Software Development

Within an overall IT change management programme, software development may be an important consideration when implementing a target information and technology architecture.  Note that it may be also possible to avoid embarking on an expensive software development exercise as a number of low cost data mashup / integration tools and customisation options now exist.

Where software development is required, agile software development approaches, such as Model Driven Architecture, are increasingly popular as they improve business user understanding, speed up software development lifecycles and enable rapid changes to be made when business requirements change.  In the fast moving world economy, it is no longer acceptable to spend long periods of time on devising business requirements and then even longer periods in developing a solution (which may be out of date by the time it is developed). 

As many applications are now web based (accessing distributed databases and web services data sources), a recent development has been the emergence of 'platform as a service' solutions (from Google, Salesforce and others).  Whilst these platforms may involve proprietary lock in, they may vastly improve software development times at low cost - particularly if another part of the vendors solution is being already used (e.g. for CRM). 

The software development services supplied by MaxTunity are focused entirely on maximizing the technology ROI for our clients.  We are vendor independent, therefore we are not trying to sell you a particular vendor, an expensive software application or a particular technology.  We highlight low cost hosted SaaS and commercial open source software, as well as proprietary software, if they have the potential to radically improve your ROI. The opportunity to exploit the latest emerging technology and revitalize legacy technology with relatively low cost abstraction tools will also be considered as part of the mix.

MaxTunity offer vendor independent IT Consultancy and IT Solutions services as follows;

IT Consultancy
Technology Opportunity Report (TOR) -  low cost, custom research service offered to clients worldwide to identify ROI opportunity.
Technology Opportunity Model (TOM) -  more detailed service to flush out detail and narrow choices to verify ROI opportunity.

IT Solutions

Technology Opportunity Deployment (TOD) - service to identify, negotiate with and manage service providers to realize target ROI.

 

Our services philosophy is to use approaches which do not 're-invent the wheel'.  We recognize that your people are the business domain subject matter experts and most familiar with the problems facing the business. Wherever possible, we will use your existing documentation to fast track the understanding of particular business domains rather than tie up your personnel in time consuming discussions.  Using this cost effective approach a significant amount of work can be re-used, avoiding the traditional consulting approach of using an army of consultants to firstly describe the current situation. 

The combination of your business domain expertise and our knowledge of the significant cross industry technology opportunities creates a partnership which can produce a significant ROI for your organization.  Why spend a large sum on a high risk, long timeframe technology project when there may be a better way?
