Software Development

Flexible engagement models to custom fit your specific needs.

A major strength of our company is the flexibility in which we work with our clients. We provide a number of engagement models that can be adapted on a client or project basis to leverage our Offshore Development Center. In 2007, we established our Offshore Development Center (ODC) in Chengdu, China to provide comprehensive outsourcing capabilities for software development and maintenance. Our approach to success is “right-sizing” our delivery teams to effectively collaborate with our client’s engineering staff and resources and provide an effective information flow to our ODC to ensure project success. Our commitment to quality and overall project success drive both modes of engagement.

Software Development Models

Strategic Outsourcing – This is a strategic relationship with our clients to outsource all their software development and maintenance needs. This approach utilizes an onsite consulting team to work with our clients through the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process. Our consultants perform all the necessary analysis, design, and coordinate with the ODC to ensure application delivery for all sofware applications.

Alternative Development Center (ADC) – ADC approach was established for our clients that prefer a larger role in the SDLC process. Our ODC will provide engineering services that will implement and maintain software components as directly defined by the client. The client onsite team may be augmented by experienced consultants to achieve desired team composition.

Development Outsourcing – Project-based outsourcing model.

Maintenance Outsourcing – Application-specific maintenance outsourcing model.

Integrations & Reporting

A proven onsite-offshore model for delivering high-quality BI solutions at lower costs.

On average, our clients can expect to save more than 30% of the total cost for BI. Our services range from data warehouse design, to data integration, to report development and advanced analytics.

Our data integration and reporting services can address multiple areas within the enterprise

• Building a Data Warehouse

• Building an Operational Data Store

• Application Integration – For internal or newly acquired systems

Within these areas, the integration services can provide the following

• Data consolidation – From existing operational systems.

• Data cleansing – To improve data quality.

• Transformation – From its source structure and values to derivatives that fit into the target model.

• Data delivery – Basic movement of data from source to destinations throughout the enterprise (internal and external systems). Once data has been integrated, Report development services can provide the means to build reports to address enterprise needs.

Typical subject areas include

• Operational reporting

• Analytical reports

KPI / Dashboards

With a dual-shore model, the data integration and reporting development services are tightly monitored and seamlessly integrated with work effort from our onsite team and the client. Planning, complex design, and business requirements are performed onsite with our client. This work provides key artifacts such as an enterprise data model, identification of data sources, and data mappings designs, providing a blueprint for the offshore team to complete the implementation.

Business Intelligence Technologies

Stemetric IT Solutions uses popular BI platforms such as MicroStrategy, Business Objects, and Cognos. For data integration services, Stemetric IT Solutions prefers Informatica and Pentaho. However, we can work with any BI tools you are currently using.

Service Oriented Architecture

Deep SOA experience and engineering capability to assist with your SOA needs.

Since 2004, we have enabled our clients to plan, implement, and deploy business critical commerce solutions that leverage SOA systems. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can empower a company to quickly adapt to changing business needs and allow for optimal use of existing IT investment. Additionally, adapting to an SOA model allows enterprises to more easily integrate new services and upgrade existing services to address new business requirements.
