• Systems Integration
  Apsmith integrates new software application systems with an organization's existing computing systems and software applications to extend functional capabilities necessary in achieving holistic deployments and to ensure system-wide interoperability.
• Business Requirements Analysis

  Apsmith Business and Process Analysts and Industry Specialists work with an organization's business and operational units in the:

  • documentation and assessment of current processes and systems, and any existing gaps,
  • gathering of business and system requirements, and user specifications,
  • formalization of detailed functional and technical specifications against which the eventual software application system will be tested and certified
• Software Architecture & Design

  Senior Software Solution Architects, drawing from extensive experience and seasoned expertise in complex heterogeneous systems, networks and IT environments, deliver comprehensive high-level software architecture plans and detailed design specifications of a software application system to meet technical, operational and business requirements, while optimizing performance, security and manageability.

• Project Management
  Every project engagement involves the Project Management Office (PMO) which manages documentation and reporting, communications with stakeholders, coordination of team members and activities, timeline targets, metrics monitoring and closure. Many of our Project Managers carry the PMP designation and are versed in project management methodologies (MSF, SCRUM,DSDM, XP, Waterfall), to adapt to a project's particular requirements or to the SDLCs of our principals or clients.
• Business Process Redesign
  The BPR sub-practice analyzes and designs workflow and processes within an organization. The objective of transformation is for organizations to become more efficient and take advantage of cost-effective modernization technologies and economies-of-scale. It is the basis for many developments in the management of a business, especially in the areas of Enterprise Resource Planning, Supply Chain Management, Knowledge Management and Enterprise Collaboration, Human Resource Management and Customer Relationship Management.
• Application Development

  Development teams, responsible for the writing of code following a planned and structured process and in coordination with the rest of the project team (Solution Architects, Project Managers, Business & Process Analysts, Quality Assurance Testers, Technical Writers and Trainers), are organized according to proficiencies and technology platform orientation.

  Enabling us to respond, as Systems Integrator, to requirements of computing environments with islands of automation or information silos, Apsmith possesses the expertise required to integrate applications together to simplify and automate business processes with the goal of avoiding sweeping modifications to existing applications or data structures. These scenarios are usual challenges to systems related to Supply Chain Management, Customer Relationship Management, Business Intelligence, and other systems for managing data and workflow.

• Application Testing

  Testing teams execute on approved Test Plans which contain Test Scripts, Test Cases, and Testing Automation, based on documented Functional and Non-functional requirements and Use Cases. User Acceptance Testing, Systems Acceptance Testing and Operations Acceptance Testing ensure that applications developed meet business and technical requirements, to correct any software bugs or defects, and even to capture any unrecognized requirements.

  • Our application testing services are usually employed in:
    • Software application development
    • Software application remediation
    • Software version or component upgrades
    • Platform migration or re-platforming
    • Hardware environment change
    • Application integration
  • Please see Infrastructure (Stress Testing and Tuning & Optimization ) for further service information on Non-functional Testing, such as those that may require scalability (loading and capacity), availability (fail-over and redundancy), and security testing.
• System Implementation and Deployment
  System Implementation and Deployment involves deployment planning and scheduling (which also includes exception handling and roll-back procedures), automation of software deployment, creation of application image, deployment testing, and services for actual production roll-out.
• System Audit
  Audit involves the collection and evaluation of system diagnostics, and practices and operations attending these systems. Evaluations are set against a set of established criteria, and standards for internal control design and effectiveness. Apsmith's services for systems audit are designed to verify efficient processing of applications under normal and potentially disruptive conditions (performance, security and availability) and to verify that controls are in place on the client (computer-receiving services), server, and on the network connecting the clients and servers. Services include rating and assessment, identification of gaps and recommendations on correcting any identified gaps.
• Change Request Management
  Apsmith adopts the same SDLC methodologies and approach in the management of Change Requests which entail one or many adjustments, enhancements or otherwise new requirements outside of those specified in, or materially varying from, the original functional and user specifications of a software application system.

Primarily following processes for trouble-ticketing and issue/incident escalation, support services involve error replication or simulation, root cause identification and isolation, analysis, diagnosis, development of workaround, hot fixes or patches, incident and regular reporting, and, the recommendation and development of long-term solutions, all geared towards the restoration of application availability or prescribed performance levels.

System health checks, vital statistics monitoring and supportability reviews are inclusions to the service. Support may be part of a larger Service Level Agreement.
