Business Software Design & Development
Fox Wyndrum's four-step process defines the scope of a project while at the same time providing a means of measuring its progress and evaluating results during the development cycle - not at completion. The project documentation clearly identifies responsibility and accountability from the start and creates an open forum for review for our clients and the Fox Wyndrum project team.
4 Step Development Process
 System Needs Analysis
Clearly define the scope of the project and its intended returns. Describe anticipated components including data, reporting, communication, storage and access.
Deliverable: System Requirements Document
 System Design
Document system architecture to field-level detail with full functionality narratives and screen and output examples. Research and evaluate 3rd party tools and data sources. Assess platform requirements.
Deliverable: Programming Specifications Document
 Development Plan
Present recommendations for development tools and 3rd party software and platform requirements. Provide timeline and estimate for project completion and production implementation.
Deliverable: Development Plan and Estimate
 Database & Application Development and Delivery
Produce and test database and application per specifications. Build application environment and integrate external components. Establish procedures for regular data acquisition, extraction and delivery.
Deliverable: As determined in the approved Programming Specifications Document
Within the database or application development process lurk many factors that determine the success or failure of a project. Too many organizations spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars creating the "perfect" application only to have it fail to run smoothly for a host of reasons, from incomplete analysis to inadequate hardware to company politics. Whether your company needs an operation-wide, integrated application or just enhancements to existing systems, Fox Wyndrum Associates will help your company avoid the "only-if's".

Still others leverage robust data resources to provide real-time customer support via online order and account access.
