Whether striving for a competitive
position, improved communications, better customer service or striving
to reduce cost, enterprises today are faced with one common challenge
- Aligning their information technology to achieve business objectives.
Organizations are forced to be extremely competitive. Out-thinking and
out-running your competition is the order of the day. It is imperative
that organizations, in addition to monitoring critical success factors
for their operations, ride the waves of the Information technology world
to achieve and exceed their goals. Keeping abreast of forever changing
technology cycles is a daunting task and that is where InnerSpace Solutions,
Inc. can help. Our organization is ready to revitalize your systems with
current day computer technology based solutions that best fit your needs.
The different phases of our system/solution design can be broken up into
Assessment, Planning, Architecture development, Implementation, Deployment
and Project Turnover phases.
The Assessment phase
involves interaction with your orgainization interaction so that we understand
the customers business goals, identify with the needs of the end user,
are familiar with the criticality of various sub-systems, agree on time
line expectations for project implementation, and last but not least establishing
a good working relationship with the focal members of the customer team.
The Planning phase
identifies key
technologies and personnel who best fit the project goals. Plans are drafted
to document our understanding of the customer requirements. This is an
important part in our operation and helps secure a clear understanding
of the project for both parties.
The Design phase results
in the selection/development of an application frame work, design approach
and more detailed project schedule. This procedure identifies system user
interaction, software components and subsystems, distribution of those
components, requirements for communications with database systems or remote
processes and applications, component interaction and a system topology
map for the target system. The
project schedule is refined to futher reflect milestones and project phases.
The Implementation &
Integration phase is the
development of identified components, user interfaces and integration to
external or internal systems. As devlopment proceeds components are unit
tested and integration tested for proper operation.
The Deployment phase
involves a very through
system testing. The first step is development of a system checklist. This
checklist includes the validation schemas for overall system functionality,
strategies to create benchmarks, subsystem testing and validation, verification
methods to check operation of data producers and consumers, messaging
and event subsystem checks, validation of data source and sink formats,
and features of Graphical Interfaces that need validation. The system
is thoroughly tested as per the checklist, benchmarks are evaluated, deviations
are marked and adjustments made immediately. Following the offline testing
the system is put online and commissioned for use.
The Turnover phase
involves customer validation and project handoff. InnerSpace firmly
believes that total customer satisfaction during and after the project
is essential for total success. The system is put online either at the client
location or on the world wide web as appropriate.
The relevant system user training is provided to appropriate client personnel.
System user manuals or help
sheets are also developed and provided to the client either in
hard copy or electronic copy as appropriate.
Following successful user acceptance testing and startup, the
project is signed off as complete from the client.
