Pyxis is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITC Infotech, providing QA services aimed at the financial services industry, specifically in capital markets and investment banking. They provide a proprietary methodology that when decoded is a Six Sigma-lite and essentially little more than an elaborately phrased engagement management model. Their market aims at providing off-shore resourcing for test automation, which for many in the marketplace is a problematic solution when proprietary and secure data is a major element.
The QA model could use further attention to detail, and does not leverage any level of on-shore capability, on which the firm is quite short. The firm also makes heavy use of third party contractors, but has a poor track record in providing payment to its vendors; as a result, anyone seeking a vendor relationship would do well to require up-front payment from their corporate parent versus awaiting Pyxis’ own AP apparatus.
