Software specification, design and consulting

Successful software solutions are based on careful software specification and architecture design. Innofactor’s core competence includes the specification and design of complex software systems for a modern IT environment. The services of our professional consultants are also available to our customers.

Innofactor provides extensive specification, design and consulting services that cover the entire product acquisition process, from pre-project work to work during the implementation project. Accurate and careful design work ensures that the project runs on schedule and may result in significant overall cost savings.

Software design based on proven best practices

Software specification and design utilizes commonly accepted, proven working methods as well as best practices developed based on these methods. Best practices are based on, for example, the IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specifications.

It is essential that specification and functional design follows a top-down model, where understanding the bigger picture always precedes the actual implementation work. This principle has become increasingly important in the current highly networked IT environment.

Consulting services for processes, operational models and technologies

Innofactor’s customers constantly strive to boost their working methods, time allocations and resource utilization. This can be achieved by streamlining processes and operational models and by introducing IT solutions that automate everyday routines.

Our consulting services help customers understand their IT requirements and to opt for the best possible implementation technology. The consulting work begins with defining and understanding the customer’s business processes and models, documenting them and, if possible, developing them further. After this phase is complete, the next step is to define the technical and operational requirements for the new IT solutions.

Our working methods are based on the Innofactor ISO9001 quality system and the practical experience we have accumulated while working with a wide mix of customers.

Our consultants specialize in the following domains:

• Process and operational model design and optimization
• Designing IT service concepts
• Designing Enterprise Resource Planning solutions
• Drawing up specifications for functional requirements
• Designing and developing technical implementation architectures
• Technology and system evaluations
• Integration planning.
