Optaros Application Assembly
Open source solutions do not attempt to be champion in all disciplines but rely on open standards and the possibility to include other open source components. The free and uncomplicated access to software components allows you to identify and evaluate solutions in an iterative manner as your understanding of the requirements matures. You can single out the best components for the given situation with each new iteration, providing high transparency of the solution as it develops.
Open source software implementation therefore benefits from a different approach compared to traditional CRM software implementations. Optaros' approach is to help you assemble the exact solution you are looking for in an iterative manner.
The Optaros Application Assembly methodology consists of the following steps:
- Requirements Discovery Workshop (Scope): defines the requirements together with the project stakeholders and identifies a shortlist of suitable open source software products or components. The phase targets a plan for the rest of the implementation, and a proof of concept covering some of the preferred solutions that serves as a first prototype.
- Prototype: the prototype is evaluated with the stakeholders, the spin-off of which is fed into the further design of the application and/or identified for later priority.
- Design: the learnings from the prototype are analyzed and converted into a technical design.
- Assemble & Develop: the open source technology stack is adapted to cater for the changes in the technical design and the components are further integrated.
- Transition & Support: the resulting application is brought into production-ready shape and tested. The application is then rolled out and serviced.
