PROJECT OVERVIEW
.......................................................................................................................................

Kaleida’s approach is tried and tested to avoid the typical pitfalls of bespoke software development. Our quality assurance processes ensure that projects are meticulously specified and delivered on time and to budget.

Consultation
Kaleida offer a free, no obligation consultation. An informal meeting in the first place, our main focus is to establish which solution would best suit a client’s requirements. We achieve this by listening closely to ideas and issues before introducing the range of solutions available.

Overview
Following the initial consultation, we draft a design document outlining the proposed solution and its delivery. We also provide an estimate, project timescale and suggested commencement date.

Engagement
On exchange of contracts Kaleida begin the formal specification process.

Formal Specification
To ensure continuity from the offset, Kaleida appoint a development team for the life cycle of the solution. The team then undertakes detailed requirement gathering, liasing closely with clients to ensure all requirements are satisfied. Once the formal specification has been drafted we submit it for design approval.

Approval of Specification
Once the client has approved the formal specification, Kaleida begin the development cycle.

Development Cycle
Kaleida undertake an iterative cycle of development and testing during this critical stage of the project. From prototyping, through building the solution and testing it, our approach ensures that the outcome exceeds the client’s expectations.

User Acceptance Testing
Each solution is thoroughly tested; a process requiring significant participation from the end user. Once the solution is approved we seek sign-off against the design specification.

Delivery and Deployment
Kaleida has retained its core clients because we believe that a solution does not just end with its implementation. Our broad experience allows us to offer full training and support for both software and hardware.
