analysis

Building on the learning from initial discussion, we’ll further clarify the requirement with a formal scoping study, involving you and the end-user. We’ll look at suitable technologies that are available; we’ll also look at what technologies are just around the corner in this ever-changing industry. We’ll provide a series of options illustrating the benefits and disadvantages of each option.

It’s very common that “the best” solution is also the most costly and possibly out of reach in the short term. We’ll discuss with you where you’d like to be and in what timescale. What we won’t do is recommend a solution which might preclude you from taking the project to the next stage at some future point.

design

During this phase we’ll prepare a set of documentation formally describing the project in detail. If appropriate, we may also provide prototype solutions so that everyone understands what it is we’re delivering, how it will fit into your business process and the costs involved.

It’s a proven fact that providing a sound, well thought through specification at this stage can save significant time in the future.

development

Hilltops IT is trained in the use of modern technologies and programming tools as well as having a firm foundation of experience in accepted development methodologies.

Using “virtual” server and PC technology, we are able to replicate your working environment while in the development phase. In doing so, we will try to identify and pre-empt environmental issues before the software in installed.

We’ll try to involve you in the development process as much as possible, identifying opportunities in the development schedule for you to see how the software is progressing. We find this a great way to identify any changes in your business or thinking from the Analysis / Design phases so that when the software gets to the production environment it is exactly what you need.

If possible, we’ll identify points to deliver into the production environment. This has the advantage of your users getting in front of the software and providing valuable feedback.
