A Clearer Definition of Success
The success of an engagement isn't limited to the final functionality of the application. A truly successful engagement is one that provides you with an efficient development process that makes manageable long-term maintenance a priority.
Successful development begins with proven, established processes that can be adapted and customized to meet your needs. That's where HP excels. In addition, our personnel are unsurpassed when it comes to designing quality applications, extensions and enhancements that support your organization's business and technical needs.
The Flexibility Your Project Needs
Our proprietary Project Management Methodology (PM2) maintains a focus on efficiency and quality. This methodology:
- Supports cost control
- Reduces risk
- Accelerates time to market for new services
- Is combined with industry program and project standards such as PMBOK to provide additional value and quality
PM2 supports best-in-class, faster applications development with the lowest possible risk because it organizes, integrates and manages the execution of global common process sets. This process repository, Global Applications Delivery Quality Management System (GAD QMS), is our applications delivery portal. As the single location for repeatable applications processes, GAD QMS facilitates consistent delivery of sound solutions.
GAD QMS maintains the processes, tools, roles, responsibilities and rigor needed to deliver high-quality applications. Still, it is flexible enough to integrate with your standards and methodologies while continuing to satisfy the intent of the original procedure, standard or template.
For applications that are more broad-based or transformational, we apply an “eg” approach that ensures an optimal balance of speed, cost and quality throughout the development process. The overall objective is to provide a framework that supports the quickest possible deployment, without sacrificing quality or functionality.
In some cases, market or business conditions necessitate an even more urgent deployment. When that happens, you can respond quickly and effectively with our Adaptive (Iterative and Agile) Approaches. These approaches greatly streamline the process by focusing only on the most critical issues at hand to manage risk and deliver high value functionality more quickly. This development approach uses clearly defined layers to isolate and address specific conditions or inevitable change.
Whatever path your project takes, HP is committed to moving at the speed of business, without jeopardizing quality, security or maintainability – while minimizing the impact on your day-to-day operations.
Draw Upon a World of Resources
Whether you need a team to handle a specific development project or you're considering expanding your development and technical team beyond your own staff, HP gives you access to 56,000 applications resources on six continents.
From business and industry analysts to project managers, our Applications Delivery resources are trained and proficient in the use of global processes and methodologies. Our Best Shore® strategy lets you tap the resources of qualified professionals in over 100 facilities worldwide. The Right Sourcing and Best Shore® approaches gives you quick access to the right capabilities from the right locations per your needs, while allowing you to control cost, improve efficiencies, implement services more rapidly and promote continuous improvement.
Our centers of excellences specialize in specific technologies, programming languages, data integrity, and migration and process management (for example, Java, .NET, Program & Project Management, Data Engineering and Testing). All operate at CMMI Level 5 and 3.
Technology Expertise Drives Agility and Quality
Being “infrastructure aware” is critical for your application architecture. Because development processes are driven by technology, creating quality, agile applications requires deep technological knowledge. Our applications centers of excellence provide the required depth of knowledge to deliver software solutions through rapid development cycles and global standard application frameworks. This allows us to choose the appropriate development methodology along with the tools and accelerators associated with a specific technology stack to create a complete development solution. This solution integrates the developers, requirements and technology in an efficient and controlled environment.
Developing secure applications is a key goal for HP in reducing risk and providing additional value to clients. We recognize that quality is more than creating stable and functional applications. Application software must be developed in a way that is designed to prevent against threats and vulnerabilities (such as identity theft) that could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Our development approaches combine assessments, threat modeling, compliance reviews and industry tools with process, standards, discipline and training to produce secure and robust applications. Building in secure features at the time of development not only mitigates vulnerability risks, but also reduces the network security operational overhead, lowering TCO.
We extend our technology expertise through our Agility Alliance program, as we partner with leading vendors to offer best-in-class solutions using the latest technologies and advancements. We also provide development for legacy applications, extending and integrating existing technologies to bring additional value to your organization.
