The Process
In order to maximize the success of a project, Front Porch works with you to understand where your business is today and where you want it to go. It doesn’t matter how small or large the project, clearly determining what you wish to accomplish is where we start. This requires a detailed understanding of the overall objectives from both a technical and business perspective. We work with you to sort through the overall goals, time-frames, business requirements, user requirements and the budget available for the project.
Based on the outcome of this analysis, Front Porch creates a consultation plan and scopes the necessary work for the project. Our commitment is to maintain an objective point of view so as to focus on your core necessities, keep the project on schedule, and not wander from the main objectives.
