Innovation (noun):
The introduction of new things, ideas, or ways of doing something
Modern business survival is dependent on perpetual innovation. Perhaps never is this more evident than in times of significant economic and societal unrest, such as today.
The rate of innovation at cloud-first companies has quickly eclipsed that of their predecessors. As a result, we can easily predict that the next few years will see significant growth in the cloud-first ecosystem, given how technology has advanced over the past few decades.
Each major technological leap forward has come from disrupting the foundational toolset built by the previous generation. Importantly, this disruption has been crucial to driving innovation.

Innovation usually starts on a small scale, e.g., when a new technology is first applied in an area where it has been developed. However, for the full benefits of innovation to be realized, it must spread across the ecosystem and equally benefit participants in different sectors and sizes. Software testing and automation are no exception to the golden rule of innovation. At Provar, we believe groundbreaking technological shifts can only materialize due to strategic investment of time and effort. We call this process the diffusion of innovation.
Therefore, we are setting up ProvarLabs, an incubation center for innovation within Provar, that will help us reach our customers where they need us, automate the entire stack of testing, and increase the reliability and scale of our solutions. Here is the mission for ProvarLabs:
While innovation can come in various forms, we are constantly looking for Core, Adjacent, and Transformational innovation.
With that ambitious mission, here’s a glimpse of strategic initiatives within ProvarLabs:
- Launch moon-shot projects and front-load failures: Innovation involves experimentation and thinking big. We will explore technologies like AI, blockchain, cloud, and edge computing to launch moon-shot projects for our customers.
- Innovation maturity management: We will manage innovation as a portfolio. This approach ensures a smooth and seamless process from ideation to delivery and support.
- Fostering a culture of innovation: We will nurture innovation across the ecosystem as part of our culture. We will use tactical tools like design thinking, brown bag sessions, and Hackathons.
- Evangelizing innovation inside and outside our organization: We will promote innovation among our team members, community, and users. This will help us break the mold in a decentralized, open, and transparent way.
We are at the next edge of possibility. Innovation is no longer just about the thrill of advancement; it is now an urgent need. We are quickly gearing up to meet this demand with scale and speed.
So, hop on our rocket ship as we explore the possibilities beyond the current and existing systems. To learn more about current career opportunities with ProvarLabs, including our open Business System Analyst and Senior R&D Engineer roles, visit Provar’s hiring page.
