How We Cooperate
A guaranteed delivery of your software product within your timeline or budget constraints.
Our responsibility: the implementation roadmap, budget, quality metrics, risk management, delivery process setup, and all the team-related aspects.
Client responsibility: providing business context, time/budget constraints and the product vision.
Includes PoC development, software engineering and reeingeneering services.
Our responsibility: Deliver product on time and within budget
Client responsibility: Provide product vision, scope and desired timeline
Consistency and transparency are key to our delivery process, so we follow the same framework regardless of the project.
We visit our client to understand the challenges and goals of delivery. It gives us a holistic view of the project so we can brainstorm and co-create a solution. Working this way encourages a collaborative approach, so we know we’re working towards the same vision.
We work with you to create a detailed project specification, from which we design and implement an expedited and risk-averse full-scale development process.
We have two types of discovery, dependent on project complexity: ‘classic’ and ‘product design’.
- Classic discovery: A compact cross-functional team of system architect + business analyst + UX designer, who work with your stakeholders to identify gaps in specification and build a project roadmap.
- Product design: Our system architect, business analyst and UX designer work with your stakeholders to outline a product concept that focuses on end-users, competitors and the market. We then develop the product concept, prototype and high-level architecture – speeding up SDLC and boosting UX.
Our custom application development services encompass analysis, design, development, testing and deployment. We use tried and tested processes and automation techniques that ensure a transparent, seamless and fast delivery.
- Solution implementation: End-to-end delivery and accompanying project management practices
- Process and metrics: Implementing requirements with all controls in place, providing transparent metrics for evaluating your solution delivery status and constantly sharing project progress.
- Infrastructure setup: Project budgeting, management, and reporting – set up within a day
We know that security is paramount, so we implement a secure automated SDLC (A-S-SDLC), using the following methodologies, best practice and standards: MS SDL, OWASP CLASP, ISO/IEC 27001. We can also build extra layers of security that comply with PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC2, NIST, and SANS.
Seamless deployment requires DevOps best practices. Our deployment techniques encompass:
- Deployment to your environment, following agreed specifications.
- Creation of development, testing, staging and production environments and deployment to Azure/AWS.
We then make sure you know exactly what to expect post-launch, with rigorous UA testing that demonstrates the expected real-life experience and outcomes for your users.
Our dedication to
transparency
Transparency is a key part of how we work at ELEKS. We believe it helps build trust, accountability, and understanding with our clients. We make sure to keep communication clear and honest, giving our clients all the information they need about our services, their projects, and what results they can expect.
We keep an eye on how projects are going and their quality and security using our own tool called ELEKS’ Compliance Automation Platform (eCAP). We collect metrics on project progress, budget utilization, quality assurance, and engineering performance, allowing us to track the state of the project effectively.
The breadth of knowledge and understanding that ELEKS has within its walls allows us to leverage that expertise to make superior deliverables for our customers. When you work with ELEKS, you are working with the top 1% of the aptitude and engineering excellence of the whole country.
Right from the start, we really liked ELEKS’ commitment and engagement. They came to us with their best people to try to understand our context, our business idea, and developed the first prototype with us. They were very professional and very customer oriented. I think, without ELEKS it probably would not have been possible to have such a successful product in such a short period of time.
ELEKS has been involved in the development of a number of our consumer-facing websites and mobile applications that allow our customers to easily track their shipments, get the information they need as well as stay in touch with us. We’ve appreciated the level of ELEKS’ expertise, responsiveness and attention to details.
