The ROI of Choosing ALT for your Development Work

Leveraging ALT Software's skilled team results in achieving the desired results while consuming far fewer internal resources and at a lower cost. The benefit of our experience allows us to offer competitive fair pricing with multiple pricing options to provide our clients with project flexibility

Why Outsource your Development Projects to ALT?

  • Top notch engineers with expertise in specific niche technologies
  • Dramatically reduce development time for complex software projects. The ALT Team is 'ready to go' without any ramp-up time so you can compress the early development phases
  • Utilize an established team of experts with the proven expertise and experience established in previous design projects including the OpenGL solutions deployed in the F/A-18, Apache Longbow and numerous commercial aircraft display systems
  • Utilize ALT resources for temporary projects and avoid having to layoff or re-assign staff after project completion
  • Infrastructure is already in place to allow quick response to changing customer requirements and long-term technical support needs
  • ALT's Quality Assurance and Testing processes ensure superior quality and independent QA Labs
  • Proven reliability and stringent software practices including DO-178B
  • Use your internal resources to focus on business critical R&D efforts.
  • No headhunting costs or delays to ramp up a team
  • Experience with government standards for software with small memory footprint that is extremely reliable and high-performance


Calculating your ROI


ROI measures how effectively a business uses its resources to generate profit. Compare the ROI for outsourcing to ALT vs. using your own internal development resources by asking these basic questions:

  • Expertise: Do you have the niche expertise in-house or will you need to train or recruit?
  • Time-to-Market: How much ramp-up time will your in-house staff require?
  • What other projects will need to be put on hold to allow internal staff to complete the new project?
  • Stringent QA: Do you have rigorous in-house QA teams and equipment?
  • Support: Can you allocate staff for long-term support and upgrades?

Demonstrated Quality

Since it's founding in 1994, ALT Software continues to prove its ability to deliver ongoing quality software to its clients.

ALT Software specializes in delivering inventive software products, services, and design solutions to enable OEMs to rapidly produce, deploy, and support reliable embedded devices.

Our quality assurance team and matured QA lab consistently ensures quality software development in all phases of its development cycle. Our teams of developers ensure rigorous coding standards are adhered to and that software architecture standards are always maintained. By using industry-based certifications, comprehensive test suites, vast QA experience and internally developed testing procedures, we consistently deliver high quality software.

ALT has always had a major focus on developing quality software, it is a large factor in ALT remaining in business for the last 10 years. To produce quality software, the design of the software must be architected from the beginning to account for the final testing requirements. ALT has many years of experience commencing with the Microsoft WHQL certification program in 1994, and continuing with ISO 9000 programs. The addition of DO-178B in January 2001 is one of the newer certifications ALT has added to its quality suite.

At ALT, quality is more than running a test suite on a software program. It is the functional and design specifications at the start of a project that define the scope of the project. Specifying external resources are required, and what externally developed software is this software module required to function with in the target system. It continues with source code control and design reviews throughout the project to ensure a specific build target is reproducible. Interim software builds are documented with a description of what has changed, and accompanied with error and test reports. When the final build is certified, ALT can prove quality was built into the software from the beginning. This is a key ideology in the ISO 9000 framework, and the DO-178B guidelines.
