We Value Our Values

Project Governance
We follow Agile Project Management Approach which helps us to plan, organize, motivate and control resources to achieve your vision for the project effectively and efficiently through iterative and incremental methods of managing the design and build activities with collaboration between self-organizing and cross-functional teams. Agile software development promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, a time-boxed iterative approach and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
Agile development methodology provides us the opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. Each iteration is reviewed by the project team which includes our client as well as our employees. Such an insight gained from the critique of iteration helps us to determine the next step in the project. This also helps us to gain your trust and maintain transparency throughout the process of project completion.
The main benefit of agile project management is its ability to respond and rectify the issues as and when they arise throughout the course of the project hence helping to save resources and help deliver a successful project on time and within budget.
In an agile model, every aspect of development (like design, requirements etc.) is continually revisited throughout the lifecycle. It allows us to change the direction of the project every two weeks after evaluation. Hence, this “inspect-and-adapt” approach of development greatly reduces development costs and time to market.

Work Transparency
We sincerely believe in the honest and open dialogue about the current state of the project. There’s no telling you what you want to hear. No providing misleading or hiding information. You review each step of a project and approve it before the next step is taken. We understand that transparency creates congruent conversations which drive congruent action. We believe that transparency is a key value in agile management as it can improve project performance and productivity. We believe in clear and open communication of business information in teams and to customers, keeping the development process transparent and understandable for all involved parties. Thus, everyone benefits, from those working on the project to those sponsoring the project, to those auditing it.
We are fully committed to you and honesty remains our core value. We acknowledge and manage quality by being willing to “stop the line” if things aren’t’ right and fix them. We let you know the exact project state and look to make healthy adjustments from “where we are” in the project. We are always engaged to look in and react, in real-time to the good and the bad of your project state. We get in the game with you, acknowledge adversity, look it square in the eye and make adjustments and adapt the project forward— guiding the project towards your vision. Transparency leads us away from obfuscation into clarity. It’s all about delivering to our goals. If there is a risk, then how can we deliver the most value becomes our mantra. Short-selling quality is not an option. Working like dogs is not an option. Making scope compromises based on early detection and early, mature, and considered reactions to reality is the only option.

Quality Assurance
The project is thoroughly tested and proofed before it is released. We inspect the work that’s been done to determine if the work results are in alignment with the stated and implied objectives of the project scope. We work diligently to ensure that all of the work is accurate, on-scope, and meets the objectives that you have defined. For us, Quality Management is the continuous monitoring and application of quality processes in all aspects of the project. We understand that businesses cant afford downtime, hence applications are thoroughly checked technically before being placed into production.
We take QA very seriously. We operate QA functions on two levels. One area of QA reviews the application to make sure that it works correctly from a technical standpoint. The other side of QA verifies that the application is easy for users to use. The application is considered “production-ready” if it meets both technical correctness and usability tests.
Unlike other companies who involve QA only after the application is complete and ready to test, we make sure that QA is involved in the application development process since its inception. This helps to design superior elements in the application as QA works closely with technical support and IT helpdesk and knows from their direct experience about the areas of application design that do not work well for end users. QA also has good hand on the technical “weak spots” of systems that application has to interface with. Hence, engaging QA from the beginning of application design process helps them to be ready in advance for receiving the application for testing to ensure that the application is run in scenarios that test for vulnerabilities.
We try our best to provide you applications that are “right the first time” with good quality so that more time of your IT staff could be spent on technical innovations rather than application and systems maintenance.

Seamless Communication
Effective communication to all stakeholders is the most critical success factor in project management. We understand that successful project management communication is about being there for everyone, being in touch with the real challenges of the project, understanding the real issues within the team who deliver the project and understanding the issues of the sponsors for whom the project is to be delivered.
Careful communication planning and setting the right expectations with all the project stakeholders is extremely important. Face to face initial communication within the project team to establish the team dynamics and learning the customer’s expectations are the keys to success when starting a project. For the team to all pull in the desired direction, the team needs to understand what its objectives are and how the team can deliver the benefits expected of the project. One of the best ways we've found of conveying this important level of understanding is to communicate clearly the vision of the end result and describe the route to achieve that vision. The team should be able to visualize the end result.
Communication across the world is now very easy and even more economical than ever before. Materials such as text, images and documents can be sent in seconds anywhere, at any time. Reviews and edits can be done and changes implemented in minutes. We engage in active and passive communication as per the client’s need through face to face meetings, video conferencing, telephonic conference, voice only web conference, webinars, telephone, pod cast, web cast, email etc.
To overcome the language barrier, our employees are fluent in German, French, Spanish and Italian as well.
