How We Do It
Success in a developing a custom solution depends on three things: people, process, an technology. At LimeLeap, we have the best in all three areas.
Our People
We've put together a team of insightful executives, inquisitive business analysts, experienced project managers, brilliant programmers, and detail-oriented testers. We love what we do and are passionate about doing it right. Read more About Us.
Our Process
We've been doing this since 1994. The technology we use has changed many times over, but the fundamentals remain the same.
Our requirements analysis, software development and project management processes are based on agile methodologies. These allow for short iterative cycles, rapid prototyping, and regular feedback from the client. Useful, testable components are delivered frequently, spreading design, testing and acceptance throughout the project lifecycle instead of all design occurring up front and testing accumulating at the end.
We build in short two-week sprints (cycles) to ensure progress is visible, and to quickly include feedback or changes. While a sprint is in full swing, the project manager and your point of contact are in discussions for future sprints and together decide on next steps. At the end of the sprint, components are tested by a quality assurance technician and released to the client for review. This allows you to see the results of the development effort as the project progresses.
The fundamental benefits of this approach are:
Improved ROI – Frequent releases allows you to give substantial feedback, keeps the project focused on manageable blocks, and adapts to new insights and changed circumstances.
Reduced Risk – The ongoing collaborative approach inherent in frequent planning meetings helps detect potential problems early and solve them quickly before too much time and effort elapse.
Better Solutions – By performing detailed analysis, design and development in small increments, staff can focus on manageable set of features, and insights can be applied to future work.
Our Technology
Our clients have unique needs. They need a custom solution, but starting from scratch is fraught with risk - cost overruns, security concerns, stability under heavy loads, usability, not to mention getting it right.
At LimeLeap, we use LeapSeed, a powerful web platform, to build and deploy solutions. We've deployed hundreds of systems built on it, serving tens of thousands of people every day. The underlying nuts and bolts use robust Microsoft .NET technology and Microsoft SQL Server.
Consisting of solid pre-built, well-tested, and heavily used business components, we use LeapSeed to configure much of your custom solution - without expensive custom coding. You get a fast reliable system without having to start from zero. Read more about LeapSeed.
