It is quite easy to start a project with us - just contact us and tell us your needs and expectations. Nord-Soft IT and business analysts and software architects will approach you to learn as much as possible about your business needs and requirements.

We do not expect you, our potential customer, to present us well-defined and/or structured requirements. Just speak out your thoughts and expectations and it is quite enough for us to start analyzing your project. We will analyze your information, ask some questions, offer you more ideas and then formalize your answers in the form of project documentation.
We clearly describe the business requirements of the system so it will take you minimal efforts to study and evaluate them. On the basis of the agreed business requirements, we prepare and propose an optimal, technical solution.
Our proposals can vary from a simple estimation of workload and cost of project up to the full suggestion regarding architecture of the project, technologies analysis, TOC (total cost of ownership) estimation, design suggestions, etc. Initial estimation of the project is free and usually developed within a couple of days.

In addition, before you deliver us any project-related information, we can sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that protects your privacy and intellectual property.

Flow

In our company we use a software development process that is fully documented and constantly improved. It is based on best practices and industry standards like Rational Unified Process, Oracle PJM. This process enables us to successfully develop projects within your budget and time frames and, of course, with world-class quality.

A typical software development project has several phases. The key phases are:

— Inception
Start of the project and initial requirements collection. Takes about 5-10% of the project.

— Elaboration
Requirements collection and analysis, planning, creation of design and architecture of the system take place in this phase. Takes about 20-30% of the time.

— Construction
The biggest part, where most of coding, development, and testing are performed. Takes about 50-70% of time.

— Transition
It is when the results of our work are delivered to the customer and the product is installed. Takes about 10% of time.
