Application Development

Objectives
Whether the desired focus is on a green-field opportunity or an existing project, our Signature is the development of bespoke enterprise software solutions designed around the way you work and built to co-exist in harmony with the rest of your enterprise software ecosystems.

Bespoke - We understand that every enterprise is unique and that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution. This is why we adjust and adapt the way we work for each project to provide the very best possible service. We also understand that our client's businesses will continue to grow and change while we develop their next generation of software infrastructure. Accordingly our overriding priority is to help our clients reach their business goals, even if changes are made to the requirements during the project lifecycle.

Accuracy - Establishing accurate 'User Stories' enable us to focus the development on our client's business goals and using agile acceptance testing ensures that we build software that is genuinely fit for purpose. Frequent, focused, iterative delivery cycles enable us to ship solutions in small steps with frequent, early deliveries. Constant feedback allows us to incorporate fresh knowledge into the project on a continuous basis. 

Effectiveness - We implement the using best practices from Extreme Programming and Agile software development. We use automated unit and integration testing extensively to assure the high quality of our code and we use continuous integration and testing to make sure that there are no surprises and 'big-bang' integrations on the end. Overall, it is our practice to use Scrum or a similar methodology to manage the project so that we can provide you with maximum visibility and transparency, giving our clients the chance to review frequently, re-prioritise and customise the project.

Core skills
Our project teams consist of a comprehensive spectrum of Core Skills and experience including: Business Analysts, Business and System Architects, Developers and of course, Project Managers. This blend of skills and resources is brought together under Project Management who in turn, report into our Management Team.

Capabilities
This bonding together of our teams' knowledge and experience enables us to meet the toughest challenges' and is exemplified in delivering the following:

  • core frameworks of the latest technologies that are properly documented, together with prototypes that demonstrate the very best proof-of-concept
  • optimising and delivering software solutions within processes that best suit a specific customers' structure and organisational objectives
  • ensuring that the success of any project is at 100%, at any given point throughout the development, deployment and operational cycle
  • adhering to initial estimates of time and cost, and ensuring that changes are quickly analysed and reported on a timely basis

Team Ownership
At Signature our project teams maintain responsibility for their projects throughout any given project's life-cycle with individual team members remaining on stand-by throughout the delivery process, right up until Signature Technologies' rigorous QA standards have been met and the project has been signed off with customer acceptance. Indeed, t
his 'Culture of Ownership' at a business, team and individual level has proven to be the key to our success.
