Component Development
(ComDeV)
Until
now there have been only two choices available to corporate
IT departments when deciding how to resource large software
developments:
|
 |
Maintain
all software development using internal resources, supplemented
with additional resources from expensive short term IT contractors,
or |
|
|
Outsource
the entire project to a third party software company |
|
Now, through
FAST ComDeV, the opportunity exists to outsource discreet
components of development projects to specialist development
teams. The service, which can be delivered either on the customer's
premises, or at FAST, allows the customer to limit FASTs
involvement to, and controls the specifications of, specific
components.
Using
rapid development techniques, the FAST team uses specifications
produced by the customer to provide a fully tested and documented
component. FAST can be engaged to develop components that
require specialist technical knowledge not readily available
within a standard corporate IT department.
Types
of component development/construction service include:
|
 |
development
and internal testing against specifications provided |
 |
internal
and external documentation as required |
 |
project
management of a team of FAST people, complemented by contract
staff as needed |
 |
provide
training in the component's internals to the customer's development
staff |
 |
provide
training in the use of the component to the customer's development
staff and training department |
|
Benefits
of using FAST ComDeV include:
|
|

|
Reduced
need to manage disparate teams of permanent IT staff and short
term contractors; |
 |
Access
to FAST's expertise in operating systems, TP monitors, database
and distributed application architectures, Internet and networked
applications |
 |
Rapid
development of discreet components as FAST teams are already
in place |
 |
Specialist
teams include team leaders, junior and senior developers and
documentation technicians which allows component development
to be delivered quickly |
 |
Knowledge
transfer to the customer's developers, using the component as
the vehicle for learning |
 |
Lower
overall project costs as FAST uses its own tools and (ISO 9001
certified) procedures |
