Want to reduce errors in your software projects? While increasing quality and productivity?

Did you know that about 48% of all software projects end up with more than a 50% cost and time overrun? And that only 16% of projects are completed on time and within budget? Or that less than 8% of projects wind up with 100% of the features you specified? It’s no wonder when you think about your typical software development project. It includes thousands of code lines, files and documents, and numerous (sometimes too many) participants. As a result, configuration management tends to be a complicated challenge, and often leads to errors, and reduced quality and productivity. Solving these common problems requires a proven, methodological and automatic configuration management solution. Configuration Management (CM) is the most consistent method for developing high quality software products with minimal errors, and gives you the shortest time to market. Not surprisingly then, CM solutions grabbed the attention of many companies like yours faced with complex product lifecycles and change processes. CM promises to reduce development errors and project bottlenecks, increase the productivity of development teams, and improve your software’s overall quality. Tesnet Group’s CM services provide leading organizations with comprehensive and integrated CM solutions. These services have been designed to give you a solid return on investment, to dramatically improve development processes, and to shorten your development time and produce better results.

Implementing Configuration Management

A Configuration Management implementation includes the following activities:

Perform organizational & process mapping (related to CM) – We’ll research the current state of your processes and provide recommendations for improving development processes, work procedures and more.   Choose & implement a CM tool – According to the CM approach, we’ll select the most effective tool available, taking into account your technological environment, functional requirements and project scope. Implementing your tool might include modifications and adaptations to meet your exact requirements.   Customize work procedures – After we define your project’s CM approach and choose your CM tool, we’ll customize a set of work procedures to meet your specific requirements. To do this, we’ll draw on our existing best-practice and procedure-bank, as well as on the accumulated knowledge base from members of various development, testing and support teams.   Provide training – During this stage, we’ll customize and deliver a set of classes to all people involved with your project through its entire development lifecycle.   Implement and operate – Tesnet Group provides you with full support and assistance on the complete outsourced model, in managing the project, and through change and version management and audits.   Maintain – Your CM tool requires continuous maintenance after its initial implementation, and Tesnet provides complete post-implantation support.
