Custom Application Development

Our development group uses an iterative development approach - meaning we work with you closely to ensure you see progress each and every week, and we get feedback on that progress so the final product is exactly what you were looking for!

We can assist you from idea conception to business casing to recommendations to prototyping to development to implementation - utilize our skills wherever you need us most!

Our Development Methodology

1. Inception & Requirements
We begin by making sure we understand exactly your needs. We will meet with project champions, project sponsors and users to fully understand what each stakeholder wants to achieve. We gather artifacts and analyze any existing manual or automated systems. Then we work together to clarify functionality, deliverables and define the project scope.

2. Elaboration
This second phase involves defining use-cases, understanding your IT environment, producing prototypes and mock-ups, and getting the green light from you to move forward.

3. Construction
Now we move into actual construction of the application. We use an iterative approach and endeavour to deliver code to you each and every week. This way we get your feedback and stay on course to ensure you are getting exactly what you need from functionality to the cosmetic interface.

4. Transition
The transition phase moves the application from our development environment and we install it in yours, do team and user testing, train your folks, provide you with documentation and initial support until you are ready to take over.
