We don’t do anything you don’t need.
Our software development process steps are straightforward and effective. We ask questions, find solutions, and make them work.
Step 1: Pre-Project Consulting
How can we help you?
The first step in our custom software development process is simply listening and asking questions. We learn about your business and your project to understand your needs and determine if Soluntech is the right fit. If we think we can help your organization, we’ll collaborate with you to develop a preliminary proposal.
Step 2: Engagement
Get the paperwork ready
At this stage, we’d like you to understand some important details about our services, such as our project approach, costs, billing, and support. During this second step of our software development process, most of the information is industry standard, but it’s important that both parties know what to expect from each other during our time working together.
Step 3: Discovery
Intelligence gathering and planning
Your project starts long before we write any code. Coding focuses on technologies and languages, but preparing for a software project involves the larger process of understanding your business, how you’ll measure ROI, user needs, potential risks, and future opportunities. We’ll do this collaboratively — through discussion, sketching out workflows, and deciding on solutions.
Step 4: Development
Creating your product
All of our design and development practices are aimed at producing maintainable, extensible, and easy-to-use software. During this fourth step of our software development process, we begin with the most essential features in order to deliver the most value early in the process.
Step 5: Launch and support
The first release: You hire us to build custom software in order to make or save money. Until it’s released, software can’t fulfill either goal. During this stage of the custom software development process, we help you determine the proper hosting, licensing, and distribution mechanism for your system.
In for the long haul: Regardless of whether your business has its own technical staff, we’re available long-term to maintain and extend your application. After these initial software development process steps are over, our team will be available for ongoing assistance. The quality of our work means your maintenance costs will be low.
The easy stuff: All of your software artifacts are stored in a repository. If we ever need to roll back a feature, there’s always a safe, reliable landing point ready.
