Together with your employees, we provide requirements analysis, data design, program design, project management, program development, training and documentation. Life Cycle Management Services offered by Custom Data Solutions include:
DesignFrom where you are to where you want to be, Custom Data Solutions initiates a software project by working with clients to model both what their processes and workflows are now, and what they need to be once a database management (DBMS) solution has been developed. In the design phase we use guided interviews with key personnel and study current paper flows to analyze the relationships between activities, looking at how information flows from one office to the next, from one person to others then prepares a detailed requirements analysis for the DBMS. This analysis is the guide for the final design, and contains all necessary elements, activities and relationships. Hardware and networking requirements are also established during design, so that our client has a clear understanding of all the resources that will ultimately be required for a working system.
DevelopmentIn creating a custom DBMS solution, we use the rapid prototype development process to build software in carefully-determined stages. Each stage is reviewed with the client to ensure that work stays on schedule and allows the client to monitor progress and make last-minute changes as the package takes shape. In this iterative process, we rely on the tools available in Visual Foxpro, as well as other third-party tools, for fast user interface development. Before releasing the completed software, our QA testing completely exercises the new database, ensuring that all functions work as designed. Then, complex "what-if" scenarios are prepared to test for potentially troublesome combinations of events. The result is a DBMS that is intuitive, friendly, logical, and well-suited to solve specific problems.
DocumentationCustom Data Solutions is expert at both printed and on-line documentation. Because our goal is functional, friendly and intuitive software, our staff makes sure that the documentation is easy to access, understandable, and accurate.
MaintenanceAfter a software project has been completed and delivered, Custom Data Solutions offers continuing support services. Complete helpdesk capabilities, including hotline telephone support and troubleshooting, are provided by technical experts. In addition, we track the problems encountered by users and makes this information available to the programming team charged with improving the software. This team models enhancements in a new design phase, beginning the life cycle management process for a new version of the software.
