Approach to Software Development
At Initworks, we provide a solution that genuinely helps you. Thorough knowledge of the impact and expectations is crucial for a successful process.
We aim for sustainability in migrations, operational management and relationships with our forward-looking approach.
Discovery Workshops
We want to create software for the future that genuinely helps your organisation in its development and growth. The first step is brainstorming about future plans and technical possibilities- where do you want to go as an organisation, what do you want to achieve, and how can new software help realise or even exceed your future vision? Creating software is fun, and the possibilities are often greater than expected!
From Concept to Functions, Design and Reality
Conceptual future plans need to be translated into concrete functions. Together, we outline a design for the future applications. What should they be able to do, how do we make them scalable, flexible and future-proof? But above all, how do we give you a real competitive advantage with the new system?
Proposal of Development Objectives, Functional Designs and Practicalities
More elaborate, high-level planning where we create concrete development objectives, functional designs and determine the financing and the intellectual properties of the development work.
Establishing Development Strategy
Once we have agreement on the development objectives and financing, we lock in the development strategy. We often choose to employ microservices, a modern design method that allows for rapid, dynamic and future-proof software to be built. We form the project team. Then we consider the following; what will the development philosophy be? How do we establish essential quality control and guidelines? What tools, technology and platforms do we need?
Developing Software & Platform Engineering
We set up the technology and start building, testing and gradually delivering the software to you. Often iteratively, with agile concepts, regular client contact and frequent software deliveries.
Deployment and Operational Management
An important moment is the launch of the product and the actual deployment of the new application, as well as training users and administrators. With an eye for operational management, systems are dynamic and regularly subject to support requests, service requests and maintenance. Properly setting up operational management tasks is essential for the successful implementation of a long-term future-proof solution.
Further Development and Lifecycle Management
Development does not stop at deployment. There can be new insights and additional features. The system will often be continuously developed. Keeping lifecycle management in mind, obsolescence must be prevented to limit security and disruption risks. Software consists of various components, each with a service lifecycle, and they must be regularly updated or even replaced when a component has reached the end of its life.
