Our analysts work in close collaboration with clients in order to define a realistic development plan based on project's complexity, proposed timelines, and planned budget. | This model can be adopted at any phase of the project such as post-specification, pre-specification, post-architectural design, etc. and can involve problem definition, solution definition, research, business analysis, specifications, visual mapping, architectural design, documentation, coding, change management, testing, rollout and maintenance & support. | The model is initiated with the identification of client's requirements in terms of project volume, complexity, technology and infrastructure, which is followed by SLA (Service Level Agreements) in order to ascertain team composition as well as working methodology.
