Development & Methodology
The strength of our methodology is the speed and accuracy with which we deliver. To speed development, steps are often overlapped to continuously hone requirements, design and code. Our methodology includes storyboards, rapid application development (RAD), architectural blueprints, vertical RAD and project management/quality assurance.
The Human-Computer Interface
The ultimate success of any system developed is in majority dependent upon both the underlying business process design and the actual human-computer interface the users must utilize. If the application isn’t user-friendly, your users won’t use it. We extensively plan, implement and test systems to support your users’ needs. Human interface factors are given high priority, and the latest ergonomic designs are incorporated into all systems we engineer.
