We
follow a spiral model of development developed by Boehm,
a famous computer scientist when developing our software.
This is outlined below.
Step
1 - Listen. We listen to what you want,
what your ideas are, what problems you are experiencing
and how you think a software package would help.
Step
2 - Think. A poorly designed solution
will most certainly lead to a poor outcome. Our years
of experience help us to fully analyse your requirements
and offer sound advice on appropriate solutions. From
this we can prepare a preliminary outline of our understanding,
and the structure of a design.
Step
3 - Explain. The key to software development
is our understanding of your requirements and your understanding
of the options available and the factors influencing the
project. We explain our thoughts and ideas and offer our
proposed solution explaining everything along the way.
Step
4 - Design. If you're happy with our
suggestions we form a design of the project which forms
the basis of our contract. This specifically outlines
your requirements and the solution.
Step
5 - Create.From the
design we will create your software solution in our
offices ensuring that we use recognised practices. Throughout
development we will keep regular contact and where possible
we will demonstrate the progress of the project.
Step
6 - Test.Once the software
is developed we rigorously test the system to ensure that
firstly it works correctly and secondly that it matches
the requirements and design.
Step
7 - Analyse. Once the testing stage is
complete we meet with you to analyse the outcome, ensuring
that the solution matches the design we created and that
you are happy.
Once
the project is signed off we deploy the system offering
the training outlined in the initial design, ensuring
that you make the best use of the system created.
