METHODOLOGY
Infinity Solutions
can
help you gain critical competitive advantage by tapping
into the power of the internet and using it to:
- Broaden your market reach and
increase sales
- Better fulfill your customers'
needs for products, services, and information -- at
lower costs
- More effectively target, attract,
and communicate with prospective customers
- Increase efficiency and reduce
costs
- Communicate information and share
knowledge with employees, customers, and suppliers.
In order to rapidly accomplish
these goals for our clients, we have developed a proprietary
programming and scheduling methodology code-named
ROBOT.
ROBOTis
an acronym, which stands for Results On Budget and
On Time.
By utilizing our ROBOT
development methodology, we guarantee our clients timely
delivery of high-impact, e-business solutions at fixed
prices.
Infinity Solutions' ROBOT
methodology is a proven, repeatable, yet highly adaptive
process. The flexible nature of the methodology allows
us to customize our processes to create "best-of-breed"
internet and software solutions that minimize your risk,while
meeting your budget and time-frame.
ROBOT
is a workshop-based, rapid development methodology which
emphasizes active client participation to help visualize,
prioritize, and create high-impact internet and software
solutions.

Our ROBOT methodology
consists of nine distinct, yet related, stages:
1. Strategic Consultation
2. Goal-setting Workshop
3. Project Definition
4. Technology
5. Production
6. Testing
7. Launch
8. Support
9. Iterative Innovation
Strategic
Consultation
In the initial Strategic
Consultation, we work closely with our clients to fully
understand their business -- their markets, products,
services, competition, culture, and internal processes.
Our goal is to get to know your business as well as you
do. You will find we ask a lot of questions during this
phase.
Goal-setting
Workshop
The Goal-setting workshop
allows us to determine what your ultimate goals are for
the project, so we can develop a strategy and action plan
to meet those requirements. We find many of our clients'
goals expand after this phase, once we help them to realize
the myriad ways in which internet technologies can enhance
their business.
Project
Definition
Project Definition comes
next. Once we know what you do and what you want to accomplish,
we develop a detailed Project Specification Report outlining
what functionality the final solution will possess.
Technology
Next, we determine what
technologies will best accomplish the objectives enumerated
in the "Project Spec.". Because Infinity Solutions is
not wedded contractually or ideologically to any particular
development tools, we can be totally objective when determining
the best, most cost-effective and time-effective approach
to take. We are constantly searching the market for new
development tools to test, adopt, and deploy to our clients'
advantage.
Production
The Production phase is
where our expert web developers, application developers,
and creative people go to work and actually build your
application. The entire process is driven by our "customer-centric,
total-satisfaction" culture and proprietary project scheduling
methodologies. These two forces work in conjunction with
one another to ensure that the work is done to the highest
possible quality standards, and that it is completed "on
time and on budget".
Testing
The completed application is
then thoroughly tested utilizing the internal methodologies
and tools we have developed over the past eight years.
By employing our proven testing methodologies, we strive
for as "bug free" a launch as possible.
Launch
and Support
Once testing is complete, we
launch the application. Complete customer support is critical
during the initial launch, because the application will
be totally new to you and your users. We pride ourselves
on our high levels of responsiveness to all customer support
requests.
Iterative
Innovation
Finally, comes the "Iterative
Innovation" phase.
We at Infinity Solutions are
great believers in the Japanese art of Kaisen - the art
of constant improvement. We not only practice it internally,
but we apply it to our client's projects as well, with
a discipline we have named "Iterative Innovation". After
launch and support, Iterative Innovation represents the
ninth and final phase of our ROBOT methodology.
Any project Infinity Solutions
completes for a client is a "child" of the conditions
prevailing at the time of initial design, production,
and implementation. But conditions always change over
time - markets change, competition changes, personnel
change, finances change, business processes change, products
and services change, and, of course, technology changes.
On an ongoing basis, we
like to work with our clients to ensure the applications
we've developed for them remain optimal solutions, as
conditions change over time. We will work with you, as
time goes on, to suggest improvements in functionality
to future "iterations" of your applications.
We will keep you advised
of new technologies that may benefit your organization.
This process of "Iterative Innovation" ensures your applications
continue to provide you with the most powerful competitive
advantages possible.
