MOORPARK, Calif., August 30, 1999 - Genoa Technology Inc., a premier supplier of hardware testing services and automated testing products, and Revision Labs Inc., a pioneer in software quality assurance testing services, have merged to form QualityLogic Inc. The complementary resources of Genoa and Revision Labs in Quality Assurance (QA) management and execution combine to make QualityLogic a leader in providing strategic quality assurance solutions.
Solutions provided by QualityLogic address the challenges business managers, Research and Development managers and QA managers face in producing high quality products within time and budget constraints. QualityLogic meets these challenges with the appropriate mix of test tools, test resources and quality management. Serving businesses of all sizes, QualityLogic has an impressive client list ranging from Internet startups, such as 800.COM, to Fortune 500 corporations, such as IBM, Microsoft, Xerox and Intel.
QualityLogic provides a broad range of testing services, from individual test projects to complete outsourcing of QA functions. The new company will continue to develop and market specialized commercial tools for testing printers, facsimiles, scanners, digital cameras, multifunction devices, interfaces and telephony service providers. In addition, QualityLogic offers training on software development, quality and testing subjects and staffing services for test and QA personnel.
"Quality assurance is one of the primary drivers behind the success or failure of organizations," says C. Michael Smith, president, QualityLogic. "We view quality as strategic for any business, and we work closely with our clients to provide whatever is necessary to ensure their products are of the highest quality and their operations run smoothly. This merger has made us unique in the industry; we alone have the resources and expertise to provide a full gamut of QA solutions to our clients."
The merger of Genoa Technology and Revision Labs is the culmination of a successful partnership that began in 1997 when the companies joined forces to provide a dedicated, local test lab for Hewlett-Packard's printer division in Boise, Idaho. Now, QualityLogic brings together Genoa and Revision Labs to serve a larger customer base with a far broader range of offerings than could be achieved by either company alone.
QualityLogic headquarters is located in Moorpark, CA, with additional facilities in Redmond, WA. and Boise, ID. The new company's management team includes C. Michael Smith, formerly president and COO of Revision Labs, Genoa cofounders Jim Zuber and Gary James and Revision Labs founder James Mater.
