VIEW ALL SOLUTIONS

Our software engineering methodology from initial discovery to rollout and transition is focused on achieving your business goals.

We work to gain a true understanding of your unique business, considering your existing business and technology environments, infrastructure, and IT vision to create custom applications tailored to you.

We guide your organization through business centric decisions around user compliance, risk management, collaboration, workflows, etc. using our experience with building software that businesses run on.

Leveraging agile methodologies and a cloud first mindset we build modern applications that give organizations a faster time to market, better scalability, and reduced risk.

Initial Discovery

The key to building successful custom software is starting with a clear understanding of your current business objectives and challenges, from the organizational level down to day-to-day user activities. We do this through a process which starts with identifying a group of key stakeholders, followed by a series of detailed conversations to understand their current usage, pain points, and recommendations. When necessary, we will shadow users performing their daily tasks to better understand the challenges and opportunities, specifically how technology can enable them to spend more time bringing value and less time on process.

At this stage we uncover what technologies are currently in use and what the current IT vision is. And since we are technology agnostic, you can rest assured that we will recommend, and have experience working with and building, software that fits your organization’s technology stack and vision roadmap.

Systems Design

It is important that any application we build for our clients seamlessly integrates into their existing IT infrastructure. Based on your organizational needs, we recommend a technical architecture that fits into your broader system. This will include the application development stack, cloud recommendations, hardware and user level security, regulatory and compliance specifics, etc.

Implementation

We use agile methodologies to deliver working code in a production environment to foster real feedback from key stakeholders. Pure agile delivery focuses on iterating on software based on the team’s velocity and feedback loops, while adjusting scope and timeline to match. The challenge in delivering project-based consulting work is that delivery time and budgets matter. Our approach strikes a balance between feedback loops and budget constraints.

Our deep experience in developing business applications allows us to recommend best practices and custom processes for your business. Some considerations that we build upon are:

User compliance and risk management
Collaboration
Workflows
Data gathering and reporting

Transition

We work with your team to make sure all technical decisions are in line with your organizations’ vision and that your internal teams are bought in to the direction. After building the application we hand over the code, artifacts, and documentation transitioning to your team for long term maintenance.
