To answer this, let's look into why software projects fail in the first place.

Why Projects Fail? Because they lack the following:

Cost Control

There is a tendency to hire big-name consulting firms to execute projects, with the hope that they will deliver high-quality results. Most of these companies charge exorbitant prices and cost your project much more than what it should. Unfortunately, high price rarely translates to high quality. Sometimes you will notice that these companies initially come in with a team of highly skilled professionals, but once the deal is signed, they are moved to other client sites, and replaced by fresh graduates who are looking to get on the job training at your cost. Your project suffers, quality goes down, deadlines are missed, cost goes up and you end-up missing your business goals.

We feel that is just plain dishonest. We provide seasoned software professionals at a very competitive price. We stand behind each of our team members in terms of their skill level as well as their dedication. As we execute projects, we constantly monitor quality and timelines so that there are no last minute surprises.

Understanding Business Needs

Surprisingly, one of main reasons for failure of software projects is a non-technical one. Biggest problem is the communication gap or disconnect between the business-users and the IT. Business users have no interest in learning software programming, and rightly so. But the IT cannot afford to look at business needs only from a technical perspective. IT is the means, not the end. IT must understand the business use case and develop a solution that helps a company achieve its business goals. Another challenge is managing business requirements and feeding them into the solution development process in a way where one does not pull the other down. For both these issues, you need professionals who have the maturity and strong communications to understand the business needs, as well as the skills to feed them to the technical team in a planned, constructive manner.

We provide highly skilled Business Analysts and Project Managers who can understand your business needs and articulate them for convenient consumption by IT. They are proficient in documenting the requirements, which helps not just in the development process, but in future maintenance too. They are the conduit between business and IT, and prevent functionality gaps. The project managers keep the various teams in synch and monitor milestones

Emphasis on robust design and correct tools

At the same time, you need a technical team that knows what it is doing, is capable of picking the right tools for the problem at hand and come up with a robust design. To be able to choose the right tool, one needs to be versatile and have enough experience to know beforehand, what would work and what would not. Sometimes, that just means keeping the stuff simple; not over-engineer it. Just like brevity is the soul of wit, simplicity is the soul of a design. Architects should choose the tools that best suit a scenario, and not go by their personal likes and dislikes. A good design should address not just the functional requirements, but also cater to the non-functional aspects like performance, SLAs, etc.

We provide highly technical Software Architects who have been around in the industry for years. Some of us have worked for over 20 years in this field, and contributed to highly successful software products that are being used worldwide. They can quickly understand your business requirements, pick the right tools and come up with optimum solutions. Their leadership inspires the development team to put their best efforts and finish the project with high quality, on time and without overrunning the budget.

A strong development team

With so many new technologies coming up every day, the developers must have strong fundamentals in computer science in order to take on new challenges. What are needed, are not just developers who are strong in a particular tool or technique, but who are of high caliber and understand how various tools work. Those who don't just concentrate on implementing the given functionality, and writing a solution that works today, but those who follow the best practices, write simple, well documented and unit-tested code. When that happens, high quality software that is less prone to bugs and easy to maintain is a natural consequence.

We pick only the best Software Developers to join our team, who have good education in software engineering, strong experience in the field and pass our rigorous interview process. These are not rookies looking for on the job training, but developers with a proven track record.

Proper testing and quality assurance

Cost of fixing a bug in design or code increases exponentially with the progression of development process. Our Architects and developers put sufficient checks in the process to catch issues early on. We also provide highly skilled Quality Assurance Engineers who employ various tools to automate the testing of finished products. This results in good quality products, shorter test-cycles and smaller costs to production, for initial as well as subsequent releases.

Self-sufficiency

Sometimes a project becomes hostage to knowledge being concentrated in a few hands. It's even worse, when those assets are external to the company. We consider making you self sufficient as one of our top priorities. As we execute projects with your in-house teams, we make a conscious effort to help your team become self-sufficient. Towards that end, we share our skills and knowledge with our host team, mentor them, generate project artifacts and do the hand holding until they are comfortable on their own.

In the few years of our existence, we have been able to successfully execute complex projects with very high-end and demanding clients. We are very proud of the accolades we have won. We hope you will give us a chance to meet you, and demonstrate how we can be the Catalysts for your Success.
