Feasibility study
The feasibility study assesses the suitability of a netvoyager implementation.
The main indicators are framework fit, business and/or technology risks
and access to business experts on the customer side.
Business study
The business study scopes the overall activity of the project and baselines
the high-level business functionality and informational requirements.
At this stage, we also identify any core framework enhancements that are
needed to satisfy customers' needs. |

Functional Model Iteration
The focus of the functional
model iteration is to provide early visibility
of the proposed solution by producing a rapid
first-cut prototype. This forms the basis for
refining the high-level requirements instead of
the traditional approach using lengthy documents
that can be inaccurate to begin with or misinterpreted
during development phase. We identify Ambassador
users who can accurately represent the needs of
the eventual users of the system. We liaise with
them using physical or ‘virtual’ workshops where
they can touch and feel the business process and
give essential feedback that is used to refine
the prototypes toward the optimum solution. Virtual
workshops are extremely useful where geography
or time zones limit the extent to which relevant
parties can physically meet. In the virtual workshop
all prototypes are available over the web. |

Design and Configuration
When the customer is satisfied with the functional
model, the solution is moved to the design and configuration phase.
The focus here is on satisfying technical requirements, for example,
performance criteria and bringing the solution to a level of completeness,
that is, ready for user acceptance testing. Our own system and integration
testing is ongoing throughout the iterations of this phase.
Implementation
Implementation covers the transfer from the netvoyager configuration
environment to the operational environment. netvoyager can provide
resources during this phase to complement the customer skill sets
and resources available |
