oUR mETHODOLOGY
It is our belief that business applications are integral to
the business they apply to. As such, it is necessary to keep an
eye on the functions a particular solution is attempting to
address. It is all too common to find the engineering and
technical novelty of a solution taking the forefront and driving a
project away from the initial focus.
As such, our charter is to build solutions for our clients that
fit their business model and lend themselves to easy integration
with other systems as well as further development and
enhancements.
dEFINE
Our methodology centers around the requirements for a
particular project. This is the logical first step in any project
but a surprising number of endeavors are undertaken without due
attention paid to this most important phase. We use a variety of
modeling and design techniques to define and document the
requirements for a project. This is what we (and everyone else!)
call the 'definition' phase.
dEVELOP
The definition phase is followed by the '
development' phase. This is
where everyone takes a long breath and starts typing away - not at
Appfiniti. Although we have a detailed sketch of what the customer
wants in thier project there's still a lot to be discovered. The
development phase is where we implement our software development
life cycle (SDLC) methodology.
This methodology ensures that proper design is carried out before
coding begins. And that all the pieces are integrated after a
thorough Q/A before moving on to the next exciting challenge.
dELIVER
The 'delivery' of a project is the most
exciting phase. Clients realize
their dreams in all its digital splendor and we have another
successful project under the belt. However, there is more to this phase than
one would expect. Projects need to be deployed in the proper manner to
ensure reliable operations, scalability and integration issues need to
be resolved and monitoring systems put in place to ensure maximum
availability. All of these issues are thought of since the 'definition'
phase and now is the time to implement the solutions. As is the case
with the requirements for each project, the delivery needs for
deployment are different. Our experts take all aspects of the
requirements into consideration when deploying a solution.
The future: The projet has supposedly ended and everyone is happy with
the progress. While we (along with our clients) would like to belive
that, this is hardly ever the case. In the fast paced business world
of today and with the ever increasing demands put on our applications,
there is always room for improvement. A proper design and development
process ensures a solid foundation and addresses the most critical
needs.
