What We Do
Meridian is uniquely positioned to implement and deliver custom software solutions specific to business processes within your organization. At Meridian, we employ the best practices of the industry standard Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) methodology. SDLC allows us to implement custom solutions with the necessary milestones and sanity checks to maintain open communications which ensures that all teams are on one accord in effort to mitigate disconnects and communication failures.
During the planning phase of our SDLC practice, we define the scope of the implementation. Multiple sessions are held to review the stated business requirements. This is where we come up with timelines, milestones, projected cost and delivery dates.
Following the planning phase we start the analysis. This is where we define and analyze the business rules. During analysis, we come up with a high level technical approach to those business rules. This technical approach serves as a draft, pseudo design around the business rules identified. This facilitates early determination of problematic business rules which may necessitate further documentation of issues and assumptions around those business rules from a technical perspective.
The design phase is where we compose the design blueprints and various prototypes. Once the design is accepted, we move on to construction where system development activities commence. During construction, we institute periodic milestones where subsequent releases are deployed to a testing region for user acceptance testing and training activities. Once all testing activities have been signed-off and verified, we initiate project start-up; which involves cutover activities and production readiness review.
The final phase of Meridian’s SDLC methodology is the turnover phase where the system is turned over to your organization for full production use. In many cases, customers will engage in joint maintenance agreements with Meridian where Meridian’s IT staff works hand in hand with the client’s IT staff towards production support.
