How does Exility deliver results?
Introduction
Prevailing software development engagement models inject significant risks into client’s change management journey. The gap in value realization between the Client expectation vis-à-vis the prevailing approaches is very high. Exility reduces this gap significantly which translates to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the client.
Manage requirements better; Collaborate rather than elicit.
Understand and express user needs better
Users validate requirements by reviewing visual components as against mockups or
Word documents. Users experience dynamic behavior when validating requirements.
Support evolution of requirements better
Visual components can be changed rapidly and submitted for user validation even
though the underlying backend database and programs are not developed. The impact
of requirement changes emerging later in the development cycle is minimized through
higher level of automation.
Do you wish vendors were receptive to evolving requirements?
The process of managing requirements is the most important but poorly performed part of software development cycle and is amongst the top reasons for poor customer experience. Exility collaborates requirements rather than eliciting.
Share common understanding across Users, Analysts and Developers
Visual components are built in such a manner, that upon validation by Users, they
represent a deterministic requirements contract with Analysts and Developers. Developers
work with “necessary and sufficient conditions” when developing the database and
data access programs.
Enable positive mindset towards scope
Since the product is custom built, Users are not under pressure to leverage out
of the box functionality as is typical to COTS implementations. By providing better
support to evolving requirements, Users are weaned away from requesting features
early in the project when there is less clarity.
Clients buy results, not software
Most clients feel that software projects fail to deliver business benefits. We have analyzed the prevailing approaches and concluded that client's software buying experience can be improved significantly.
Reduce TCO and still be responsive to change requests.
Improve productivity of maintenance teams
Induct new team members faster because the application design can be understood
without having to decipher code. Impact assessment of enhancement requests is faster
as clear separation of UI, business logic and database makes it is easier to localize
changes.
Reduce vulnerability to technology change
Minimize impact of technology change on code by expressing business design using
technology independent methods. Clear separation of functionality aspects such as
UI, business logic and database ensures that the entire code is not affected by
change in any one of them.
Easier to staff maintenance teams
Developers with combination of skills are not required since clear separation of
functionality is enforced.
Eliminate overhead costs typical to COTS packages
Unlike COTS packages there is no need to perform maintenance activities that have
no relevance to the implemented footprint. Additional cost of maintaining custom
code is also eliminated.
Reducing risk of software ownership
Maintenance is the longest phase in the life cycle of an application and also the most expensive. Exility makes it possible to raise efficiency in this phase to be able to respond to changes while keeping costs under control.
Summary
Exility engagement approach accelerates how we manage risks well beyond the first production install and into the sustenance phase. Thus, it reduces the cycle time of implementing the business initiative while ensuring sustained value to clients.
