The design, development and deployment of custom software applications has been the foundation of Praxa's business since the organisation started in 1982. It continues to be a core competency today.
Praxa's aim is to assist its clients in addressing their real business needs through their use of innovative and appropriate information technologies.
PROMISE - Praxa's Process For Delivering Solutions
The capacity to deliver these quality solutions is based on Praxa's flexible and adaptive processes that enable it to respond effectively to its clients' requirements and maintain control of the project. These processes are defined in PROMISE - Praxa's Open Methodology for Information Systems Engineering. The creation and implementation of PROMISE is the result of Praxa's many years of experience developing successful custom-designed applications. PROMISE is an ISO9001 certified process and is itself subject to a continual improvement process to ensure that Praxa's capacity to deliver excellence in software development has the agility to both create and respond to the changing world.
PROMISE defines the project management, analysis, design, software development, testing, deployment, quality, and support processes that enable Praxa to effectively deliver innovative systems using state-of-the-art tools and development techniques.
Praxa's Development Teams
Praxa provides experienced business analysts and technical architects who work in partnership with our clients to ensure that business requirements are accurately encapsulated and communicated. Quality solutions are then designed and developed by the company's own team of skilled developers, testers, support staff and project managers. This team has developed award-winning expertise in all aspects of Microsoft technologies and maintains an on-going partnership relationship with Microsoft. In addition, the software engineering teams have significant experience and expertise across a broad range of other platforms including UNIX, Linux, and Open VMS.
Praxa is therefore able to offer its clients a comprehensive software engineering approach to provide quality end-to-end business and IT integration solutions, interfaces to other IT systems, customisation and implementation of third-party software products, and custom software development.
Praxa's project management and client delivery teams utilise disciplined but agile processes in order to exceed client expectations and to ensure the transfer of project deliverables in the most successful and efficient manner. Transparency and integrity in communication provide the basis for projects to be managed in close liaison with the customer so as to facilitate the best outcomes with respect to the quality, schedule, and cost objectives of the projects. At the same time these processes provide the flexibility to adapt to the rapid changes experienced in the business world.
