Drawing on more than thirty years' experience in the information systems industry, we design, develop and implement solutions that deliver the highest levels of operational effectiveness.

Our Approach

We use a phased approach to Information Technology (IT) projects. Every project is unique; it involves meeting the business goals and requirements of a specific client, each of whom is different.

The idea of the phased approach is to manage uncertainty by breaking the project into logical stages. This affords greater certainty as to the price and schedule at the completion of each phase. A rigorous project discipline goes a long way to avoiding project failures.

  • Each project phase has specific goals and deliverables, and a time frame to avoid it becoming a 'never-ending' project.
  • The deliverables at the completion of each phase provide options to move forward, and you can make decisions about which course of action works best for you.
  • It gives you control over the project, and avoids spending money in large chunks. If the costs for the next phase look larger than expected, or the benefits are less than anticipated, you can stop the project with no further cost, rather than having a contractual obligation to complete a large project which does not deliver a satisfactory result.
  • As an added benefit, you can switch consultants at the end of a phase or put the next phase out to tender, should you wish to do so.

Understanding Your Needs

A thorough understanding of your needs is essential to creating an effective solution.  Explain how you want your various stakeholders -  such as customers, suppliers, partners and staff - to interact with each other and with your business or other organization.

We call this the "discovery" process, and it's the vital first step to designing and building a cost-effective solution for you.

Delivering Your Solution

We summarize your requirements, review them with you and propose the best solution.

Once you have approved, we follow a meticulous project methodology to ensure your we deliver a solution that meets or exceeds your requirements - on-time and on-budget.

Phased Approach

1 Discovery. Define the business requirements, scope, existing system functionality, integration and technology constraints.

2 Analysis & Design. This includes the transformation of business requirements into technical specifications, schedules and budgets.

3 Development.  Usually the major part of the project costs, as we assign a team of programmers and web developers to build the system.

4 Implementation. Delivers the new system, integrates it into your production environment and ensures it is functioning according to specifications.

5 Completion. Project management is handed over to the support and maintenance team
