There's a lot riding on a software project. You need to know that the software will be delivered on schedule. You also want to know that it will meet your business requirements. That it will be easy to use, rock solid and scalable.

That's where we come in. We have successfully delivered a wide range of large mission-critical applications, for some very exacting clients, on time, on budget and on specification.

Projects like:

 •  a 42-site web portal network, with a common user registration system that they said couldn't be done

 •  a rich media e-learning product that spans a ten CD-ROM set, one of the largest ever developed

 •  a leading edge interactive financial application with a project team spanning 4 continents

 •  the upgrade and transfer of a million-hits-a-day network of websites, across the globe and back, without loss of service.

And yes, all to schedule and budget.

information architecture expertise

For the user, the measure of a successful web site or software application is the speed and ease of completing the task. Whether it be carrying out a business process, making an on-line transaction or simply finding information.

So the quality of the information architecture and user interface design is paramount - well thought out and scalable structure, clear and simple navigation, with a minimum of steps and clutter.

Our experience designing a broad range of consumer and business applications has taught us what works and what doesn't. We apply those years of real world experience to your project.

proven methodology

Good project management methodology encompasses known key principles:

 •  Phased Approach
 •  Planning and Controls
 •  Risk Management
 •  Quality Management.

However even with the best laid plans, issues can arise. The success of a project often relies on experience that provides the critical ability to foresee and resolve most issues, roadblocks and distractions before they can impact the project.

In over 20 years of successful software project delivery, we have honed a proven methodology of planning, coordination, measurement and control procedures to keep our projects on track.
