The
Accelerated-Responsive-Client-driven
("ARC")
Discipline is the result of
over two decades of methodology development by some
of the pioneers and practitioners in object and component-based
application development methodology. This methodology
provides a comprehensive and disciplined framework for
the project team to follow, and it requires that each
team be staffed not only with industry-leading Technologists,
but also with Business Experts with the acumen to understand
our Clients' businesses and industries. The ARC Discipline™ is designed to offer our
Clients unsurpassed quality, speed, expediency, and
effectiveness in delivering Internet solutions and it
is based upon the following principles:
Accelerated:
Most traditional IT methodologies follow a waterfall
model. Under this model, a sequential series of processes
follow one another, with one process never proceeding
until the previous one is completed. The ARC Discipline™, on the other hand, is an
Accelerated methodology. Under the ARC Discipline™, Analysis, Design, Construction,
Rollout, and other processes often proceed concurrently,
dramatically collapsing the time necessary to deliver
a quality solution.
Responsive:
At every stage of the system design and development
process, the Client's input is not just requested it
is required. Through a series of Joint Application Planning
("JPL"), Joint Application Design ("JAD") sessions,
our project team frequently meets with the Client's
internal resources to make sure that the project is
responsive to the Client's business requirements. Any
input from the Client is quickly analyzed and implemented.
Client-driven:
This principle ensures that everything we do is driven
not by industry techno-hype or a quick-fix approach
but by a dedication to effectively fulfill the exact
needs of our Clients.
