Persistent’s Advantage

On the Technology Frontier

Persistent has taken the industry lead by investing in four key areas – Cloud Computing, BI & Analytics, Collaboration and Mobility, which are the building blocks for technology products and enterprise applications of the future. As a pioneer in cloud services, we developed our first application on an external cloud platform back in 2007. Our mobility practice has a dedicated team focused on integrating Skype technology into today’s latest devices including Smartphones, Tablets and Connected TVs. Our passion and commitment to investing in new technologies is why innovative enterprises turn to us to help them develop their technology strategy.

Product Development DNA

Product development is in our DNA, and the heart and soul of our company. For more than 20 years, Persistent has worked in lock step with pioneering start-ups, innovative enterprises and the world’s largest technology brands. Over those years we have perfected product engineering processes by using agile methodologies across distributed teams to deliver highest quality scalable products on schedule and on cost. We completely align ourselves with customer product shipping cycles and every member of our team is committed to ensuring a truly positive end-user experience.

Our creative engagement models including Virtual R&D, Risk and Reward Sharing and Outcome-Based Pricing are designed to address unique product lifecycle challenges. It is no surprise then that we have successfully developed more than 3,000 products and applications for nearly 300 customers in just the last five years.

Persistent’s Product Development DNA is also a critical differentiator for our enterprise customers. Unlike our competitors, we approach each enterprise engagement with a focus on revenue enhancement and business growth, not just cost minimization. Our enterprise partnerships leverage our core technology expertise – whether it is by developing a new customer-focused application, integrating large volumes of data from an acquisition, or developing a collaborative enterprise portal. We help enterprise customers enhance the value and life of their existing IT investments through creative use of newer technologies which meet, and exceed, the most rigorous quality and innovation standards.

IP Acceleration

We appreciate the intense time-to-market pressures facing the software industry today. We are relentless in our efforts to optimize the product development cycle so our customers can create, and maintain, a clear competitive edge. Persistent’s diverse IP portfolio helps technology companies accelerate their time from idea to revenue generation.

Five percent of Persistent’s employee base is dedicated to research and IP development and continuously tracking technology disruptions in the market. This team is constantly innovating new technology solutions that are focused on the four key building blocks of our IP portfolio: Cloud Computing, BI & Analytics, Collaboration and Mobility.

Smart Partnering, Pioneering solutions

Over the next few years, outsourcing as we know it now will cease to exist, as customers move away from customized application development and maintenance engagements that cost millions of dollars.
