Case Study: Ball Corporation Nearshore QA
Doyle Group delivers nearshore solution
Doyle Group delivers nearshore solution
When Ball Corporation embarked on a critical project to migrate over 1,000 integrations from an outdated platform to a modern, cloud-based solution, they needed a partner who could provide skilled testing resources to ensure a seamless transition. This project required standing up new servers, deploying updated software versions, and rigorously testing each integration—all within tight deadlines and limited
internal testing capacity. Facing these challenges, Ball
Corporation turned to The Doyle Group for support.
Location: Denver, CO
Description: Through tailored collaboration and a cost-effective nearshore solution, The Doyle Group delivered critical testing support to ensure Ball’s project success.
Year Completed: 2024
The Roles Filled by The Doyle Group:
Recognizing the urgency and complexity of the project, The Doyle Group followed a rigorous and efficient process to deliver the right resources. Within just one week, we sourced and presented four well-qualified candidates for a QA Tester role, all thoroughly vetted for technical expertise and cultural fit. While this was the project leader’s first experience working with a nearshore QA resource from Mexico, we worked closely with their team to address concerns and build
trust.
After three sets of interviews, the client selected a highly skilled QA Tester, whose time zone alignment and exceptional technical capabilities ensured seamless collaboration. Additionally, The Doyle Group had placed a QA Test Manager to oversee the testing strategy and ensure
alignment with project goals. Together, the QA Test Manager and onshore lead oversaw test planning and stakeholder coordination, while the nearshore QA Tester focused on day-to-day testing of the integrations and mitigating risks.
The nearshore approach saved significant time and effort, as the client only needed to interview a few pre-screened candidates. And the results were transformative. The
nearshore QA Tester and QA Test Manager provided high-quality testing support, reducing project costs and meeting tight deadlines. All integrations were successfully tested and validated, allowing Ball to allocate resources to other critical initiatives while exceeding expectations and alleviating hesitations about working with a nearshore resource.
The success of this project underscored The Doyle Group’s ability to deliver tailored solutions and exceptional talent. By co-developing a strategy that addressed the client’s unique challenges, our consultants ensured a seamless migration and demonstrated the effectiveness of the nearshore model. This partnership not only solved an immediate need but also positioned us as a trusted partner for Ball Corporation’s future initiatives.
