Initiation, Analysis, and Design
Project success with IDMWORKS begins right out of the gate. We work with our clients to develop documents relevant to project startup and lay the foundation for a rewarding collaboration from the beginning.
During the analysis phase, our experts work closely with your subject matter experts so we can understand the typically overlooked details. During this phase, we facilitate requirements sessions and JAD sessions with customers. Once we complete our analysis, we move on to the next phase crucial to a successful project: a solid design. With our years of experience and in-house industry experts, we craft a rock-solid project design that you can depend on for years to come because we know that the best ideas are useless unless they stand up to the test of time.
Test, Training, and Rollout
Testing by our technical teams is a critical success factor for each project. The test cases link back to your requirements so we are sure that the features you want are being delivered and that black box testing techniques are incorporated.
At this stage, our best-in-the-business experience testers assess cases and test each of our prototypes, documenting expected versus actual result throughout before we move on to training.
Training is a critical component of all projects. It teaches our customers the skills and techniques required to manage the new application so long-term project maintenance can be managed by their internal teams. This is how our customers learn to own their projects.
On each of our projects, we develop at least two types of training curriculums. The first is for System Administrators/Technical Administrators and the second is for end users.
Once complete, we move on to the next phase: user acceptance testing, which allows end populations — in other words, the users the project will impact the most — early access to the “almost final” product. Their input helps put the finishing touches on the final product making it as user friendly as possible.
Once the project has been signed off on, the changes are promoted to a production environment, tested by technical and business users, and rolled out into production so it is ready for full use.
