Interactive Development

Overview

Great web design and marketing genius only translates to results if it gets developed and deployed. Keeping in touch with customers and making it easy for them to learn, use, and access the products and services they care about is paramount for all businesses today. The digital revolution has lead to the continual evolution of how businesses must think and keep pace with technology and social trends. Uniting the power of the web to business and communication objectives is key to moving seamlessly with the market.

Our engineers are Internet-savvy and business-focused and passionate about creating dynamic, highly-interactive and functional web experiences leaving cutting-edge technologies quietly behind your well-designed interfaces. We offer a full spectrum of interactive development capabilities including web production, content management, multimedia and e-Commerce integration, flash animations and games - coupled with social networking integration focused on the fact that the ultimate test of quality is a memorable and positive user experience that drives business and usage.

Aligned Global can help you fill interactive development resource shortages and skill gaps, and provide on-demand capabilities allowing you to access our offshore network of skilled talent, precisely when you need it at a fraction of the cost associated with United States based resources. We work with you to put the right operational framework in place and deliver the domain expertise and creative problem solving talent to give you the competitive advantage needed in today's fluctuating environment.

Approach

The process of engagement with Aligned Global is very simple. You communicate your requirements and objectives to us and jointly we define the metrics of success, tailor the team of software engineers, agree on a cost-effective pricing model, and begin the effort. We partner with you from internal proposals and budgeting, through project approvals, all the way to delivery, deployment, and maintenance (including porting where required) and support.

Process Overview:

Strategic Vision. Ensure a shared vision of the project and agree on business objectives, success metrics and overall risk assessment. Once aligned, identify the team and establish a broad definition of requirements as well as overall solution design.

Design and Planning. Determine what to develop along with design concepts, specifications and system requirements. Implement plan and project backlog with initial sprint plan completed.

Iterative Development. Using an agile, iterative and incremental approach the project team develops the solution with hands-on usage across small, cross-functional teams until feature complete.

Stabilization. Strong focus on identifying, prioritizing and resolving issues to prepare for release, including final release, notes, source code and documentation.

Deployment. The team deploys the solution into production, transfers the project to operations and support facilities, and obtains final customer approval.
