Software Engineering and Project Management:
Managed Success in Custom Software Systems
At JUMP Technology Services®, we subscribe to the basic concepts of software engineering
principles. Regardless of technology evolution, four key attributes of well-engineered
software systems exist:
- Maintainable – Systems engineering approach to software design keeps it well organized and structured to ensure extensibility as the organization grows
- Reliable – Thorough execution in design, development, and quality assurance mean a robust and highly available system
- Efficient – Long before the first character of code is written, the software engineer's design considers the environment and usage of the system to ensure efficiency at both the machine and user level
- Appropriate user interface –A critical component to the success of the system is cohesion in appearance and messaging of the forms as well as intuitive design.
Upon analysis, the evolution of technology paradigms deals primarily with scope. Evolving from local computer applications to distributed applications sharing data across an enterprise and now the globe, the paradigms are closely coupled with new business paradigms. While software vendors continually provide new modeling concepts and tools for custom software designs, the underlying software engineering principles remain the same, or should. Beware of any potential vendor that tells you otherwise. There is no replacement for great thinking, great engineering.
Agile Projects for Custom Software Systems
JUMP Technology Services utilizes strategic design methodologies to prove fast results. Unlike other organizations that use the term agile to describe design by prototype methodologies or a lack of any methodology whatsoever, our goal is staged delivery of software modules that meet project requirements without sacrificing system extensibility. Because of our knowledge and dedication to software engineering principles we can utilize modeling techniques from ORM (Object Role Modeling), UML (Unified Modeling Language) and RUP (Rational Unified Process) to provide the best fit for the stage of the project’s lifecycle and the customer organization. Our projects:
- Finish on time
- Produce expected results, the product matches the designs
- Provide full disclosure of costs up front
- Complete successfully, despite the current trend in our industry (see the 2009 Standish Group Report)
Our methodology has proven results…successful custom software projects that more than meet the standard, we exceed it.
