Goals

Principles

We need to collect knowledge

We know who must “sharpen the axe”

We are IT company, not customer

We can model, automate and optimize in correct way

Main goals

Speed up domain area analysis

Build fast development process

Make easy integration process

Provide processes optimal for customer

Re-use knowledge and solutions

Transformation Project

BEFORE AFTER

Divide et impera

• Business processes divided into components

• Component implemented as SaaS

• SaaS are clonable solutions

• Each service covers only one business unit



Approach

Easy to

tune

Easy to

supportEasy to put

together

Can be used

independently

Services

Can be developed

independently

Make processes

standardized

SaaS

Software-as-a-Service

All new solutions just a list of differences from basic solution

Customization of services as a way to build new products

New knowledge used to improve solution

accumulation and sharing.

Exigen Services process

Make estimations easier and precise

• Make GAP analysis and provide blueprints

• Estimations based on previous experience and templates

• Understanding actual customer’s needs

– Estimate real system to be build

– Foresee change requests

• Active role on creating and gathering requirements

• We can improve customer’s process based on our experience

– Estimations better since we do right things

• Phases based approach to provide solution as soon as possible

• Integration experience

– All the project activities accurately estimated



Estimation framework

Make development fast and effective

• Business analysis done before development

• Development based on completed software requirements

• Requirements are differences between backbone and solution

• Deep understanding of business process

• Product factory used to create application framework and provide basic

customization

• Knowledge accumulated in best practices, shared code, templates and

backbone updates

• Agile methodologies, often deliveries, fast feedback

• Independent tests design based on software requirements

• High level of work parallelization

• Transparent services improvements for multiple projects
