TRINIDAT-WIKI
This is how we work at trinidat
Development of customised software
Every company is unique and stands out thanks to the services and products it offers. Workflows and business processes therefore also differ, and standardisation is often only possible with restrictions. Software tailored to the individual company can therefore help to optimise business processes. For companies, the decision to opt for customised software is an important strategic step. When it comes to specific processes, workflows or systems, a customised software solution is worth its weight in gold. Two things are particularly important when choosing the right software developer: trust and developer expertise. At trinidat, we place great value on transparency. That’s why we’re happy to show you how working with us works in this article.
Why choose custom software?
There are quite a few standard software packages on the market. Many systems promise to adequately map specific processes in companies. However, in everyday business practice, ready-made software solutions quickly and often reach their limits. This is especially true when it comes to special requirements or complex processes. In the worst case, companies then have to adapt their processes to the capabilities of the software they use.
The individually programmed applications from trinidat, on the other hand, adapt to your company – not the other way around. Software designed and developed precisely to your requirements increases efficiency, reduces costs in the long term and ensures competitive advantages. Our customers from sectors such as chemicals, mechanical engineering, trade and services have confirmed this for many years: developing custom software pays off.
From the idea to the finished solution
Do you have software that no longer meets your requirements? Or are you looking for a new application that is tailored to your processes? But how do you find a software developer who can programme the application that is exactly right for your company? Then contacting trinidat is your first step towards a successful software project. In a free introductory meeting, we will explain our approach and start analysing your requirements right away.
1. Requirements analysis
At trinidat, we have specialists who determine exactly how your company works as part of the requirements analysis. In several consultations with you and your employees, we get to know the workflows and special features of your business processes and document them. This results in the requirements analysis. It describes your wishes for the new software to be created, i.e. ‘What should the software do?’
Is it a completely new development or the further development of existing software? What should the software be able to do? What areas of responsibility should the software cover? Are there individual requirements for data security and compliance, user interfaces or locations of use? In this phase, we familiarise ourselves with your field of expertise and review the existing processes in your company.
2. Concept and architecture
‘How should the software be programmed?’ This is done by describing the user interface with wireframes or mockups, creating the database model, describing the evaluations and reports to be created, and, in particular, designing the interfaces to existing systems. The implementation concept is very detailed and contains a description of each individual data field in the software.
It is always important to us to design scalable, secure and future-proof software.
3. Agile, according to concept, or the best of both worlds
Software development based on the classic waterfall model is ideal for reliable planning of time and budget requirements. After analysing your requirements, we create an implementation concept that describes the software architecture and technologies and lists the desired functions and features in detail.
In agile development, we use project management methods such as Scrum to develop the best possible software solution step by step in close consultation with you. You can regularly monitor the development process, provide feedback that is implemented immediately, and thus ensure that all your requirements are incorporated into the application exactly as you want them.
The hybrid trinidat model: perfectly tailored to customer needs
In practice, we combine classic and agile methods to form a kind of ‘agile waterfall model’. We divide the overall project into sub-projects lasting approximately one month. The tasks for these sub-projects are designed in advance and planned according to the effort involved. While one sub-project is being programmed, we prepare the next one and test the previous one in parallel. This close integration guarantees rapid progress and avoids typical problems of the classic waterfall model – in particular, excessive strain on the customer at the start of the project. The hybrid model ensures that your resources can be used evenly throughout the project.
4. Testing and quality assurance
After development comes testing: our programmers, who all work in Germany and are employed by trinidat, have extensive experience and expertise in programming. But even the best sometimes make mistakes. That’s why we place great emphasis on extensive testing and quality assurance throughout the entire manufacturing process of your software. Every function is tested, both automatically and manually. This allows us to identify errors early on and fix them. As a result, we guarantee a reliable solution.
5. Rollout and support
Once all tests have been successfully completed, we will implement the software in your system landscape in the cloud or at a service provider. We are also happy to train your employees in the use of the new software. We will train a power user within your company, who will then pass on their knowledge to their colleagues. On request, we can also provide a manual for the new application. Of course, trinidat will continue to support you with maintenance and further development even after the development phase.
