Custom Application
We provide expertise in custom software/application development. Combined, the team has over 3 decades of professional experience providing IT solutions for business using mobile platform, web, desktop, cloud, embedded technologies (PHP, XML, .NET Framework (ASP.NET, Visual Studio…) Python, Java, SQL, HTML, SharePoint, WordPress, Joomla, etc.). Our design practices follow the industry Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), and agile project management methodology.
Our Software Development Life Cycle:
Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is our first step in any application development. We analyze the possibilities of successfully completing the project by factoring the technologies, scope, budget, scheduling and other constraints. Our goal is to identify or emphasis risk and issues which could significant impact on the project. We also help focus the scope on the business objective of whom, how, where the service or product is intended.
Why are feasibility studies so important?
- List in detail all the functions, business cases, technologies you need to make the application work
- Identify technical, logistical and other business-related problems and solutions
- Develop strategies for resolving identified risk or issues
- Serve as a solid foundation for developing the application
Prototyping & Design
The old adage, “a picture speaks a thousand words” captures what prototyping is all about to us: We use visuals to describe thousands of words’ worth of design and development specifications that detail how a system should behave and look. We believe that a good user experience is the result of countless hours of efforts spent in the product development process, from conceptualization to the final delivery. It involves designing and redesigning your product or app based on a series of exhaustive user testing sessions hosted in our cloud test environment. We use rapid prototyping to breathe life into any design and provide a great deal of insight into the user interaction. This process allows us to quickly mock up the future state of a system, be it a website or application, and validate it with a business owner, broader team of users, stakeholders, developers and designers. During this rapid and iterative process, we generate feedback early in the process, thereby improving the final design, preventing scope creep (additional project cost) and reducing the need for changes during development. Our rapid prototype process is not intended to evolve into fully functional solutions, but is meant to help users visualize and craft the user experience of the final product. We focus on the 20% of the functionality that will be used 80% of the time
Development
Our developers use our in-house flexible development processes to generate tailored solution for projects. Our development process aim to:
- Track what actually workings of the application
- Identify improvements that must be made to make the application perform more effectively or efficiently.
- Identify how the application should or could performed.
- Establish rules, guidelines, and behavior patterns for the application that would lead to desired performance measures.
- Connect the system processes to the requirements and business cases
- Evaluate the several possible courses of actions
Optimization
Some applications based on their requirements need an architectural solution consisting of a set of tools and techniques that must work together to improve the reliability, performance, and delivery of applications securely across your network; hence the term Application Optimization. If your application is composed of variety of technologies we work to bolster the applications availability, accessibility, security, and overall performance both locally and around the world.
A number of techniques that are implemented to amplify functionalities include:
- Monitoring of bandwidth capacity
- Application protocols
- Overall network traffic
- Application coding
- Network latency
- Preventing potential attacks of software vulnerabilities and more.
Customization & Deployment
Deployment is customized according to specific requirements or characteristics of each customer’s application. A brief description of each activity during this process are as follows:
- Release - Prepping system for assembly and transfer to the customer site.
- Activation - Starting up the executable component of application.
- Deactivation - Shutting down any executing components of the test environment.
- Adapt and Update – Modifying the application for the life environment and installing software updates or releases.
- Version – Tracking the updates and performing regular backups.
Support & Maintenance
Our application support and maintenance is aimed towards bug-fixing (implemented only when there is a need for some sort of remedial action) and product enhancements. They are classified under the following categories:
- Product Enhancement - It includes adding new functionalities and features (e.g. reports, and modules)
- Correction -It includes the whole host of work done to troubleshoot and fix the bugs that were discovered either by the users or identified via error reporting.
- Adaptation - This is to keep the software relevant with industry changes and trends
- Perfection - It is the maintenance done keeping in mind the long-term goals.
- Prevention - Ensuring that bugs and glitch do not corrupt or cause any future damages
