Goals & Strategies
During this phase we work with you to gain an understanding of your business and your goals. With the intelligence gathered, we work with you to scope out the best way forward and produce a requirements specification which guides delivery. This approach de-risks the project and provides timescales and cost breakdowns. This is followed by a detailed review of any existing technical architecture. We audit current technologies and existing systems, explore platforms and users, and investigate your business processes to understand your workflows.
Architecture
During step two, we plan your new business processes and target architecture. Technology choices are explored and using our knowledge and expertise we find the right fit for you. We also map out any database schemas, understand data migration requirements, review required third-party integrations, and define any APIs needed.
Development
We believe in an agile approach to development with a continuous feedback cycle. We iterate and collect feedback at every stage of the development process and encourage a high level of involvement from stakeholders which results in greater overall satisfaction. The development process is project managed by us in its entirety and we put a clearly defined DevOps plan in place. Whether we're working with you on a brand-new product or software you already have, we can exercise iterative market testing to ensure the end user's expectations are exceeded.
Quality Assurance & Launch
Testing is an integral part of our process, from Unit Testing through Continuous Integration, Alpha, Beta, and Acceptance Testing, your solution is comprehensively validated. Following this, any data migration process and third-party integration begins, pre-launch activities are executed, and your launch plan is actioned. Typically, this will begin with a soft launch, drawing in real-world feedback, before full release.
Support
Launch isn't where the partnership ends. Our dedicated team continue supporting you on post-launch activities, maintenance, and DevOps management. Development is usually just the start of your product's lifecycle and using detailed analysis of usage patterns and other metrics, we can help identify opportunities for enhancement and maximise your investment.
