Customized Business Applications
Often there are situations where off-the-shelf solution does not facilitate the automation of the business processes at corporate environments. This specifically demands the need of custom built software solutions to meet the specific requirements of the business. When such situations arise, the design and development of customized solutions can be done in two different ways according to the business and budget requirements. One way is to build a core framework at the initial stage and adding modules one by one as additions over time. This is well suited for those organizations who need a step-by-step migration to the automated system. An alternative approach is to build the complete application with all the required modules integrated at the initial delivery itself. SBL follows this tailor-made solution which provides the exact process flow of the existing system and it helps the users to get acquainted with the system in a short span of time. The advantages of customized business solution also include the ease of incorporating new modules and functions in a later stage.
SBL follows well-defined steps for the processes involved in the
complete lifecycle of the customized business solutions. At the
Envisioning stage, feasibility analysis and requirement elicitation will
be carried out. All the various tasks required for the project plan,
business modeling and system design will be done followed by design and
plan phase. The actual development of the required applications to
in accordance with the client requirements comes as the next step. Both the Design & Development phases have an iterative nature to incorporate the change in requirements which is an unavoidable factor in every business. The continuous system integration & QA activities happen in these two phases. The application delivery consists of the deployment to staging system,
User Acceptance Testing and Training to the users of the system. The
right maintenance and support given for the solution helps the users to get
along with the system without compromising on their business needs.
