Phase 6 - Test and maintain the system.

This is a crucial and often greatest cost-savings measure for the client. Problems captured with the system here, are less expensive to resolve than post client sign-off. This testing phase, however, is significantly reduced due to the use of our software development frameworks, which have been thoroughly tested, thereby reducing the number of possible bugs in the developed system. Our frameworks are also regularly being enhanced to take advantage of new concepts in application development. In this phase, depending upon the situation, our programmers, designers, and/or client representatives do testing. The system is first tested with sample data, and eventually, with actual system data. If any problems are discovered here, they are discussed with the client and an action plan is devised to deal with the issues. Our goal is to create low-maintenance systems applications. To do this, our consultants take all steps possible during the design, development and testing phases to ensure that maintenance issues are kept to a minimum. But, no matter how well the system was initially designed, a client may wish to later modify the system due to changes in the company, its business practice, or growth. If changes or enhancements are necessary, our team works with the client to perform these requirements until the system satisfies their needs.

Phase 7 - Deploy and evaluate the system.

This final phase involves implementing the software application, training the users, and evaluating the system. Here, we assist the client with the transition from their old system, (if applicable), to the new one. We also directly train the users, unless the system is sold through a vendor partner, and we evaluate the system through user feedback.
