Digitization
SVI believes that for software applications to be useful and effective, we must ensure that inputs are accurate and complete. To achieve this, we have a methodology for digitization that has been tried and tested for many years across various industries.
Digitization goes beyond merely creating digital copies of your paper documents. The real value of digitization is about making the digitized documents and their data retrievable and useful for subsequent processing. We do this through the combination of our people, process, technology, and equipment. SVI guarantees 99.95% data accuracy through its double-blind pass process.
Quality testing is important in every system or application being developed. Our team of quality assurance experts help the client detect software defects early when the costs of fixing such defects are still relatively small. No matter how effective and robust an application is deemed to be, extensive testing is still needed before releasing a software product to the market.
SVI helps your business by serving as an independent quality assurance department that screens software in its various stages of development. We report all defects found, from minor ones and aesthetic-related to major and critical defects, so that the development team can address them accordingly.
With applications becoming prevalent on mobile platforms and various operating systems, companies should have measures for comprehensive yet cost-effective quality assurance testing. This is where SVI’s software quality testing team can really make a difference.

Our tailored delivery models provide you with the ability to achieve your specific application outsourcing goals based on your desired results and readiness for an onsite-offshore partnership.
SVI can help you create and validate your application outsourcing offshore strategy thru MAPS (Management Assessment and Planning Services). MAPS is a series of working sessions that provide your key decision makers with a global roadmap to achieving your business goals along established strategies.
The scope of the study can be limited to a single area of focus or may encompass the entire information technology or business area of an organization.
Tailored Delivery Models
Project-Based
From our pool of resources, we organize a team with specific skills to meet your project needs. Resources may be a shared or can be a dedicated project team. The team employs proven methodologies and processes — assessed at CMM Level 5 and ISO 9001:2000 — translated into consistent, reliable, and repeatable results. Team and process are the key ingredients of a successful project.
Dedicated Team
We recruit and train a dedicated service team to support your specific application environment. The team grows in domain knowledge over time and provides more value to the client as it matures. Typical projects handled by dedicated teams are application maintenance, 24×7 production support, helpdesk, software testing, and document management.
Dedicated Development Center
We operate a dedicated development center (DDC) – an independent facility including an office, data center, and all the personnel needed to run your shop. Several options are available for the partnership structure, management, security, resources, and roles to ensure a seamless extension of your current IT organization.
In the evolving landscape of software solutions, web-based applications are becoming the norm due to their fast deployment and accessibility. Nonetheless, most application codes are still written in legacy languages like Cobol, CICS, RPG, or Natural/Adabas. Surprising as it may seem, such applications still perform critical high-value business functions that are difficult to replace.
Business rules are often embedded in the code. As time progresses, users demand more functionality from their application but are constrained by the limitations of the legacy platform. It’s time to modernize the application. Some approaches that we use are:
- Re-hosting: Moving the application from one operating system to another without major changes in the code
- Code rewrite: Translating legacy code to a modern language while retaining the functionality
- Re-engineering: Extracting the functional specifications from the code and designing a functionally equivalent system
- Re-architecting: Redesigning an application to conform to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Replacement: Acquiring and customizing a commercial software package or developing a new system from scratch
Features of Application Modernization Service
- Rewriting of legacy code into modern languages such as Java Enterprise Edition
- Creation of a new system that is functionally equivalent to the legacy version

SVI’s process-oriented digitization solution is driven by its understanding of the importance of data. Typically, a file or a document is seldom used by itself. It usually has several related documents that are used to support and explain its content or even authenticate the validity and correctness of the primary document.
While the data in a single document can already be considered important, the data generated based on the relationships between various documents can have a greater and more decisive impact on today’s modern landscape.
The interrelation of data contained in the documents can map out the overall persona of the clientele, pointing to their affinity towards certain products and services being offered in the market. With this in mind, SVI optimized its processes for data collection by storing digital records and making the contained data retrievable for subsequent processing, thus enabling the company to harness the untapped potential of data and the underlying relationships across various data sets.
Back then, data storage is very expensive so only the most critical data are being stored. Only a handful of businesses are financially capable of procuring and maintaining costly mainframes.
Fortunately, with the technological advancements and the emergence of cloud computing, it is now feasible to store all potentially valuable data for analytics. With today’s market driven by big data analytics, storing potentially valuable data can be the deciding factor whether a business succeeds or fails. SVI leverages the power of analytics to uncover previously unknown correlations, market trends, and customer preferences to introduce new software solutions and services. Big data analytics powers data-driven management and decision-making, and it all begins with digitization.
In this internet day and age, getting your message across the globe is just a few clicks away. Conveying your ideas is one thing but getting your recipients to understand your thoughts is another. Therefore, it is imperative that your online content is developed with clarity and bespoke for your target audience. Web publishing is no easy task but we are up to it. Informative and persuasive, that’s how we get it done.
In line with today’s market driven by analytics, there is a need to look into the contents of websites to determine whether the data contained are able to deliver the intended message to the audience and potential clients.
The organization and presentation of data can affect how the audience understands the meaning behind the text and figures. Upon closer inspection of data contents, certain tweaks and updates can be implemented to better convey the data deliverables to the public and potential clientele.
