(Source: Business Wire)SoftServe, Inc., a provider of software consulting, development, testing and lifecycle services to IT decision-makers, today announced its Abiliton "Process" module, a fully optimized approach to software development that incorporates a superior framework of services and solutions to deliver maximum value with each and every project. Abiliton Process currently optimizes SCRUM methodology for agile development, levering distributed teams across multiple time zones to deliver better quality software for SoftServe's independent software vendor (ISV) customers -- all in a fraction of the time of competing approaches.

The Abiliton Process joins the already announced "People" module, continuing SoftServe's push to change the way outsourced development projects are performed. Soon to be announced will be the final components of the complete Abiliton framework -- "Tools" and "Communication" -- which crystallize SoftServe's methodology for producing the best results with every project delivered.

SoftServe's Abiliton changes the nature of development projects that use the SCRUM framework for offshore agile development. Remote teams are strategically employed across multiple time zones, resulting in round-the-clock software development that includes quality testing and delivery within a 24-hour period. Future enhancements of the Abiliton Process will incorporate development approaches such as Waterfall and Rational Unified Process (RUP) for an optimized combination of solutions and services that ensure customers' needs are met and exceeded every time.
