Our value proposition…

Engaging a software development project is costly and time consuming. It is also a risky endeavor, often prone to failure. According to The Standish Group, over 23% of software projects begun in the US during 2002 failed completely, while another 49% did not perform as expected. At PSL we take these statistics seriously, and focus the totality of our resources in preventing such pitfalls.

Our value proposition is threefold: we offer best-in-class software solutions of exceptional quality, delivered on-time and within budget, at less than half the costs of comparable first-world alternatives.

Exceptional Quality…
PSL utilizes the world's most rigorous software development standards. We are currently assessed at level 5 of the SEI's CMMI, which has become the de facto standard to judge the maturity of software organizations worldwide. Furthermore, we utilize ISO9001:2000 procedures, Six Sigma statistical controls, as well as other proprietary methods that monitor the quality of our development process and the reliability of our software.

Our achievements are not simply academic merits, but provide tangible benefits to the customer. Whether it be a customized solution or the implementation of our ERP platform, we deliver software that is:

• Extremely reliable.
• Guaranteed to fulfill expected functionalities, on account of institutionalized project planning
  procedures that anticipate problem areas.
• Fully visible and transparent, allowing the client to question the project's status at any time, or
   delve into programming difficulties and how they were resolved.
• Entirely monitored and measurable, using full Statistical Process Control methodologies that
   provide performance metrics for all essential tasks.
• Scalable and flexible, due to PSL's object and component oriented programming standards.

…Delivered on-time and within budget…
Our more than 600 client engagements, coupled with our careful track-record of the complexity of past software programming, allow us to predict completion times with great accuracy. This makes project costs more transparent to our customers, allowing them to estimate the real cost/benefit of the task at hand.

Another important plus is our location. Being rooted in the northernmost region of South America, we can reach clients from Canada to Argentina within a few hours time. An important advantage when personal contact is required for the successful delivery of a project.

…at less than half the cost of comparable first-world alternatives.
By performing the grunt of development work in our Latin American Software Factories, we deliver solutions at less than 60% the cost of comparable quality first-world providers. Indeed, our prices often fall below those of rival off-shore vendors, who seldom posses our quality and experience.
