Eastern Enterprise follows a standardized software development methodology to provide cost-effective and efficient business solutions. The following steps are followed:

PHASE 1- REQUIREMENTS GATHERING

In an interactive session with the client specifications will be made. The outline and scope of the project will be defined, after which further details can be worked out by Eastern Enterprise in close collaboration with the responsible vendor. Implementations of the subsequent steps are discussed: The method of collaboration and communication are arranged and each party’s responsibilities are defined.

Further concretization will be realized by discussions and brainstorming sessions that help determine the business objectives and marketing goals.

PHASE 2 -TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

Technical Architects advise the client on options available to him with respect to architectural approaches and technology solutions for project implementation.

PHASE 3 - CONFIRMATION

Based on the architecture and technology chosen, the development team of Programmers, graphic designers and project managers draft a development plan for the project with cost and time estimates.

PHASE 4 -INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT

This is the stage where the project actually takes off the ground. Eastern Enterprise and its vendor build the application in progressive phases or increments. Incremental deliveries permit experimentation of complex solutions during the course of development. This approach facilitates modifications through hands-on exposure to the delivered increment. Thorough testing is a standard process during this phase.

PHASE 5 -HAND OVER SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION

This phase takes place after the delivery has been accepted by the client. After the final acceptance, the source code and corresponding documentation per phase are handed over to the client.
