How We Can Help

We can help in many ways when it comes to IT projects development, such as outsourcing the software development or assisting you in the build of your cutting-edge core business support system.
But, more importantly, we can help you by doing all this through a pragmatic approach.

Common Mistakes

In the traditional software projects methodology, the functional team gathered the requirements, the development team implemented them, the user team tested it and finally, after time and money has been spent, the management team was informed that there was a gap between the business needs and the product delivered.

More times then not, the project misses its dead-line and it has to be adjusted. Some times, it has to be adjusted regularly. This usually means that the project goes back to the functional team and a new iteration starts, increasing the project cost.

Pragmatism Explained

A pragmatic approach in software projects aims to deliver the functionalities that the business needs without spending additional and unnecessary time and money. No matter the type of software, if it is done pragmatically, your organization will end up with exactly what it needs without additional costs.

How is this done?
By applying advanced software development methods that

  • allow a tight project development control;
  • are designed for short production releases;
  • aim functional adjustments during its development cycles;
  • support hard functional shifts with minimum impact;
  • quickly identify gaps between the business needs and delivered functionalities;
  • allow functionalities to evolve as needed.

 

Described in a simple way, we work closely with the end users. The end users make theirs business requests and we implement the functionalities. What we deliver, they criticize in a positive, and the functionalities are adjusted accordingly. By delivering new versions quickly to the end users, we have fast iteration loops that create a tight bound between the users and the software which, in turn, eliminate gaps between business needs and software functionalities.
