A process tailored to your needs
Adept Scientific Professional Services will help you plan, prepare, implement
and deploy your technical projects. Because we work, on a daily basis, with
a huge variety of customers and applications across many industry sectors,
we have developed practical, broad-based expertise to ensure you get the best
results possible.
All our consulting services are provided by qualified professionals with
several years experience of supporting our software and hardware users and
addressing their individual needs.
Once we've assessed your needs, we'll supply a fully working proof of concept
so you can test all your assumptions before making a final commitment to
the full proposed consultancy project. The process, outlined
here, culminates in a fully documented system proposal which covers
an analysis of your needs, functional requirements, software tools, customisation
processes and detailed implementation steps. That means, when you take
the decision to move forward with the proposed solution, you'll have a 'no
surprises' guarantee, mitigating your risk and ensuring a successful project
implementation through proper project planning.
We employ an adaptation of the Unified Process as a framework
for all consultancy projects. This methodology utilises iterative stages
which cannot be passed unless designated milestones are reached and agreed
upon by both parties.
A summary of the process is shown
here.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss possible consultancy needs with you,
no matter how tentative your enquiry might be.
