We setup high quality engineering and QA teams here at Apostek who get involved with product development right from inception to launch. From customer's viewpoint it is an extended engineering team located at Bangalore benefiting from the highly talented pool of people available here and 24x7 operation. Working on a product with a startup requires not only a team of highly skilled engineers, but very importantly, the 'brisk' development culture which is a combination of product mindset within the company, noncumbersome but effective processes, high communication skills and dynamic decision making at a day-to-day level. Our nimble structure makes it easy to manoeuvre ourselves with the dynamism of a startup. Our engineers are hand picked carefully after sufficient deliberation. For us, quality of each engineer matters more than the size of the team.

Apostek specializes in QA for rapid product development where deep understanding of domain and smarter testing methodologies is very essential. Typical setups have QA teams along side engineering that makes development and testing cycle very efficient. Besides, the QA team here gives the round the clock advantage by testing a work product during non-working hours in the US.

In addition to product development, Apostek provides various services and solutions to 3rd party customers. For example, for a large mobile advertisement company's customers - who are premium advertisers and publishers - the PS team at Apostek builds high quality cutting edge mobile websites, churning out about 10-12 sites per week. Productivity is vital in such services and we constantly measure ourselves with metrics that are meaningful and practical to benchmark.

Apostek helps its customers on various operations that are vital to customer's business like 24x7 network monitoring, product monitoring, setting up advertisement campaigns (for a mobile advertisement company), analysis of network health etc. This requires diverse skill sets and we have an experienced senior staff to identify and induct such talent.

Apostek provides post launch support that includes enhancements of the product, front-ending product users on field issues, solving field issues, coordinating and following up with different groups to resolve issues, providing 24x7 product/network monitoring. Post launch phase requires a different mix of skill sets and processes. We transition to this phase with well chalked out transition plan by inducting engineers suitable to handle support and defining more structured processes, standard operating procedures and training for effective written and verbal communication.
