BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT

Through this competency, Alacrity works in partnership with clients to facilitate and oversee the automation and enhancement

of their business processes, using technology appropriate to the clients’

business and technology landscape. We ensure that these processes are sustainable and effective, and that the client is capable of maintaining and enhancing them as and

when needed going forward.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Alacrity has developed Alacrity’s Way of Working (AWOW) as an iterative

and incremental project management methodology based on proven agile principles.

AWOW is a conceptual overlay that enables project teams to integrate with clients’

practices and methodologies and to select a best-fit approach.

ENTERPRISE AND SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE

At Alacrity, we combine industry knowledge with strong technical skills to fulfill our clients’

architecture requirements. Our Systems Architects engage and work closely with

our clients’ IT teams to provide the technical support needed to find the right solution

to meet their business needs.

Alacrity’s Business Analysts are placed at client sites to be the intermediary between

the business and the IT department. Our team of Business Analysts have experience

in providing solutions for various organizations. The team invests its efforts

in understanding the client’s business needs to provide the best solutions.

DEVELOPMENT

Alacrity delivers quality custom developed technology solutions to suit each client’s unique domain and IT environment. We provide business

solutions through an in-house interactive development methodology, based on proven agile principles, called AWOW (Alacrity’s Way

of Working). We have extensive experience in Java, .NET and mobile technologies, in a range of applications, from web front-ends, to complex enterprise-scale back-end systems and integration, and the mobile applications that leverage these

corporate technology landscapes.

Local and Offshore Development ServicesAlacrity offers quality IT solutions that integrate with, and enhance, our local and offshore clients’ existing enterprise architecture. Clients benefit from our enterprise-wide competency-based skills, domain knowledge, technical expertise, and development capability.

We provide business solutions through an in-house iterative and incremental development methodology, based on proven agile principles, called AWOW (Alacrity’s Way of Working). We have extensive experience in both the Java and .NET technologies, in a range of applications, from web front-ends, to complex enterprise-scale back-end systems and integration.

Sunset / Legacy ManagementAlacrity’s roots are in legacy outsourcing. This service offers an ideal solution for organizations looking to sunset one or more of their legacy applications, whilst developing and implementing their next generation solutions.

Maintenance ContractingLeveraging off our pool of diverse skills allows us to realise economies of scale in systems support that our clients aren’t able to procure in their own environments.

Think it

Design it

Build it

Check it

Release itThe software is deployed or implemented during the ‘Release It’ stage.

During the ‘Check It’ stage, the software goes through User Acceptance testing until user approval is received.

The actual construction of the software happens in the ‘Build It’ stage. The development team will use SCRUM principles to manage the construction of the work.

The ‘Design It’ stage focuses on the business problem or requirement into a technology solution.

The ‘Think It’ stage concentrates on understanding the client’s business problem and needs.
