For many years, the Sogeti Group has been active in publishing its own unique Thought Leadership, particularly in the field of testing. In response to market and client demands, we have written over a dozen technical business publications, helping to steer the testing professional away from the pitfalls and traps of the IT world.
In writing these publications, we have drawn extensively on the expertise of our consultants who have practical hands-on experience, working closely with major clients in a variety of industries. In addition, some books have been co-authored with our industry partners, such as IBM.
Sogeti’s publications have been produced in a number of languages and are available in specialist bookstores around the world or online.

TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds
Ewald Roodenrijs
TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds is an innovative book on Testing Clouds for the QA early adopter. This book is different from the TMap® book series because, instead of a step-by-step guide, this book describes the cloud business model for testing, the evolution of business technology and steps the testing profession and Sogeti is taking in undertaking cloud projects.
TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds explains that the cloud is a business model or platform on which testing must be carried out just like any other service. It enables convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

TeamPark/From Crowd to Community
Employees of every company can deliver bigger achievements if organized in communities instead of only teams and if we let them collaborate in other ways than just purely functional. What is required to accomplish this is a social collaboration platform. A combination of software like MySpaces, Facebook or Digg. But also like Youtube or Wikipedia. This kind of social software is very effective in creating communities and utilizing crowd-power. This enables what we call the Intelligent Organization. To transform an organization into an Intelligent Organization is not just a matter of making available such a social platform. Many activities and a structured approach is necessary to get the platform accepted and to bring it alive.
