Custom Web Development within the Claromentis Framework
Our extensive experience and the Claromentis framework allows our custom web development team to create business web applications for you with minimum risk, at low cost, extremely rapidly and on budget.
Instant Benefit of Custom Business Web Applications
The framework instantly provides an enormous amount of functionality that all business software applications need - such as user management, permissions, interfaces, localization, active directory integration and comprehensive administration panels. We also integrate existing information or process management applications where these can contribute to your requirements. This allows us to create very powerful business web applications to meet your individual needs incredibly rapidly.
Approach
With many years of experience of developing custom web applications and social web applications around the world, we use a proven process that removes all possibility of confusion and gives you and your colleagues confidence in every step of the project.
Our ISO 9001 controlled custom web development process takes the following steps:
- Exploratory discussions
- Initial meetings to whiteboard and discuss the requirements
- A proposal on the prototype phase and estimate of total project costs
- A 3-iteration prototype phase to incorporate your continuous feedback
- Sign off of the prototype and provision of a fixed cost final pricing for the project
- Design, development, and testing
- Client Review
- Deployment
At any time, the customer can simply stop the custom web development project, or authorize the next step – keeping costs, expectations and risks completely under control.
The initial meetings provide access to business consultants and information architects to debate your idea in a friendly, open and consultative atmosphere and to review the possible solutions and implications. At the end of these free meetings we will all understand the business goals and the approach to developing business software applications, and the cost of an initial prototype will be finalized. With our extensive experience we will even be able to provide a general estimate for the total bespoke software project, before any commitment is made.
Prototyping
The prototype phase turns these ideas into a clickable software model for your review from anywhere in the world - using agile methodologies the team is able to react to your feedback and rapidly change the software to converge on your requirements. For many customers this is an immensely helpful and rewarding process, as we are able to help take initial ideas about business software applications, mature them into detailed interfaces, and illustrate how the system will behave for different roles of users and administrators.
The prototype phase for bespoke software has three main purposes:
- To validate the idea in our customer’s mind and educate Claromentis staff on the business requirements
- To provide detail so that costs are defined and we can develop on a fixed budget basis
- To provide the actual specifications for design and development
Once the prototype is confirmed it forms the actual specifications for the custom web development team. Client reviews allow you to monitor the social web applications or business applications project as the code and interface are produced, and once again, confirms that everything is proceeding to your complete satisfaction.
Next Step
Our custom web development process is very enjoyable for all our customers – we contribute significant experience to the early discussion phases, our interfaces are extremely well designed and useable, and significant business software applications are obtained while controlling costs and minimizing risks.
