Averna, The Test Engineering Company™, is uniquely structured to give high-tech electronics OEMs full product lifecycle support, from design to manufacturing. Averna provides solutions that accelerate time-to-quality by boosting engineer and test system efficiency and the impact they have on new product design and introduction into production. Averna also supplies on-demand services for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining test systems worldwide.

Averna is a private company that was founded in 1999 as a system engineering services provider in the test and measurement industry. Since then, Averna has become the second-largest test engineering company in North America, one that intends to become the North American industry frontrunner.

With the exception of the technology downturn in 2002 and 2003, Averna has grown by 30-40% every year. We have achieved this success by identifying and acting on several trends in the industry:

• R&D-intensive companies have rigorous time-to-market requirements when issuing electronics-based products, and this generates peak demands shortly before initiating production
• Test systems represent 5-10% of R&D spending on new products; they are historically developed by test engineering groups in R&D departments, but are increasingly outsourced to companies like Averna
• Production is now mainly outsourced to low-cost countries, but R&D companies still need to adjust their manufacturing processes and product features during the initial year of a product’s commercial life

In response to these trends, Averna has invested millions of dollars into developing Proligent™, a test engineering platform that delivers best practices in one ready-to-use solution. Unlike test executives and data management tools, Proligent™ incorporates everything the user needs short of their own measurement software.

To fuel our growth over the next decade and to boost our leadership position, we will establish Averna as a strong brand synonymous with depth of resources, one that offers a single-stop alternative for hardware, software, services, and third-party partner products.

We have developed our marketing mix around Proligent™, which makes us the partner of choice for developing new test systems. As we grow, we will expand the additional services we offer to our Proligent™ client base, and this will cement our reputation as the ideal partner for OEMs trying to improve their performance and agility when introducing new products to market.
