Dear Adrian:

On behalf of Cigniti, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to demonstrate our QA and Testing capabilities in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Industry. I along with my Senior Executives & Management team have successfully implemented Test Center of Excellence, delivered Managed Testing Services and provided end-to-end testing services for leading pharmaceuticals and healthcare providers across geographies. Cigniti has demonstrated the ability to develop long-term, trusting relationships as you can notice from client testimonials and recognition by leading industry analysts.

Being the World’s Leading Independent Testing services organisation and having successfully delivered testing services for over 15 years, Cigniti has transformed the lessons learnt and best practices into smart and efficient way of working: “SMART Tools^TM”. These tools are SDLC agnostic and accelerate events across the Software Test Life Cycle. Most importantly these proprietary tools will be available and deployed at “No Charge” to AstraZeneca.

Cigniti Health Care COE consists of both dedicated and virtual team, in the roles of domain consultant, test architect, test automation architect, performance architect, etc. that supports testing requirements for both existing and prospective customers. On an average we have 10% of our staff have experience in working with healthcare domain. We also have Strategic Partnership with a HealthCare QA provider specialized in providing:

• 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA EDI and ICD-9, 10 clinical testing life cycles
• Testing ACO’s, HIE’s and ICD-10 implementations
• Test Data Management

We have successfully executed several testing engagements for health care customers and happy to provide case studies during our detailed technical discussions. Below are few examples where we have served healthcare customers.

• Conducted Performance and Test Automation service for a leading health care management solution provider based out of India
• Performed compatibility testing for a leading multinational pharmaceutical and consumer health care company base out of London
• Conducted Test Automation service with HP QTP tool for a leading pharmaceutical company based out of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, US.
• Test Automation services for a Leading Health Care Provider based out of Nebraska
• Performance Testing services for a leading pharmaceutical company based out of Wayne

I strongly believe that with commitment from my executive team, coupled with Cigniti SMART Tools^TM, rich HCLS experience, ICD 10 and other Test Accelerator, Tool Vendor Partnerships, and strong testing services portfolio, AstraZeneca can realise these benefits against baseline:

• Improved quality & reduction in post production defects
• Accelerated test events across the software test life cycle
• Improved test coverage
• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership

We look forward to working with your team to demonstrate our testing capabilities, discuss your testing requirements and build a cost effective test solution.
