Methodology Cornerstones |
The Ingenia Process™ is a user-centric, rapid application development methodology that leverages the prototyping capability and development speed of the Ingeniasoft suite of software tools. The system is prototyped into a 'shell' and with continuous client feedback, the shell evolves to include all the necessary features/functionality required of the completed system.
The advantages of this process are obvious. Our 'evolutionary prototyping' approach displays tangible progress to project stakeholders as they can literally see the application being developed. Continuous user involvement ensures the development effort remains focused and the delivered system meets user specifications.

Understanding your business vision and success metrics |
This ensures that we're building the right solution and can demonstrate real returns with each delivery.
|
Use cases representing the cross-system workflow for users of your system.
|
This horizontal view (rather than the classic vertical view of subsystems) frequently highlights business process improvements that can provide additional returns.
|
Prioritization against returns
|
"Which use cases should be implemented first?" We prioritize use cases against your business success metrics, ensuring that the highest return, most important features of your system are put into production first. Should business conditions change, you are always running with your highest priority solutions. No other approach provide so much control over what gets implemented when.
|
Incremental Delivery
|
Waiting up to a year for any return on your investment is too risky in today's dynamic business environment. Product releases every few weeks or months ensures that the risk/reward equation stays in balance.
|
User and business feedback
|
We know that it is much easier to provide feedback than specification, and that getting a specification exactly right the first time, particularly for systems implementing novel business processes, is not always realistic. We iterate to the right solution via your feedback, which ensures user buy-in and rapid adoption of new functionality.
|
Embedded quality
|
No code is written without test cases that demonstrate the functionality, scalability, and performance required for production. Our automated build and test environments ensure that defects and production problems are found at the earliest point in development, not at the end of the effort where costs to correct are tremendously higher.
|
Project management planning
|
Ingeniasoft team members adopt a no-excuse, no surprise management philosophy in the solution delivery process, with full support for Ingeniasoft product installation, customization, system integration, application hosting, and knowledge transfer.
|
Partnership for customer success
|
We're only successful when you say we are.
