Up2 offers a wide range of web and software programming services. We have outstanding experience in custom database development, desktop and distributed application design as well as various custom software components and web programming.
Our services for custom software development are focused on:
Evaluation and recommendations
When we have your requirements, we will advise you on the technologies and possible products that can be used for the development taking into consideration your current environment, staff skills and budget.
The technology evaluation has many technical purposes but most important is the business purpose – to save you valuable staff and financial resources while offering a solution that best suits your specific business needs.
Prototyping and design
Often we encounter good ideas, but poor specifications. In this case, we are prototyping your application until we get the final specification. Our system analysts gather information about your current procedures and business processes, and conduct user interviews and collect documentation to create initial specifications.
The user feedback gained from the prototype gives invaluable information that helps us to create the final specifications. Necessary features are added and redundant features are eliminated early in the design.
Application development
This involves of course the actual realization of the solution. We use mature and well-established practices in the development process to guarantee the quality of our products. Where possible we apply an iterated approach during the development process. This means we develop the solution in parts and present you each part for review.
The advantage of this approach is that you can start evaluating your solution early on in the project and apply changes and enhancements if required. We are also able to apply an extreme programming scenario. However, this depends highly on the project setting and the expertise of your staff involved.
Migration and customization
In case, the custom software solution we are creating for you requires environment migration, we can provide these services to you including version upgrades services, database migration, re-engineering, functionality upgrades and porting.
Integration
Integration with existing or with partners’ applications is often requested by our clients. We realize this very important, sometimes mission-critical integration using the current application infrastructure as much as possible.
