Our development methodologies are customized and curtailed based on the Project size, complexity, cost and schedule. We have felt that a key factor that weighs the development methodology selection heavily towards iterative development over traditional approaches is “Requirements Management”-
If the answer to both these questions is “Yes”, using an iterative methodology with any of its variants, such as RUP, Agile, and Prototyping etc is the best option.
Here is chart that shows decision criteria for choosing the right methodology for our clients.

Traditional approach to application development. Project is divided into multiple phases corresponding to Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment and Support. Entry and exit criteria for each phase are predefined, tightly controlled, and progress is linear. We have observed that this approach usually works well when Requirements are stable, technologies are well-understood, quality overrides cost and schedule and team is comparatively large.
RUP is a full-lifecycle commercial methodology aimed at improving the effectiveness of application development. It provides a concise and manageable development approach to achieving client goals. It clearly defines the separation of traditional phases such as requirements gathering, design, development, and implementation into a logical, simple, and repeatable process.
RUP is a customizable and scalable development methodology that stresses iterative and controlled development.
The fundamental principles of this approach are to quickly develop small portions of an overall solution and through multiple iterations build upon the delivered functionality. This approach allows an overall architecture to be implemented in manageable pieces and reduces overall risk.
Agile methods like Scrum provide multiple benefits over traditional and Iterative approaches such as Incremental development, high adaptability, adaptive planning, active customer participation, regular demonstration of working software, empowered and team effort and collaboration.
While offering specific challenges such as Scaling to large projects is a challenge, limited roes, lack of reliable estimation model, high level planning, agile methods being weak on devising test strategy/methodology, acceleration within Sprints is expert driven rather than standardized post a greater challenge.
To comprehend this we would just like to emphasize that- We follow a flexible, proven methodology to ensure our deliverables perform to specifications and exceed client expectations. We have a history of efficiently servicing clients of different size and nature, and delivering advanced innovative solutions that do work.
Below are some of the services in the area of Software development-
We develop and integrate a wide range of customized business solutions for our clients worldwide. We have outstanding experience in custom software development ranging from Client-Server, Database-driven, Distributed application, component development and bespoke solutions.
In today’s market client server technology provides you with a platform of becoming global. Your needs of exchange information seamlessly and at a faster pace are satisfied. It also offers you an opportunity to keep-up with the emerging technologies and easy assimilation. We can help you achieve this and much more.
We can help you develop applications ranging from low to high-volume data warehouse applications. We can design data collection systems that can meet your requirements ranging from case management to statistical analysis and outcome evaluation of the data.
In today’s market Distributed applications are being widely used in many verticals like Telecom, Banking, Airlines, to name a few, because of the unmatched flexibility and efficiency it has on offer to perform various tasks with great agility. However at the same time it is a daunting task to manage this & thus should be handled by an expert and there is where we can help you manage your systems and related development.
