Our Process
We follow a simple step by step process to deliver your
software solutions
01
Detailed Discovery
The discovery phase is the foundation for the development of your software solution. It is the initial research stage where we take a deep dive into the problems you want to solve, and the needs, wants and desires of your target audience/end users.
This is where we clarify your project vision and goals, and identify any potential risks to ensure the optimum results are achieved for your end users. A thorough discovery phase is always completed before kicking off software project development.
02
Scope of Work Creation
The software development scope of work clearly defines the functionality and features that are to be agreed for inclusion in the project. In addition, this scope defines what the final product delivery will and will not include. Finally, your scope of work lists all criteria to make your project successful and clearly outlines how you’ll achieve this.
03
Assistance With Grant Funding
Our digital growth consultants can help you identify, source and apply for any relevant grant aid funding to support the development of your software. There are a number of grant aid opportunities currently available in Ireland and the UK to support software development. Speak to our experts today to find out if your plans are eligible for software development grant support.
04
Business Analysis
Our experts fully analyse your organisation’s relevant needs, the processes it currently uses, and the systems it employs. This information is then used to outline the business requirements needed to align a software business model to the work-in-progress software.
05
Development Stage
This is when our development experts convert product specifications and business requirements into code to shape the final product. In this stage, teams create software solutions based on design decisions. Finally, this stage is where teams implement the solution to meet the goals and objectives set by the software requirements gathering phase.
06
Testing and Deployment
Testing and quality assurance are built into our process right from the beginning. This step ensures that the software works properly and does what it was intended to do, as expected. The final stage of the software development cycle is the deployment phase. This allows the client to receive the final product in a production environment. As a result, the turnkey product is now ready for customers to use once deployed.
07
Aftercare and Evolution
Once live, our team will provide training and support to help you make the most of your new software and ensure you can assist end users with any queries. As with any software, it should evolve as your needs do and we are here to help with any improvements such as adding or removing features or functionalities to meet your needs.
Our Approach
Our agile development process allows us to effectively manage performance methodically, measure change control, mitigate against risks and resolve potential issues quickly. Being agile means working in a lightweight, highly responsive, and collaborative manner with our clients.
