Custom Applications

Welsh Business Solutions (WBS) will begin by documenting daily processes.  This Business Discovery Phase (BDP) will document ways to improve the productivity and efficiency of the company.  The BDP will also suggest system changes and custom applications as necessary.   If custom applications are required, full functional requirements will also be included.  The BDP will be done up front and the customer will receive full documentation of all necessary changes and system requirements.

After the BDP, WBS will offer these services to the client or you have the option of taking possession of documentation and implementing internally.  If WBS is contracted to complete the work, specialists in appropriate areas will be brought onto the project.  WBS will operate in a series of phases for project completion.

• The first phase will be the Design Requirements Phase (DRP). This phase will draw on the BDP and expand the documentation to include technical specifications necessary to complete the project.
• The second phase will be the Application Development Phase (ADP).   The ADP will build to specification all necessary components.The ADP will include three review points.These review points will be with the customer to ensure that the development is on track with the needs and desires of the client. 
  • These will be referred to as prototypes. 
  • The first and second prototype will be open to client changes within the scope of the project.
  • The third and final prototype will be a confirmation that WBS is delivering the desired product.
  • No further changes will be allowed on the third prototype.
• At the completion of the ADP, the System Testing Phase (STP) will begin. During the STP, full testing, including load testing and platform testing will be executed. All unsuccessful tests will be corrected.
• The final phase will be the Customer Approval and Signoff Phase (CSP).   The CSP will give customer ample time to review and approve all delivered products. 

At the conclusion of the CSP, customers will also be offered training on systems.  If this is not necessary, it is not required.  However, for custom applications, user training is highly recommended.
