“When Triveni Digital (a subsidiary of LG Electronics) was building its first and second generation products (professional digital television metadata generation, digital TV stream analysis, data broadcasting equipment), we needed to have a disciplined process for requirements engineering, developing software, systems testing for quality improvements, and shipping products on time. Dr. Satish Thatte pioneered the whole process; phase gate reviews, QA/test, product documentation and manuals, and business flows to make sure our software products satisfied our customers. This was really a great deal of work that had to be done right the first time. I recommend him highly.”
