We have many years of experience in software development to meet your needs. We pay great attention to the professionalism and quality of the project, the functionality delivered and an accurate delivery time and cost.
How we do it
A typical project for a company might follow the pattern:
- A totally free of charge, no obligation consultation. Here your business and its needs can be understood and some suggestions made. If there is a genuine benefit for your company to have a system developed we can start to bring togther your ideas and needs with our expertise to begin outlining what it should do. Nothing will be suggested unless it is going to truly benefit you.
- Depending on the complexity of the business requirements and system, another meeting might be arranged to further detail your needs. We will spend time to listen and study the application scopes of the software, your business modes, and business procedures.
- A list of system requirements will be made and a quotation will be sent to you, which will provide you estimations of the workload, the timeframe and a fixed cost. It will make note of any parts that are using special development techniques.
- Upon acceptance – a Job Specification will be given to you to agree. This will outline what the system needs to do, to establish a satisfactory delivery.
- The development will begin of your software according to the development plan and time schedule.
- We will keep you informed with the status and progress of the development at all stages of the development process.
- A first version will be demonstrated to the client. Discussions and feedback on this may prompt certain alterations.
- A trial installation will allow on site testing. Training will be given to any testers.
- Upon rectification of any reported imperfections and confirmation that the specification has been matched then the system will go live. Full training provided.
- Support and advice will be routinely available. Extra functionality can be incorporated into your system over time as future project work. This needn’t be thought of as a static project. As time goes by your imagination, fuelled by seeing what can be done, will envisage ideas you wouldn’t have had previously thought and may find new ways that the database can become an invaluable tool. We oftern find our clients get much more than they ever expected from the original project.
