This is Our Story
From a Vision to Global Impact in Custom Software Development!
For 30 years QAT Global has built a reputation of driving Client Success!
From Colleagues to Business Partners
The Founding Vision
In 1995, as experts in the CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) Technology, QAT Global was formed in Omaha, Nebraska by Ken Bass and Rollie Stephens. Driven by a shared vision, they believed their passion and expertise could help businesses succeed worldwide. With a remarkable talent for identifying and working with patterns, Ken and Rollie quickly made their mark—consulting in over 13 countries and securing contracts with Fortune 100 companies in QAT’s early days. These accomplishments laid the foundation for what QAT Global has become today: a leader in custom software development, 30 years strong.
From the very first hire, Ken and Rollie built QAT Global on a foundation of integrity. Every team member is chosen not just for their expertise, but for their alignment with our core values—honesty, loyalty, trust, and a passion for delivering client success. These values drive everything we do, from how we collaborate as one team to how we deliver quality custom software solutions with accountability and enthusiasm. At QAT Global, integrity isn’t just a value—it’s the cornerstone of our culture and the key to our success.

Built to Evolve
Ken and Rollie built QAT Global on their expertise in CASE technology, which was groundbreaking at the time. While CASE technology is rarely used today, their commitment to innovation and adaptability has allowed QAT Global to evolve with changing technologies and remain a leader in custom software development.
“We’re using new tools and techniques today, but the fundamentals haven’t changed and most importantly, we still do it right. ” – Rollie Stephens
