On time, on budget ...guaranteed.
ISG Solutions has a long track record of delivering IT systems on time, on budget, and with the desired functionality. The reason we are able to deliver high quality results so consistently is that we follow a six-step methodology for developing and implementing systems:
-
Discovery - We work with you to discover and
document your requirements.We also establish clear responsibilities for
the project team, so that everyone knows what is expected of them. Doing
extensive research at the start of the project helps to ensure that no
surprises emerge later, when they are more costly and time-consuming to
deal with.
-
Design - We translate your requirements into a
detailed design and initial prototype. Having a detailed design
committed to in writing and implemented as a prototype ensures that all
of your requirements are taken into consideration early in the process.
This helps prevent schedule and cost overruns due to unforeseen changes
late in the project.
-
Proof of Concept - The design requirements and
prototype developed in the previous step represent a detailed
proof-of-concept. In this step, those items are tested and refined until
they match your requirements in every way.
-
Implementation & Testing - We transform the
specifications and prototype developed in the previous step into a
full-scale solution, tested and ready for staff training.
-
Training - All staff members who will be using the
system are provided with customized, hand-on training.
-
Go Live - Your staff begins to use your new system
to accomplish their daily tasks. Any outstanding issues are resolved,
and ongoing technical support begins.

Faster, more accurate implementations
ISG Solutions performs your software customization in our application hosting facility. This approach saves time and money:
-
You can monitor the work in progress over the Internet. This enhances your ability to manage the project and make sure that everything is proceeding on schedule.
-
Even when key employees are out of the office, they can log in over the Internet, review work, and give their approval. Delays are reduced, making it easier to meet deadlines.
-
Thanks to the improved ability to collaborate, potential problems are caught and solved faster. You gain confidence that your system will work the way you need it to.
Once the implementation is complete, the system stays in the
hosting facility for a 30-day shakedown period while we ensure that everything is
functioning properly. Then if you are not taking advantage of ISG's application hosting services, your system is moved to your in-house network at your convenience.
