Software and IT Services

Software Development Services:

Systems analysis: Determine requirements for software and systems. Create fully documented specifications of requirements. Include data conversion, administration, security, fault tolerance, availability and backups in the requirements.
Systems Design: Determine the best way to create the software and systems to meet the documented requirements.
Software & Systems Development: Create the software required to the design specified. Configure hardware and software to match the design. Create the administration procedures.
Testing and Review: Test the software to meet the design specification. Review the software with the end users to ensure that the software meets the needs of the users. Repeat the analysis, design, development and testing processes until the end users are confident the system will meet their needs.
Document: Provide detailed documentation on how to use the system as required by the user. Document the administration procedures required for system and user maintenance.
Implementation: Convert data required by the user.

Fees:

Fees can be based on time and materials for the entire project, or they can be fixed bid after the systems analysis phase is complete. The fees associated with the systems analysis are due when the requirements are complete.
If changes are determined to be needed in the testing and review phase, the process of making changes to the requirements will be performed on a time and materials basis. The fixed bid for the project will then be adjusted to reflect those changes.
Payment is due on fixed bid projects when a phase/deliverable is complete. On large projects, payment is due on schedules defined in the bid.
Optionally and for smaller projects, a time and materials fee structure can be selected by the customer. When this is selected, payments are due when either the project is complete, or when 1 week of service has been performed whichever comes first.
