Development Process:

At Slate Technology we use a six-step process to maintain high levels of communication and trust. This development process includes:

–         Initiation

–         Staging

–         Production

–         Completion

–         Evaluation

–         Documentation

Slate Technology will initiate work with you by gathering and fine tuning business and technology requirements. We will help you to transform your goals and ideas into hard requirements. Our development team of programmers, designers, and project managers will create a project outline and identify key deadlines based on the agreed to requirements. Not one line of code is written until we have set a strong understanding of your goals, timeline, and informed team members of their respective tasks.

Throughout the development process, we believe it is also important to remain in constant communication with our clients. We will use phone, email, IM (AOL, MSN, or Yahoo), and Slate Center to remain in constant contact with you. Slate Technology will provide staging areas where you can access and review application development. Slate Technology will at every moment glean your feedback as development proceeds to fine tune production and finalize completion. We will work with you to evaluate all development, making sure we have met all requirements. And we will supply project documentation covering all aspects of code development and code implementation.

Slate Technology strives for excellence. During all steps in our development process you should feel that we are 110% committed to creating robust, dynamic, and user friendly software applications.
