S18Tech proposes a collaborative approach to develop and implement Application. S18TECH and CLIENT staff will work together to upgrade and development of application.
III.3. Following points enumerate proposed mode of collaboration:
1. S18Tech proposes to start the project with business analysis. Our business analysts will closely observe and interact with the Client’s Staff (Project Manager) to understand the business operations.
We will produce a document (Software Requirement Specifications – SRS) that will have complete details of the business requirements. Once the requirements are approved, the consultants will architect, design, develop and test the system in stages.
2. At the end of each stage, S18Tech will deliver a working version to the Client. The Client’s Staff (Project
Manager) will test it, after which it will be deployed on the Client’s servers or Hosting Server.
3. After the system has been developed and tested (at the end of third stage), S18Tech will setup the complete system at the Client’s Headquarters for User acceptance testing. Client’s staff will do acceptance testing and give a formal approval for deployment.
4. Once acceptance testing finishes, deployment will begin as a last step. S18Tech’s engineers along with the Client’s I.T. Team will setup and install the system on the Client’s Servers. If required on the job training to Client personnel will also be provided.
S18Tech Defining New Wave of Design Engineering Page | 31
III.4. Advantages of Proposed Approach:
1. S18Tech proposes to develop the system in multiple stages. Each stage will focus on specific modules
of IMS Application. This approach has many advantages:
a. It will reduce the complexity of overall application and hence reducing implementation risk arising out of complex software applications.
b. Application can be used in parallel even while Application is being developed. This will ensure there is no hindrance in Client operations.
c. The software architecture will remain simple while retaining its elegance, maintainability and scalability.
d. Investments from Client will be staggered over a period of time thus reducing the risk of over investing.

2. S18Tech will closely and collaboratively work with Client personnel (under their experienced guidance) to create a robust and scalable system. Close and continuous association will give rise to many benefits:
a. It will ascertain and ensure that there is no ambiguity in understanding the requirements thus guaranteeing required needs are fulfilled to the satisfaction.
b. Client personnel will not need any additional training (apart from the small on the job training provided by S18Tech engineers) on Application, after it is implemented.
c. The knowledge of existing operations of proposed application will remain within the company after the implementation thus enabling easy maintenance.
d. It will reduce the implementation risk arising out of complex software applications.
3. S18Tech is a closed group of seasoned professionals having many years successfully executing
multiple projects’ experience. This unmatched experience will surely produce desired results.
4. S18Tech has long history of developing and deploying IT solutions from ground up. And are well versed in understanding and implementing business requirements. S18Tech engineers use cutting edge technologies for developing and deploying application.
