Design

Whether your project is part of a larger system, or a stand-alone application, our expertise ensures your designs make the most intelligent use of current technologies and best practice, and that the finished solution achieves all your business and technical objectives.

Functional Specifications

We can interpret user requirements to produce functional specifications.  These will describe, from the user’s perspective, how the product will work.

Architecture Development

Once the functional requirements of a system have been determined, we can advise on the most appropriate system architecture eg client-server, distributed, peer-to-peer.  As systems architecture affects both the hardware and software requirements, we can examine the role of COTS components in the final solution.

System Design

We break complex systems down into sub-systems, carefully considering interactions, interfaces, and the flow-down of requirements. This phase includes the documenting of design outputs, including interface specifications for the system and any sub-systems.

Software Design

We then elaborate further on the system design, to produce detailed designs.  We choose the most appropriate tools and methodologies e.g Unified Modelling Language (UML), Yourdon, ROSE, SELECT.
