Software Development

At TDK, we're not looking to reinvent the wheel. Our approach to software development is simple: get it done right, the first time.

TDK’s focus is on designing software which meets your business needs and seamlessly integrates with existing systems, not on revolutionizing software development methodology. Some firms simply package a collection of common development processes into a "unique" approach which they sell to clients as a one size fits all solution. Others routinely push their clients into software templates which are then patched and extended to meet the client's needs. In contrast, TDK knows that the business needs must drive the software development approach. Thanks to TDK's resources and extensive background in software development, you can rest assured that the ideal technology solution to your business problem won't be obscured by an inflexible approach.

Process

For many years, process experts have been defining and refining software development methodology. TDK understands that these processes ultimately come down to:

• Understanding the requirements - What is the client's business and what are the key objectives? What is the business problem, and how can we apply technology to solve it?
• Drilling the requirements down to technical detail - It is critical to understand the client's current technical environment and assess how the current needs fit into that environment. Are there tools in place that can be leveraged in the solution?
• Designing the solution - Based on the business and technical requirements, design the detailed approach for building the application.
• Building it - Execute the design created in the previous step.
• Testing it - Testing is critical to the success of any IT project. Confirmation that the application meets the business requirements, is well-built and will scale as the business requires can only be achieved through solid, well-planned testing.
• Implementing it - The application is installed in the client's environment. Proper documentation for support and future enhancement to the application is delivered as well.

TDK doesn't let a commitment to a certain methodology dictate the solutions it provides. Whether it requires RUP, Agile, or any other methodology, TDK will select the right process to develop your software.
