Web development

At Cognotix we strongly believe that the Internet is a valuable tool for any organization, but only if it is used properly. To guarantee success in achieving an organization's goals, we take a holistic approach to site development that considers not only the technology involved, but also the needs of all stakeholders and the potentially transformative effects the site can have throughout the business.

Obviously the success of a Web development project depends a great deal on the quality of the developers, so it is critical to find the best possible team to handle a project. Unfortunately for many firms, low barriers to entry have resulted in an over-saturated market for Web developers, which can make it difficult to identify competent service providers. At Cognotix we know that past performance is an excellent predictor of future performance, and we feel that our track record sets us apart.

The key to our success in Web development is a unique combination of excellent communication skills, solid business acumen, superior technical abilities and a strong commitment to an orderly development process. Our process consists of the following six phases:

Audit/assessment

First we start by interviewing management and internal stakeholders to determine organizational goals and determine project scope.

Second we review the organization's current technical capabilities to determine the appropriate platform and tools.

third we discuss our recommendations with the organization to determine whether we should proceed to the project planning phase.

Project planning

First we determine the organization's budget and develop an appropriate portfolio of solutions to address the priorities identified in the audit/assessment phase.

Second we determine metrics to measure the success of the project.

Third we prepare a detailed project plan with concrete milestones.

Fourth we make sure we have support from the appropriate levels of the organization before moving on to implementation.

Development

We execute the details of the project plan while maintaining continual communication with stakeholders to keep them informed about any risks and identify any project changes that need to be addressed.

Quality assurance

First we subject our work product to a rigorous battery of technical tests to guarantee that it conforms to the expectations outlined in the project plan.

Second we turn the product over to the stakeholders to make sure it meets their expectations and address any deficiencies they identify.

Implementation

We deploy the project to the client's production environment.

Post-implementation

We follow up with the client at regular intervals after implementation to make sure the product continues to perform as expected and address any issues that may arise..
