321 Gang
Small Business Healthcare Company Case Study
Introduction
This case study of a small business healthcare company is based on a May 2023 survey of 321 Gang customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.
“Traceability is absolutely critical to our solutions, quality, and compliance. Being able to trace up and down and across to ensure all features are derived to features that are then tied to testing, ensuring we don’t miss adding features/safety mitigations and that we test all aspects of the design is critical. DOORs is the critical tool we have to determine if we have any gaps. Essential.”
“Other vendors seem to only be interested in providing support on the initial purchase and around the renewal times. 321 Gang has kept me up to date throughout the year, given me lead time, and been very responsive regardless of location in the cycle to any assistance we needed to support our move timelines and any issues with our license servers.”
“We’d be lost without 321 Gang. Always a positive can-do attitude and willingness to work with us where ever we were at in our funding and ability regardless of the smaller size of our business.”
