Software Requirements Determination and Documentation
Defining and documenting software requirements is vital to the success of systems development effort. To be effective, requirements should be actionable, measurable, testable, and clearly defined so that the actions of development team and end-users are aligned.
We have seen what can happen when users and developers have differing interpretations of the requirements or when communication among the teams is ineffective. Another challenge is not realizing or understanding the capability of the technology being used. The Integrity Partners team can help bridge this gap by acting as an objective participant in the project oversight process. Our team members have backgrounds in various disciplines, including systems, project management, and accounting. We are well versed in both “system-ese” as well as “functional-ese”. When both the developers and users are in sync and have a strong mutual understanding of the requirements, success follows.
Data Interface Engineering
(Includes Interface Requirements Specifications, Memorandums of Agreement, and Standard Data Management)
Today’s systems do not operate in a vacuum. Rather they interface with myriad other systems both internal and external. The advantages of using a data interface include efficiencies, timeliness of information updates, and data integrity.
The Integrity Partners team has significant experience in building and designing system interfaces. For a number of our clients, our professionals have built an integrated system that seamlessly interfaces with disparate data sources from mature legacy systems and provides a migratory path for new web-based applications. We worked closely with each client’s subject matter experts (SMEs) from each legacy system to determine the data and format requirements for each interface.
