Methodology
At thinking minds we base our methodology on the Rational Unified Process (RUP) that has become the standard for high quality software and Website development. For each
project we customize our RUP process so that it works best for your unique needs. That way, we have a solid framework from which to develop your solution, but are not
locked into a rigid framework that could hamper our efforts to provide the best service possible.
The basis of all of our RUP methods is People, Process and Technology working seamlessly to deliver value added applications and solutions in a fully integrated
framework. We constantly implement Best Practices, while exceeding Industry Standards, Procedures and Processes.
We can reliably predict cost, schedule and deliverables at the onset of nearly any project with one of the shortest cycle times in the industry.
For more than four years our combination of on site excellence with offshore expertise has allows us to deliver on a 16 to 20 hour work day, while ensuring that all bugs
and design flaws are ironed out before they impact your business.
While technology is complex our RUP methodologies are relatively simple. This model, while fully customizable for each and every project, nearly always follows this
basic outline:
