Large enterprises and public administration organisations require the information technology support for constantly changing processes so that their efficiency can be improved. The information systems fulfilling special needs still require a comprehensive individual development or the configuration of individual components matching to the currently existing products. With the advance of software technology applications conforming to the individual needs and quickly changing business processes can be made considerably more efficiently and flexibly.

However, the enterprises requiring individual software development, experience even today that the software development work lasts for a lengthy time, the projects exceed the cost and deadline frameworks and the created applications often do not fulfil the originally set objectives.

WHY SYNERGON?

The key to the success of the individual software development projects is the applied methodology and its observation, the outstanding project management and the proper project organisation and team. The development methodology used by Synergon is based on the Microsoft developed and development platform independent MSF for CMMI project approach which defines the roles and responsibilities appearing in the development projects. The MSF for CMMI model is entirely suitable for the deployment of the CMMI standard guaranteeing quality software development. The other significant element of our methodology is the development project related needs analysis and requirement management which accompanies the project through its entire lifecycle, ensuring the comprehensive conformance of the deliverable product to the functional and non-functional requirements. We constantly refine the requirement management related aspect systems on the basis of the experience gained during the years.

We supplement the MSF for CMMI framework system with either of the following two approach methods in accordance with the customer’s needs and the size or the lead time of the project:

1. the documentation and project management methods required by the Rational Unified Process methodology

2. the agile development methodology

The agile development methodology is capable of eliminating the majority of the classic software development pitfalls. Its essence is that at the beginning of the development project we identify the most important requirements posited against the product to be developed and these are placed ahead of any other aspects. The methodology lays emphasis on the constant requirement management instead of the preliminary requirement specification. In the course of the project, we elaborate the plans and the operating prototypes of certain product modules in interactive development steps. The Customer is already enabled to modify the expectations regarding the product between the certain prototypes on the basis of the experience of the operating prototypes. In the course of the project, we constantly create forecasts about the expectable deadlines and expenditures, which facilitate the realization of the most important project results within the deadlines and cost limit.

Synergon is capable of supplying individually developed solutions for each significant platform, which is also proven by its extensive references. We have considerable references on the most important application development platforms, such as the Microsoft .Net or the Jave J2EE. Our requirement management and development methodology, which is unique on the market, guarantee the supply of projects by the specified deadline and with the quality expected.
