Requirements and Need Analysis
Requirements and Needs Analysis is an essential factor to ensuring a successful GIS project. We help clients identify the components that make up the GIS and the ways in which an organization will be able to use the available information. We evaluate existing systems and the stakeholders, as well as current and future technology trends to develop a complete set of requirements and capabilities to efficiently drive the project from concept to design.
System Architecture and Design
Designing a system for our clients starts with our clients. We listen to you!
- We consider your business processes, objectives and goals and analyze them in order to design a robust, manageable and future-proof system.
- We consider your budget and timelines in order to create a system that works now and can be enhanced over time.
- We understand. No two projects are alike and we don't offer cookie-cutter solutions. We leverage our experience and will design a system specifically for you.
- We work for you and with you. Combining our resources with yours, we come together to evaluate existing system and business processes to ensure a solution that works and is maintainable by you.
NWG will not embark on the development cycle until the design stage has been successfully completed to your satisfaction. This allows us to ensure the design of the software reflects the items identified in the need analysis. In doing so, we stress the following design considerations:
- Usability: the user interface must be intuitive and easy to use, as well as aesthetically pleasing.
- Robustness: the software is reliable and able to perform its function under all conditions.
- Maintainability: the software is easily supported and administered, as well as compatible with other applications.
- Modularity: the underlying application is made up of a bunch of smaller parts, which create the entire system. These parts are easier to maintain and upgrade, and can often be used by other applications.
System & Application Development
NWG utilizes an iterative development cycle delivering the highest priority functionality first. Each delivery, or “micro-project”, contains a discrete scope and functionality. This cycle is designed to keep you involved in the project and show you the system early and often. Doing this allows you to provide important feedback and review to ensure the system is acceptable when complete.
