Acta Verba provided event management and PR services for various HP projects. The topics varied from automated testing, security, compliance through service management and automation to executive media outreach. Some examples are below.

Approach:
We wanted to engage not only current customers and partners, but also the media and the QA experts nationwide. So in 2013 we launched, in cooperation with ICT Media, a national online survey on “Software Quality Assurance – practices and perceptions in Bulgaria”. 

Results:
Within 2 weeks, the survey was taken by 260 experts from 166 different organizations.
 The results were presented at a special event attended by media and HP customers and prospects

Some media coverage (in Bulgarian):
Infoweek: 92% of exploitable vulnerabilities are in software
ComputerworldSecurity, efficiency and faster time to market as the top benefits from the automated software testing
CIO magazine: HP&Experian 3 pages case study of managing dynamic business environments. Link to the online version of the publication
