We actively work along two parallel lines of IT development. First is directly with our client business, developing custom data and information solutions for their business or organisational needs.
The other is research and development projects that we develop in-house to address specific business needs that we believe are either lacking in the market or are not tailored to New Zealand's operational environment or finding new and innovative applications for technologies that can further enhance the automation of business process.
When working with clients we operate from a strategic viewpoint, using a four step process:
Discovery
Through consultation a thorough analysis of your business needs, processes and data requirements is conducted including current technology deployment and future growth strategies of your business.
Diagnosis
With this information a complete analysis of your current technology infrastructure is conducted. Your companies’ communication, data requirements, business model and a number of other key strategic factors are overlaid on the discovery analysis to determine gaps, duplication of data or repetitive input of data from one system to another.
Design & Test
Armed with this diagnostic information we determine the best mix of visual design and information visualisation to support the data processing engine of your application (software) based on the current and future growth needs of your business.
This phase includes continued testing and analysis to ensure a solution that is easy to use without compromising power, performance or security. A test panel including client business users is an important part of this process to insure we remain true to the intended purpose of the application and deliver data visualisation and input parameters in a user friendly format.
Delivery
The final step is deploying the application to the client’s server using a phased approach. First the application is deployed to a test server were load testing and analysis is completed to make absolutely sure no unforeseen compatibility or load issues exist. Client data is then migrated into the application for live testing by the client test panel. Once the application has been put through it’s paces and thoroughly tested it is deployed to the clients main server ready for launch and business wide deployment. While this process is under way staff training is completed in the use of the application by the clients own resident experts.
