You have many ideas for using IT, but when it comes to planning and executing the project... Do you face any of these challenges?

  • I'm not sure or lack confidence if my requirement definitions are correct.

  • It takes too much time and cost to realize the project.

  • There is no one inside the company to consult with about technical solutions.

The introduction and development of new systems involve many uncertainties. Traditional development methods often lead to mismatches.

Challenges of Traditional Development Methods

  • You must define 'what to build' (Requirement Definition) by yourselves at the start.

  • Once development begins, requirements cannot be changed, or additional costs will apply.

  • Success or failure cannot be determined until completion, leading to massive losses if it fails.

  • If the finished product differs from expectations, modifications require additional costs.

  • It takes a long time to realize the project.

  • Continuous version updates and improvements are difficult.

With “Low-Risk Minimum Development,” typical development processes are unnecessary! We take care of everything for you.

Typical Development Process

  • 1. Requirement Definition
  • 2. External Design
  • 3. Internal Design
  • 4. Programming
  • 5. Unit Testing
  • 6. Integration Testing
  • 7. System Testing
  • 8. Acceptance Testing
  • 9. System Release
  • 10. Operation & Maintenance

We proceed with implementation using the Agile Model.

The Agile model is characterized by repeating system implementation and testing, making progress incrementally while making corrections. This minimizes the man-hours required to backtrack even if defects occur mid-way. It also allows for flexible responses to sudden specification changes from the client.
