DISCOVERY

DESIGN
Our design approach focuses on deriving a set of architectural principles which map directly back to the business and technical drivers of the project. The architectural principles in combination with the project scope are then taken forward as the basis for validating the solution design and technology choices.
BUILD AND TEST
