How We Can Help
Requirements gathering is about building a real understanding of our client, their business, their customers and their goals. And we'll use every technique in the book to gain that understanding. We research the market, analyse competitors, interview members of staff, set up workshops, carry out surveys, and even speak directly to users.
Our consultants have to get under the skin of your business, which is where stakeholder workshops prove so valuable. They help us answer questions such as:
- What are the overall business goals?
- How will success be measured?
- Who are your key user groups?
Then it’s on to your users. We love to speak to them directly, learning about their motivations, expectations, devices, usage patterns - anything that will help us understand what they need and want from your digital products and services. We can also review your existing data, to uncover patterns and trends that users themselves may not be aware of.
This information gives us a valuable head start going into the project. We’ll know what needs to be done, and in what order. And you won’t just get the software you want - you’ll get the software you need to achieve your goals.
During a code review we’ll look at every aspect of your code, including:
- How well it adheres to standards and good practices
- How effectively it’s supported
- How easy it is to maintain
- How secure and scalable it is
- How it performs in terms of speed, reliability and security
We’ll then highlight the key facts and figures in a report compiled just for you, that can be used as an initial benchmark against which you can measure progress over time. We’ll also provide clear, practical recommendations for improvement, prioritised so that you can direct your efforts towards where they’ll deliver the greatest possible benefit, as quickly as possible.
Is your development project experiencing time and budget overruns and veering from your initial scope? Or are you just not seeing the results you expect? Our team can help you redress the situation. Experienced in joining projects at any stage, we can take control of developments that are failing whatever the cause - for example lack of discipline, loss of key staff or insufficient expertise - creating a custom program of work that will improve your project’s performance and ensure the highest levels of quality across all deliverables.
Before crafting your ideal software solution, we first make sure we have an in-depth appreciation of your aims and objectives. And we find that, to build up this knowledge, you can’t beat one-on-one conversations. So we’ll interview key members of your team, hold stakeholder workshops and briefing sessions, and even survey your users to find out what they want to achieve from your digital products.
When we’re fully up to speed, our coders, engineers and architects can begin translating your requirements into a useful and usable format. Assessment and review are the watchwords throughout this whole process - we’ll continually test different technologies to validate their effectiveness in meeting your goals. We’ll even build representative, interactive prototypes to determine with absolute certainty that the solution we propose is suitable.
The result? Software designs that you can trust implicitly. That your developers can follow at every stage. And that guarantee you a finished solution more effective, more flexible and more advanced than any off-the-shelf product on the market.
We love to code. As our team has evolved over the past 12 years, as we’ve changed faces and offices, the one constant has been the presence of a robust software development practice.
