"Well, here’s the truth that no one wanted to tell you: The world has been flattened. As a result of the triple convergence, global collaboration and competition – between individuals and individuals, companies and individuals, companies and companies, and companies and customers – have been made cheaper, easier, more friction-free, and more productive for more people from more corners of the earth than at any time in the history of the world."
- Thomas Friedman, The World is Flat
So, how do we actually go about building the application you want? The short answer is this: We use the best of breed technologies, Lotus expertise, Software Development processes and project management principles. The specifics of how we would go about building YOUR app will depend on many things including:
- Extent to which the application is defined
- Availability of technical/project management skills within your organization
- Availability of Lotus Notes skills within your organization
- The nature and complexity of the application to be developed
Depending on these variables, we need to take decisions on who needs to be involved, what you (the customer) would do and what we (the consulting company) would do etc. We need to take decisions on the exact process/software life cycle to be used. A generic lifecycle is presented below, and we would tweak this to your situation and project.
Broadly we see the following steps in engaging with you:
- Pre-Engagement:
- Understanding of your business situation and organizational profile
- Communication of our organizational profile and specific technical/process capabilities to you
- Defining at a broad level the nature of engagement - responsibilities, commercial model, pilot projects to be executed etc.
- Engagement:
- Understanding your requirements and documenting them in sufficient detail
- Deliver the solution as per the mutually agreed plan
- Validate that the solution meets your requirement
- Post-Engagement:
- Review of the success of the engagement, with reference to your business goals
- Ongoing maintenance arrangements, if any
