Mountain View, CA – November 11, 2011

Avantica Technologies, a leading Nearshore specialist providing software engineering services to both start-up and established software companies, announced today its new client relationship with ArmedZilla, Inc.  A new social networking site focused on the U.S. Military community, ArmedZilla provides a platform to connect military personnel, veterans, friends, family and supporters worldwide.

“This platform fills a support and service gap missing far too long within the military community,” explained David Johnson, Founder and CEO of ArmedZilla.  “Our decision to work with Avantica is based on their ability to integrate their talented software developers and testers into our internal team.  They were productive immediately, helping us meet our aggressive release goals.”

Currently, there are 24 million veterans and more than two million men and women serving in the U.S. Military.  Many feel a need to share experiences, make new connections while in the military, and stay connected once discharged.  ArmedZilla’s site, accessible at no cost, will provide this community with necessary and easy to use support services that will help them in their day-to-day lives. In addition, members can share their stories, be recognized for their service, re-connect with former buddies, and interact with friends, family and supporters.

Avantica’s engineers worked closely with ArmedZilla’s internal development team to build a reliable, feature rich site that can scale to support rapid traffic growth.  Avantica’s engineering model is highly collaborative, based on distributed Agile, English language, same U.S. time-zone, economical, with a focus on quality software engineering.

“We’re honored to be working with ArmedZilla and playing a role in helping to bring this important set of capabilities to a community that deserves it – U.S. veterans, active duty military personnel and their families who served with them,” said Mario Chaves, CEO of Avantica Technologies.  “Avantica has helped both start-ups and the Software 500 release nearly 1,600 products over the past 15 years - none more important than this launch.”

In addition to helping to develop ArmedZilla’s social networking site, Avantica’s engineers are also providing QA and testing.  Avantica’s QA service utilizes leading testing tools, while facilitating remote customer access to see the results as soon as they are generated.  The company’s comprehensive QA experience spans requirements analysis, TC definition, test cycle execution, and QA results delivery.
