Data Engineering

Together with you, we set priorities and expectations, carefully scope and plan the delivery strategy for your project, identify project roadmap, and fine-tune business processes to ensure everything is transparent and easy to track down.

By designing the change management strategy, we achieve flexibility and balance across business needs, risks, and budget. We do also recognize the necessity to identify potential risks, thoroughly assess their impact on the project, and develop a plan to mitigate the consequences of these risks. We develop a quality management strategy to satisfy the expectations related the project’s deliverables, their performance, and workflows. Finally, we establish a strategy for efficient and customer-oriented communication.

We develop the application’s design and architecture in compliance with the customer’s business goals and plans for the project’s evolution—to ensure sufficient scalability and performance as the solution matures. Depending on what a customer wants to achieve, we deliver a proof of concept, minimum viable product, or a production-grade app.

A Proof of Concept helps to validate whether the chosen architecture serves you business needs, identify weak aspects, and improve them. A Minimum Viable Product will help you to get early feedback from end users and justify feasibility. A Production-Grade App delivered in accordance with the 12-factor app principles, as well as best practices of microservice-based architecture and continuous integration / delivery. This approach allows for building competitive functionality to enter the market at a fast pace.

To ensure efficiency, we choose a development methodology that best fits your needs—either Agile or Kanban. We build a solution in accordance with the guidelines established at the previous stages: a clear set of expectations, a properly defined and tested architecture, and a delivery plan negotiated. During this stage, we do not only code and unit-test the application, but develop specifications and test plans.

The QA team starts working with the developers at early stages to work out an overall test strategy and understand how to test individual complex modules, if any. To ensure sufficient performance and high availability, we shake down the application and stabilize it prior to a release.

Altoros has an in-house test lab with 100+ virtual machines, as well as 40+ tablet and mobile devices. For testing web, desktop, and mobile applications, the lab is equipped with a variety of server and client operating systems.

Having 26 QA engineers at its disposal, Altoros provides a full range of software testing services, such as manual and automated functional, compatibility, UI, localization, and load testing.

We do believe in building trustful relationships through close communication—daily status meetings, weekly meetings, and demos help us to achieve full transparency through the process. Based on your feedback, we resume the development process for further changes or move it into the deployment stage.

We do not just develop the software, we make sure it smoothly integrates with your existing workflows. For this purpose, we build a knowledge base to transfer it to your in-house teams, so they won’t have trouble while interacting with the new software.

Establishing trusted, long-term relationships is top priority for us. We nourish our partnerships to keep the ball rolling even after the product is launched. You can always count on us for software maintenance and support, as well as further сustomization.

We enable audit of the existing solutions to detect their weak points at any level (e.g., security, performance, etc.) and deliver recommendations for improvement. You can rely on us to address the issues identified or mitigate them by your own forces. Furthermore, we help you to develop new functionality, which brings even more business value, or migrate to a new, cloud-based technology stack once yours no longer satisfies your needs.
