Managed and Monitored Software Development

Vendor Selection

Good judgement is the result of experience... Experience is the result of bad judgement. — Fred Brooks
We scrutinize, select and work with a pre-screened network of distributed software development companies. All our vendors have been pre-screened and provide highly competent software development.
Our software developers provide the coding and implementation of our consulting output. In other words, they provide the detailed software design breakdown and implementation of the visualized IT technical solution as per the specifications.

• Our Software Consultants shortlist and select a software developer from our network for implementing the desired product.
• We efficiently and coherently work with the developer in framing an OPTIMIZED quotation for project implementation.
• We focus on on-time delivery, consistent quality, low pricing and prompt communication.
• Our development is strong and sustainable. This means that we focus on the six principles of good software design: Scalability, Maintainability, Performance, Ease-of-Usage, Tested, Security.

In all, clients are saved the hassle and time in finding an expert, professional and an experienced software development company.

Development Quotation Finalization

Our expert integration with developers provides our clients with BETTER AND LOWER pricing DEALS as compared to approaching vendors directly.

We have an expert integration with our developers on grounds of which our clients get the following benefits:

• Lower per hour pricing leading to lower software fees
• Lower and better deals from IT service providers
• Save upto 30-50% on overall software vendor quotations as compared to talking to the vendor directly

Program Management

Program management is an integral part of software development. Most of the successful software applications have had a team of software engineers working closely with program managers for completion.
Program Managers are technical savvy individuals who have a passion for technology and who can think outside the box when it comes to software development.

This task involves the following:

• Framing guidelines and specifications for features that should and should not be present in the application.
• Creating and maintaining a project specifications document.
• Scheduling and conducting regular collaboration and sync up meetings - between clients, promoters and developers.
• Maintaining a constant flow of information, activity and progress back and forth.
• Spending time with development team - resolving deadlocks, pointing to necessary resources.
• Understand the business objective behind the technical product and accordingly suggest functionality.
• Research product use-case and usage scenarios and account for future modifications.
• Study usage reports, analytic metrics and product feedback.

Delivery Management

Atlogys Technical Consulting provides monitoring, supervision and guidance during the entire software development process. We provide the client progress reports on the software development status.

Delivery Management involves:

• Monitoring software implementation - After clients seal the deal with a vendor, Atlogys software consultants make sure that software vendors meet the delivery milestones and provide demos from time to time.
• Resource Management - Allocating the desired number of engineers on the job and monitoring tasks on a daily basis.
• Project lifecycle, timeline and schedule management - Gantt chart distribution of project modules. Using PM tools for project lifecycle management.
• Scope handling and collaboration - Accounting for changes in specifications, requests for feature changes and additional add-ons.
• Bug management, ticketing system
• User Feedback Management
• Interpersonal Communication - Effective stress-free agile communication and constant software development followup.
• Peaceful Mindset - Hassle-free and stress-free consulting so clients may continue to focus on their core competencies.

Quality Assurance and Application Testing

A good software is one which is not just functional, but which is also easy-to-use, scalable, maintainable, secure, fast and well-tested. We perform audits and assessments on software to assure that they scale high on the quality metric front.

As a 3rd party, we work with the development team in providing the following services:

• Conduct application tests - a thorough QA and list bugs
• Conduct tests, Provide fix-it reports to developers on how to make an application secure against client side attacks.
• Conduct tests, provide fix-it reports to developers on how to optimize core application performance like:
  • Optimize Db queries
  • Use faster Data structures.
  • User faster and better algorithms with a faster asymptotic run time analysis.
• Revamp the application production deployment architecture in order to make it more scalable.
• Plan and implement application load balancing and a distributed serving and caching architecture (if required).

Support

Our interaction with the client extends well beyond the final deployment of the application. App maintenance and ongoing support is an integral part of the software lifecycle. We provide the following services:

• Site Maintenance - Cloud or Shared/Dedicated Hosting
• Application Support and Upgrades
• Application Bug fixes
• Feedback Implementation
• Regular site tests and software patches
