Edge Testing Solutions Announces A 50% Increase In Revenue

Online, April 12, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Edge Testing Solutions has today announced annual results of £1.65 million, bringing to a close a robust and profitable year which saw revenue increase by 50%. Since its launch in 2007, the award winning software testing company has continued to sustain high levels of growth, increasing turnover year on year, despite the recession.

Edge Testing Solutions is a powerful independent force in software testing, working with some of the UK's leading public and private sector organisations including Heineken, Historic Scotland and Ignis Asset Management.

2011 saw the company extend its client portfolio with six high profile new blue-chip accounts. The company has already made a strong start to 2012 securing further work on the Scottish Government Framework and signalling its intention to expand geographically by winning a significant contract in the south of England in the financial services sector. This year will also see Edge Testing undertake the development of a number of new products and services.

Brian Ferrie, Edge Testing Solutions' co-founder comments: "We are delighted with such a significant increase in revenue. This has allowed us to invest heavily in both infrastructure and our sales procedures, which will help drive the business forward in the coming year."

"We are hugely excited about the next 12 months and already know that we will generate 60% of last year's profit in the first quarter of this year. We are forecasting a turnover of £2.4 million for 2012 and have introduced quarterly targets to maintain this powerful momentum."

Increasingly in the ICT sector there is a move towards agile development, and it is this trend that Edge Testing Solutions aims to leverage. The company is adapting the services it provides in line with this movement, and are already offering training courses in agile testing with further courses to be added later in the year.

Edge Testing Solutions unites software testing and business strategy and directly impacts the achievement of clients' business objectives. Technology and sector independent, the company has a broad client base and is able to target all markets. This has allowed it to prosper despite the tough trading climate.

With an ethos that 'prevention is better than cure', Edge Testing Solutions takes a holistic and business focused approach to testing. When testing is initiated at the start of a project lifecycle it enables companies to increase quality and reduce both overall project costs and time to market by finding defects early.

As two of the UK's leading experts in software testing, it is the combined reputation of co-founders Susan Chadwick and Brian Ferrie that has given Edge Testing Solutions a competitive advantage, and facilitated the company's continued growth and profitability despite the challenging economic conditions.
