HIME Technology project methodology is as follows:

Client Engagement Phase

HIME Technology conducts interviews, using a detailed project questionnaire, to gain a conceptual understanding of your business goals. This includes gathering and defining your requirements and objectives, target market, competition, and business and marketing strategies. After the interview process is completed, HIME Technology will have a detailed overview of your project's goals and objectives.

At the start of a new engagement we have a formal knowledge acquisition process. Depending on the circumstances we may send a core team (usually from our U.S. front office) to work for a period of time onsite with the customer, they may send their key technical people here, or we may capture the knowledge remotely. In this first stage the team will learn and document the customer's processes, business domain, development environment and build relationships with the customer's team.

An HIME ODC (HIME Offshore Development Center) operates like an extension of the customer's IT organization rather than just as a subcontractor. Like with internal teams, bottlenecks of communication reduce productivity and ease of operation. Building strong relationships with the customer and enabling fluid communication between all members of both teams are critical to getting an ODC up and running smoothly. Consequently English skills throughout the whole team are vital, not just for the project manager.

Client Requirement Implementation Phase

HIME Technology's team of experts uses information gathered during the client engagement phase to develop a detailed design specific to the goals and needs of you, our client. This design becomes the guideline for the construction phase of the new project.

HIME will first synchronize with our customer's process, and focus on building a successful track record delivering results. Then slowly over time we make suggestions and implement parts of our process which compliment theirs enabling us to provide us a long term improvements in quality and productivity.

HIME Technology's teams begin constructing the new project by implementing the plans from the design phase. This intensive, detailed internal effort follows exact step-by-step procedures developed by HIME Technology that ensure accurate completion of the project.

Deployment Phase

HIME Technology performs rigorous usability and performance testing to ensure compliance with all quality standards so that the final project will perform to your organization's expectations. Once fully tested and approved, the project is "rolled out" and placed into full production, ready for immediate use by your organization.

Verification Phase

Once the deployment phase is completed, HIME Technology will provide post deployment Quality Assurance and Testing. This Verification Phase will ensure that the final deployment functionality and quality standards are formally verified for our clients.

Analysis Phase

Periodically, or as requested, HIME Technology analyzes completed projects for quality and applicability. This is particularly important when innovative or new marketing techniques become available. When warranted, HIME Technology recommends updates, new programs, or enhanced marketing strategies to ensure our clients maintain the most current and highest quality technology to fit their needs.
