We can offer you
some of the lowest prices in the industry because our developers are
enthusiastic to work independently at a lower rate. Intact has
refined a process of working with remote teams with positive
results.
Because we work from many locations, we keep detailed system requirements
and code documentation. We require
procedures and provide tools to ensure detailed communication amongst
developers, business experts, project managers, and project owner.
We are constantly refining our standard, best-practices guide for
developers, which keeps the code consistent and productivity high.
This guide is also part of your system documentation, so when future
developers work with the code, they will know precisely how it was
built.
Our software is developed in iterations,
usually lasting 2 weeks, which means that after we determine the general
design of a module, we start planning for the next 2 weeks of functionality.
At the end of the iteration, the work is wrapped up and made ready
for production use. At first this may only be a single screen, but
as time goes on, your system grows by incremental steps, always
a complete, production-ready system. If the project is halted, for
example, you aren't left with a half-baked system; rather, you will
have all the functionality requested up to that point, ready for
production use.
After the iteration, we meet with you to determine the functionality
for the next iteration. Often times, priorities change or previously
unseen requirements become apparent. This allows you to "steer"
the project as you see fit. And with constant reevaluation, nothing
can get off track, an inevitable risk when you plan too much detail
up-front.
