Why DGI?

• Global Testing. No travel is required with DGI's full matrix interoperability testing. We have facilitated tests with large groups of products from around the globe -multiple time zones in one test.

• Cutting edge test administration tools. DGI is committed to constant process improvement and our web based test tools have developed over time to assist the tester in better capturing and accessing information during testing as well as improvements in coordination of large numbers of tests among multiple testers. This includes InSitu®, our automated testing tool.

• Trusted test administration experience. DGI test administrators facilitate the development of the test plan, administer and manage the entire testing process, and write the final report.

• Trusted certification management experience. DGI understands that products with version once certified must be maintained. Our experienced certification administrator job duties include creating a testing process that fits the needs of the industry being served, managing products with version information from each participant, resolving conflicts over the product release schedules and test calendars, resolving questions around OEM environments and product platform/version issues, and answering/mediating ongoing user questions on any conflicts between certified products.

• Developer QA testing. DGI offers companies additional time to test between interoperability tests to do Quality Assurance testing. Backward compatibility and minor changes to tested versions are all issues that can be resolved by this service.

• Self-paced entry. DGI has changed the "In the Queue" test process from hands on to self-paced environments. This self paced testing allows a less expensive approach to gain entry into the next full matrix interoperability test for certain tests.

• Relationship management. DGI can be an important link and buffer to bridge the requirements of the relevant industry group(s), software developers and the technical standards groups. We understand how to balance the unique requirements and concerns of each of the various stakeholders and have successfully navigated the complexities of these relationships for many years.

• Marketing Program. As the most recognized interoperability certification testing body world-wide, DGI is uniquely positioned to assist in developing a marketing program to promote the certification program. We have worked with various industry groups and software vendors to ensure a successful marketing launch to advertise the program and the resulting test results.
