When Kris Canekeratne together with a small team of
co-founders established Virtusa (originally called
Technology Providers) in 1996, the goal was to provide engineers in South Asia
an opportunity to explore the outer limits of emerging technologies by
participating in the rapidly evolving US product development landscape. They
leveraged knowledge sharing across geographies, explored new technology
platforms and tapped into the potential of global collaboration, for building
mission critical products. Success hinged on the time to market factor and the
ability to empower leading software companies to accelerate their product
development initiatives. In a short period of time, Virtusa was able to achieve
the ability to:
-
Attract some of the finest engineering talent in the world.
-
Build global processes to handle the rigors of product
development (the most exacting form of software development).
-
Take advantage of engineering best-practices to de-risk
software development.
-
Extend the workday to a 24-hour virtual cycle.
Virtusa's proprietary software execution framework,
‚Distributed Innovation VelocityTM(DIV), institutionalizes
engineering best-practices and takes global collaboration to a higher level of
performance, vitalizing software execution from the shores of Boston, USA, to
Sri Lanka and India, providing customers with competitive advantages -- the
ability to compress time-to-market, eliminate risk, improve predictability and
build products and applications more cost-effectively.
