Consultancy Services

Any development project needs to be carefully designed and managed if it is going to fulfil its goals, delivered on time & on budget and provide your expected return on investment.

As an experienced development house ourselves we can help you by applying this experience to projects even if we’re not doing the development ourselves.

Requirement Gathering

We’ll ask the right questions, getting to the bottom of what the goals are for your project and produce a definitive list of requirements which can then be used to both get accurate quotations from potential suppliers, provide them with detailed specifications and be used as a checklist to test the completed application against.

Application Design

Core to any application development is the architecture it’s built on.

The design of the database that powers it, the tables and fields it contains needs to be thoroughly thought out before starting to code, without this foundation the application may:

• Be difficult and expensive to expand
• Have performance issues
• Be hard to support
• Lack scalability
• Have security holes

We’ll take your requirements and generate a blueprint for the database built on our years of experience of what works and what really doesn’t!

As well as database design we can also provide wireframe designs of the various screens within the application, designed to be both user friendly and easy to navigate and feature complete.

The wireframe diagrams are great documents to give to developers and designers accelerating both functions and also ensuring the requirements are translated consistently into a full feature application.

Supplier Selection

Although we have the skills and experience to deliver most web based projects (and mobile ones) sometimes our team is too busy and there’s a need to use a third party.

Selecting a developer or designer to work with is hard, the technical discussions that need to take place along with the assessment of their skills and their ability to deliver the project are things that you need a trusted expert to help with.

We’ll help you select the right team to work with, one that has the right attitude, skill-set and track record that will get the project done.

Project Management

Software projects aren’t things you can fire and forget, they need to monitored, steered and often modified as they head towards completion.

We can help keep your development project on track using the same skills and tools we’ve used ourselves to deliver many software projects over the years.

And once the software is complete we can manage the roll-out and go-live process for you ensuring things go smoothly.
