Software development
We build your business-critical (web) applications
You naturally want to meet your organization’s needs as well as possible and ensure that processes run as smoothly as possible. For that, you need reliable software you can depend on.
Without it, productivity, customer satisfaction, data security, scalability, and flexibility suffer. That is why bespoke software is especially important to ensure that everything aligns with your needs. With SIENN as your software development service provider, you increase your efficiency, productivity, and competitive advantage. Bespoke software also gives your organization the flexibility to respond quickly to changing market needs.
Start with the foundation
Bespoke software
We develop software with your results in mind. We design, develop, deliver and support business-critical applications based on your needs. We always deliver tailor-made solutions, and always through collaboration. That is why we involve you in the development process as often as you want, work transparently at all times, and document everything we do.
At SIENN, we strive for long-term and close collaboration. The Business Consultant is your right hand. They translate your business question into what is ultimately developed. At SIENN, you always receive a bespoke solution that specifically aligns with your needs, requirements, and preferences through custom software development. Built on a robust Microsoft foundation and based on six core areas: Program Management, Teams, Templates, Controlling, Communication, and Methodology. The starting point is therefore always the question ‘What is your business strategy?’
This is our approach:
Our software development process
At SIENN, we adapt dynamically to your organization and needs. Together, we define the objectives and the right strategy. With a pragmatic approach, we map everything that matters: departments, processes, systems, protocols, and communication. Together we decide in which order to implement solutions.
We work agile and divide work into small parts and deliver usable results on a regular basis. Instead of planning everything in advance, we work in short sprints of two to four weeks.
● We work closely together and stay in contact.
● We easily adapt to changes or new insights.
● After each step, we deliver a working product.
● Our teams make decisions themselves.
This results in faster outcomes and better collaboration. We deliver value throughout the entire process. Read more about it in our SIENN Blueprint.
Requirements analysis and planning
Requirements analysis and planning are a crucial part of enterprise software development. We conduct this analysis in a flexible and iterative context. We start by creating a product backlog in which we prioritize all requirements, features, and tasks.
We then assess the importance of each feature for the final product. These requirements, known as user stories, describe specific functionalities from the end user’s perspective. Our development team estimates the effort for each user story and builds a plan around them. We work in sprints of approximately two weeks, during which the team focuses on selected user stories while daily stand-ups track progress. Feedback is continuously incorporated.
Design and development
In this phase of the software development process, the development team translates the defined requirements and user stories into concrete designs and code. The process begins with sprint planning, in which the team selects user stories to implement during the sprint.
During the sprint, the team works closely together to optimize the design and write the required code. Through daily stand-up meetings, we ensure regular communication and resolve any obstacles. At the end of each sprint, we deliver a working version of the software. We also hold a review and demonstrate the delivered functionality. In this way, we can quickly respond as a team to changing needs and priorities, and we gradually develop and optimize the software. This allows you to quickly receive usable software.
Quality assurance and validation
During the development process, we always perform quality tests. There is also room for feedback from stakeholders and team members to ensure that everyone supports the delivered software. Quality tests and feedback are integrated throughout the development phase to ensure that the software always meets the required standards and expectations. This already starts in the early stages of the development process.
Together, we define the standards and acceptance criteria that must be met to deliver high-quality software. These may include functional aspects, performance requirements, and security measures. During development, our development team regularly performs various tests to ensure that these criteria are met. We also hold regular demonstrations and feedback sessions in which the user interface, functionality, and performance are evaluated. The goal is to ensure that the software delivers the intended value to end users. Any changes or additions are incorporated into the further development process. This ensures that the software meets the quality requirements and expectations of the stakeholders.
Implementation and maintenance
After the development phase, the implementation and maintenance phase begins. Our development team deploys the software to the production environment. Sometimes we do this in stages, gradually rolling out new features.
We monitor any implementation issues or bugs and ensure that the new software integrates seamlessly with existing systems and that users experience a smooth transition. We also aim for continuous improvement. Our development team continues to work on resolving bugs, optimizing performance, and implementing new features based on user feedback. Based on an SLA, you can always rely on us for maintenance.
