Software Measurement Services: Quantity Surveyors of Information Systems
WIKIPEDIA:
“A quantity surveyor (QS) is a professional working within the construction industry concerned with identifying and controlling building costs.”
SMS quantifies the value and potential of ICT.
As Software Quantity Surveyors, we control development costs by accurate measurement of the work required. We provide crucial insight into the implications of design decisions at an early stage to avoid waste of time, effort, money and resources.
SMS’ unrivalled definition-to-deployment know-how of the complete application lifecycle ensures that good value is obtained for the money expended. Our independence and objective approach is particularly valuable in improving results from outsourced software services.
The SMS team includes leading authorities on Functional Size Measurement. SMS people were instrumental in developing the COSMIC Functional Point method and are leading the way in promulgating the significant benefits of this measurement method. We provide professional support for organisations using Mk 2 Function Points, and provide CFPS-qualified IFPUG Function Point counters.
