The Sigma Micro Development Process

Creating comprehensive software, whether it is for the Internet or a standard for an in-house application, is a complex undertaking which requires total dedication to the success of the project.

Over the past two decades, Sigma Micro has championed a best-practices process that makes it possible for us to say that we have never had a failed installation. We call this process the Sigma Micro Development Process.

The Right Things at the Right Time

Our development process includes thorough planning, meticulous attention to detail and customer participation during all phases of a project. These factors combine to give us a success rate that is essentially unheard of in software development.

The Sigma Micro Development Process is an iterative, phase-gated methodology that covers every aspect of the software development lifecycle. From initial engagement through our concept and planning phases, to design, development, and testing to transition to our clients - the SMDP ensures that the right things happen at the right times. No more, no less.

The SMDP was designed specifically to ensure six outcomes from any development effort:

• Accelerated time to market
• Repeatability
• Reduced customer risk
• High quality
• Accountability
• Scalability

And while our six outcomes demand a robust internal process, our external program is quite simple.

Our Clients are Our Development Partners

One of the most important factors in our success is customer participation. Our customers are involved in every phase of each project. Starting with the original concept and continuing through planning, construction and installation, our customers are key team members. This approach to development helps ensure that the project is completed on time, on budget and meets the expectations of all stakeholders.
