7. Define desired improvements or outcomes
•
Utilizing the process and data element mappings we will work with your team to
define and recommend areas to automate and simplify; improving the efficiency of
existing work processes or in the execution of new functions/capabilities.

8. Define functional requirements to achieve
desired outcomes
•
Utilizing process maps and key functional definitions, requirements will be defined for
every application function, integration point and a detailed functional specification to
be utilized for software development phase will be completed

10. Only design and engineering tasks are more important than the
development planning and scoping. To facility the need for constant change
during most development projects, our team utilizes the agile development
framework. Each key function of the design, development, testing and
deployment will be itemized out within our planning tools to ensure it can
be properly tracked and communicated throughout the development
lifecycle.
• Organize the activities
• Align the teams
• Communicate constantly

11. Organize the activities
•
Our program managers understand what activities can be done in
parallel and where dependencies will exist. Our team will integrate the
activities to ensure that total work effort and time to deployment is
minimized. This is a learned art and our team has years of experience
across complex and sophisticated web and mobile application projects
enabling them to limit development waste.

12. Align the teams
•
It is essential that the web and mobile teams are coordinated and are
constantly realigning as the project continues. This is handled through
daily “scrums” to review what has been accomplished and what the
target is for the day. Issues are resolved and tough problems worked out
rapidly when teams are realigning daily during the project.

13. Communicate constantly
•
The program managers pride themselves in keeping our clients informed
and ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged at the desired level.
Multiple means of communication can be incorporated but our
collaboration portal is essential to making certain it is all in one place.

15. Our team of application architects will design a scalable and secure
web and mobile application architecture that ensures the ability to
continuously deploy new capability and improve application sophistication
through continuous integration.
• Select the proper web application framework
• Define the proper data management framework
• Define the proper mobile framework

16. Select the proper web application
framework
•
Web application frameworks have become increasingly sophisticated
incorporating more than just traditional development technologies such
as PHP, Java, .NET, Ruby. Our team's experience in developing advanced,
scalable web and mobile applications helps us select both the core
development framework and necessary application specific
technologies for multimedia, social, mobile and service integration for
your particular industry's needs.

17. Define the proper data management
framework
•
Real-time data analysis, sophisticated data interactions and complex
data security requirements are driving a new breed of data
management systems such as hadoop, cassandra, mongodb in order to
keep up with the demands in this rapidly changing technology area. Our
data architects have amassed years of experience in ensuring both
corporate and consumer data systems can be properly architected and
maintained to meet the most advanced and demanding performance
and security requirements.

18. Define the proper mobile framework
•
No area of application development is advancing more rapidly in its
demands for complexity and sophistication and the enablement of a
cross-platform seamless user experience. Our team's ability to enable
an elegant user experience a crossed your web and mobile application
framework will permit you to create the most amazing user experience.

20. The art of creating a “system” that can be saleable, secure, and ready
for the future comes from a team who can see around corners, who can
imagine and do what no one else has seen. This activity is where true
genius is put to work and amazing creations can occur.
• Web application development
• Data systems development
• Mobile application development

21. Web application development
•
Our teams have developed sophisticated tools and processes for coding
PHP, .NET, Ruby, and Java Applications. Key frameworks such as Laravel,
Rails and django enable us to maintain code consistency and clean
documentation. The use of advanced development library integrations
such as ExtJS, AngularJS, jQuery, node.js and backbone.js among others
enable us to deliver extremely fast and efficient web applications.

22. Data systems development
•
Our data application teams maintain extensive training and have years
of experience in data element, data taxonomy and data systems design
and development. Ensuring a proper selection of data management
technologies such as Cassandra, mongoDB, hadoop, MS SQL, MySQL
and equivalent relational and non-relational systems are just the
beginning of the exercise. Proper design and implementation of how
data will be interrogated, related and presented is critical to ensuring a
secure and high performance application. Our team’s skills will make
this happen regardless of application size or complexity.

23. Mobile application development
•
Our Apple iOS and Google Andriod teams have developed extensive
libraries and tools that are applied using well exercised mobile
development methodologies. Our extensive experience utilizing
phonegap and/or QT has allowed us to develop cross mobile device
applications at a wicked pace with extremely elegant user experiences.

25. Our team has perfected the art of continuous deployment. The
ability to take a concept from design, to development and into production
swiftly and make iterative changes lets our clients apply concepts and
change key components based on customer feedback.
• Test Driven Development
• Continuous Integration
• Automated / Reflective QA

26. Test Driven Development
•
To achieve 99% error free code it is essential that a strict adherence to
test driven development is implemented within an organization. Writing
the tests for each section of the code and then ensuring these tests
properly complete upon build ensures that release automation can
occur with stellar results. Our rigorous adherence to full code coverage
enables us to be confident in creating “unbreakable” code.

27. Continuous Integration
•
Enabling rapid prototyping and customer-focused enhancements to
your application require that changes can be coded and deployed in
hours or days not months and years. Our use of continuous integration
methodologies ensures that your application is ready for deployment at
any moment throughout the development day.

28. Automated / Reflective QA
•
Quality assurance should be focused on identifying usability flaws,
spelling and grammar errors, graphical changes and simplifying the user
experience. With test and behavior driven development in place our QA
teams focus on each of these components with a passion and intensity
for creating a great user experience.

30. Sometimes you need to take your applications to the next level,
build on what has created the most value, and to do this you need a new
perspective. Our team has developed a solution offering that permits us to
review your current web and mobile applications and deliver defined
recommendations and help execute these as needed.
• Analyze the code
• Report on the outcomes
• Develop and deploy the changes

31. Analyze the code
