INGENIUM
InGenium is founded by a team of highly experienced software architects, web designers and consultants. inGenium delivers business value through pooling the expertise gained from a wealth of industry knowledge.
This holistic approach has allowed inGenium to develop innovative strategies for applications that can be applied to a range of digital mediums and technologies. On any project, we take the time to understand your business needs and those of your clients in order to deliver successful software solutions, since a problem can only ever be partly solved through software alone.
Our unique skill mix has enabled us to develop a significant amount of our own intellectual property over the years and where appropriate, we have shortened the delivery cycle by introducing best practice, experienced specialist consultants.
We can also provide pre-built components that add tremendous value to the end user experience while reducing overall development costs.
Our Approach
Before we make any recommendations within any project, it is important that we clearly understand your?business goals?for the project, the end users needs and preferences and their relationship with the current technology. Our approach to the requirements gathering is broken down into a number of specific engagement steps which are all under-pinned by our understanding of a user-centred design approach, focusing our design effort on the end users needs both from an external and internal perspective.
We believe that it’s critical that we work collaboratively with your team to ensure that you will be able to maintain and grow the technology once launched. Therefore, apart from the practicality of the time frame for the project, our approach provides the knowledge transfer and skills development needed to maintain this important channel of communication and service delivery.
Our approach clearly balances the needs of users with those of the business. Therefore, we use our analysis tools to delve into both sides of the equation and use our user-centred design approach to deliver a technology sympathetic to the end user. Program of works – a roadmap to success
Our approach provides an overall strategic program of works that target specific tactical tasks in a phased manner to control costs, timeframe and to ensure user requirements are met (or exceeded) whilst minimising the impact to other areas of the organisation. Our overall approach helps with the necessary change management practices required to increase the utilisation of technologies and free resources for higher value activities across the organisation.
Our approach is broken down into specific phases allowing for each aspect of the project to define the project stages.
Web Development Process
There are numerous steps in the web site design and development process. From gathering initial information, to the creation of your web site, and finally to maintenance to keep your web site up to date and current.
1. Discover
The first step in designing a successful web site is to gather information about your project or company. Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and feel of your site, so we first ask a lot of questions to help us understand your business and your needs in a web site.
2. Planning & Proposal
Using the information gathered from phase one, we put together a complete project plan for your web site. This is also the point where we decide what technologies should be implemented.
3. Web Design
In this phase we start drawing from the information gathered up to this point, we determine the look and feel of the web site. We also incorporate elements such as the company logo or colors to help strengthen the identity of your company on the web site. Once we’ve designed a prototype, you are given access to a secure area of your web site.
In this phase, communication is crucial to ensure that the final web site will match your needs and taste. We work together in this way, exchanging ideas, until we arrive at the final design for the site. Then development can begin…
4. Web Development
This is where the web site itself is created. We take all of the individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the functional web site. We also take your content and distribute it throughout the web site, in the appropriate areas.

This entire time, you will continue to be able to view your web site demo and suggest any additional changes or corrections you would like to have done.
5. Testing and Delivery
At this point, we attend to the final details and test your web site. We test things such as the complete functionality of forms or other scripts, we test for last minute compatibility issues (viewing differences between different web browsers), ensuring that the site is optimized to be viewed properly in the most recent browser versions. After we receive your final approval, we do the official launch of your web site.
6. Maintenance
The development of your web site is not necessarily over, though. One way to bring repeat visitors to your site is to offer new content or products on a regular basis. If this interests you, we will be more than happy to continue working together with you to update the information on your web site. We offer maintenance packages at reduced rates, based on how often you anticipate making changes or additions to your site.
Training and Support
At the closing stages of each project, we provide all the necessary training on core technologies and back office integration to ensure that your staff have the knowledge to facilitate on-going maintenance and integration with your other systems.
We also provide careful ongoing monitoring of the solution after going live to ensure that quality is maintained in the live environment with real users. We also continue to work with you in varying capacities to support the ongoing success of the solution ensuring that the right mix of services are provided as part of our ongoing partnership.
inGenium approach to the ongoing support and maintenance of the technologies is based on the foundation of a partnership between both organisations. A key element to this partnership is the transfer of knowledge to internal staff so that they act as “super users” of the solution. It is through this open support partnership that we are not only able to provide the support mechanisms for your team, but also focus on incremental enhancements to the solution. All software developed and implemented by inGenium is covered against defect by a warranty period which begins from the date of deployment. During the warranty period, issues raised that are determined to be defects will be corrected free of charge whilst all other support and maintenance will be charged according to our pre-arranged consulting rates.
