Sound architectural foundations are key to the software industrialization process. By making good use and bundling leading J2EE open source frameworks together, repetitive time-consuming and error-prone application plumbing efforts can be automated and harmonized.

If you than leverage this open and standards-based architecture by adding ready-to-use application patterns, the focus shifts to programming the business logic. This dramatically reduces the amount of custom code to be produced.

Add code generation techniques (MDA ...) to your development process and even large parts of your custom code can be generated in function of your business model. We need to move from documentation to automation and use frameworks, tools and mechanisms to automate the software development process.

We do not believe in the conventional waterfall methodology, where a project starts off with a heavy analysis phase followed by the complete development phase. For IT projects the finishing point is naturally evolving and difficult to predict at the initial stage of a project.

Far better results are obtained by adopting an agile and collaborative methodology to perfectly anticipate and accommodate changes in priorities and scope throughout the course of a project.

We prefer a perfectly functional application to comprehensive documentation.

Poor communication and coordination leads to reduced control and therefore higher project risks. By connecting tools and processes with a collaborative development environment you can provide the visibility and project insight that your extended teams need.

Providing web-accessible centralized collaborative tools to your teams translates into transparency, continuous feedback and interaction, higher control and risk mitigation.

In conjunction with an agile development methodology, continuous integration processes are a must. This automatic build of the latest code base is deployed on the development server and ensures that all of the produced functionalities work at any time throughout the development process.

With continuous integration processes unexpected surprises and having to redevelop specific functionalities can be avoided which results into fewer bugs, higher developer satisfaction, faster delivery and better project results.

Truly agile organizations outsource business functions and processes characterized by expertise that is not inherent to the core or competitive advantage of their organization. Outsourcing and especially offshoring IT projects to achieve operational efficiencies however requires controlling the entire process, from design to integration.

To mitigate the risks that are inherent to offshoring, ideally you need a neutral and experienced partner with an on- and offshore presence to oversee and coordinate your project.
