The Process

The key to a successful development project is the process with which it is undertaken. The processes we adopted are considered "best of breed" and then continually improved over time.

• Today our process begins with the writing of a comprehensive set of software specifications complete with screen shots and detailed descriptions of the feature set and functionality of each screen. During this process we work closely with the customer to insure that the code being designed and documented on paper incorporates all of the customers' business rules, logic, workflow and requirements.

• Once the software specification is approved by the customer we enter an extremely controlled process of development. This is done by breaking the job down into many small tasks and milestones, insuring that the project does not become stalled on any particular issue or move away from the approved design. Throughout this development process the customer is involved in a series of development review meetings to insure that software as envisioned meets the business requirements.

• Next comes a relentless process of testing that moves each object of code through a four step testing process. If at any point it fails a testing criteria, the bug is documented, fixed and the testing process begins again from the very beginning.

• Lastly comes a phased deployment process moving through a series of three releases allowing for the software to easily transition into the business environment it was designed to automate.

All of these steps are regulated and controlled by a system of project management that keeps the customer and the developers monitoring the progress each step of the way to insure the project remains on budget, on time and the final product is what the customer wanted.
