Software Development Services

services imageAvantica Technologies is a leading Nearshore provider of Outsourced Product Development services.

Since its inception Avantica has successfully helped companies, ranging from start-ups to medium-sized and publicly held, conceptualizing products and bringing them to market as well as on keeping such products up to date as markets evolve.

This kind of outsourcing requires a deep understanding of the problem that needs to be solved, high levels of communication with the clients, and high level of flexibility regarding methodologies and technologies that need to be used. At Avantica we master the required abilities to accompany clients with teams that could start small and grow as required.

Software Development Processes

Projects are unique. This means that every project is different from the others. There are unique factors within each project such as the time it takes, the stakeholders involved, the environment, the organization, the technical stack and so on. Some take more structured engineering approaches than others, some need more documentation, others need more time on coding and development. Whatever the conditions are, Avantica has broad experience in several software development processes to fulfill those needs. Some examples are:

Waterfall: Projects with well defined steps to be followed. After each step is finished the process continues with the next step.

Iterative: An iterative and incremental development cyclic process. Where each iteration output is an increment or refinement of previous iterations. Among the commonest iterative approaches that Avantica applies you will find:

  • Spiral
  • Prototyping
  • LEAN
  • RUP (Rational Unified Process)
  • Agile Software Development
  • XP (Extreme Programming)

Project Management

Software development processes are related to the way the work required for the project is completed, while the Project Management is related to the project supervision and control to accomplish its vision within the estimated time and budget.

This is one of Avantica’s major strengths. Our Project Managers are trained and follow the PMI (Project Management Institute) methodology that is globally proved and developed following a set of good practices for Project Management. We also follow the approach established on CMMI maturity level 2.

Every project has a Project Manager assigned who is responsible for its initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closure stages. He also executes the tasks to keep the client and the internal board informed about the status of the project, the problems and the foreseen risks in order to keep the project under control and according to the plan, and to obtain a product that satisfies the client needs.

The Project Manager is also the main contact between the client and the team in order to verify that any communication is satisfied.

We either define the optimal way with our clients or adapt to the schema under they feel more comfortable operating.

Avantica also has a Project Management Office (PMO) to support the project managers by providing them training, mentoring, guidance, and to guarantee that projects meet time/cost/quality targets.
