How we work

Scoping | Concept Design | Prototyping | Development | Delivery

Every organisation small and large have their own unique terminology, internal processes and cultures. To provide the right solution for you we follow this process: 

1. Scoping
   
   This work is taken on at risk where we take time to understand your business and processes. We list system and business requirements and produce a series of documents including a scope of work, a high-level process map, a concept app design and finally a prototype application to demonstrate some of the key features. This is done so that both the client and GSBC Solutions can understand what the end solution will look like. 
   
   
2. Quotation and Proposal
   
   Once the scoping is complete, a project plan and solution price is built and submitted in a formal proposal. The initial scoping work is priced into the first milestone of the project. All payment milestones and time scales will be clearly marked in with the proposal pricing. The proposal is priced and structured in such a way that the client can stage or phase modules to suit their time scales and budget. 
   
   
3. Placement of Order
   
   On placement of order GSBC Solutions will issue an invoice for the Scoping phase of the project which forms the initial deposit payment for the project. 
   
   
4. Quickbase Realm or Website Hosting
   
   Quickbase Projects (Realm Setup)
   The client’s realm is set up on Quickbase and once the Quickbase account is activated GSBC Solutions will transfer the prototype app over to the client's realm ready for starting the full development phase of the project. 
   
   Website Projects (Hosting)
   Initially the website will be developed on a development server and once ready to go live will be migrated to the live domain
   
   
5. Subject Matter Experts
   
   It is critical that the client assigns key people to the project to work in collaboration with GSBC Solutions. They will be added to the new App at the earliest opportunity in order to be able to test, review and provide feedback. This helps to speed up the development process and allows for applications to be delivered quickly in a phased approach.
   
   
6. Development
   
   The Application is developed to the specifications defined and with larger projects, with phased milestones.  On completion of a milestone / project internal testing and client acceptance testing is carried out. The clients appointed subject matter experts will be involved throughout the development stage of the project so that the project stays on track and any variations can be managed between GSBC Solutions and the client.
