Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. (NRI) today announces that its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Nomura Research Institute Australia, Pty Ltd has completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of SQA Holdco Pty Ltd, the ultimate parent of Planit Test Management Solutions Pty Ltd.
Planit is headquartered in Sydney Australia. Planit enables its clients to accelerate their delivery of quality software through its comprehensive range of quality assurance services, training, accelerators and on-demand solutions.
Planit has offices across Australia, New Zealand, India and the United Kingdom, and employs 1,500+ strong team which includes specialists across functional testing, automation, performance, monitoring, virtualization, devops, agile, accessibility, security and more.
The Planit acquisition demonstrates NRI’s steady expansion of its Australian and overall global footprint in line with its long-term management vision “Vision2022”.
