When one of the largest Japanese Conglomerates was looking
for a partner to develop their enterprise security solution,
they were not after just another sub-contractor. They wanted
a partner who could add real value in terms of product and
domain expertise. This partner had to have the following qualities
- In-depth knowledge of the domain
- Capable of working in a product development mode
- Understanding and experience of the Japanese work culture
- Fierce dedication to Quality and Upgradation of technology
They found these in NeST, a company with whom they have been
working for almost eight years. During these years they realized
that NeST is a company that does not just turn a detailed
specification into a piece of code. They understood NeST as
a company that
- Looked to exceed the customer’s expectations
- Could provide a solution not just the man-power
- Had a dedication to quality that matched with Japanese
expectations
- Kept technology skills at state-of-the-art
- Understood the demands of product development, and supported
the client in every way possible to take the product to
the end users
NeST contributed heavily in developing the idea into a fully
matured product. In addition to providing extremely critical
technical inputs regarding the detailed specifications, design,
and testing, NeST was also critically involved in the evaluation
and certification of the product at EAL3 of the ISO 15408
Common Criteria for Evaluation of Security Products.
