The Independent QA & IT Consultancy

Empowerment Quality Engineering Ltd (EQE) understands the business of developing and maintaining IT projects. Our industrial experience is immersed in how the complex inter-dependencies of people, technology and process can make or break your project.

What's different about us

Other organisations promise you perfection at the onset of a project yet deliver you pain at the end. From the outset, we identify what can go wrong and immediately mitigate against those. And we continually do so until delivery, seeking to erase potential weaknesses. Your business and your projects are dynamic and so is our approach. That is why EQE bring value add and success to every piece of work we do.

Choose EQE

EQE was founded in 2006, by Colin Dinan and Barry McManus, to provide an organisation that understands that IT quality should not be in competition with budget and time. EQE is grounded in software engineering and Quality Assurance. We have experienced at first hand that an "active" quality and development process will propel the success of your deliverables.

Colin and Barry have also built the EQE Tool Kit - a repository of IT tools, approaches and knowledge from over 40 years of IT experience. This is designed to provide our people with an extensive repository of information that constantly challenges their thoughts and improves their knowledge. In turn, this helps to provide you with greater value add.
