Please take a look at our Web Design section for more information on integrated systems and web enabled software. The software development lifecycle that HSL adopt is detailed below.

• Your existing system is evaluated and deficiencies are identified. This is done by interviewing users of the system and consulting with support personnel.
• The new system requirements are defined. In particular, the deficiencies in the existing system are addressed with specific proposals for improvement.
• The proposed system is designed. Plans are laid out concerning the physical construction, hardware, operating systems, programming, communications, and security issues.
• The new system is developed. The new components and programs are obtained and installed. Users of the system are trained in its use, and all aspects of performance are tested. If necessary, adjustments must be made at this stage.
• The system is put into use (implemented). This is done in various ways depending on initial analysis of existing system and working patterns.
• The new system can be phased in, according to application or location, and the old system gradually replaced.
• In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to shut down the old system and implement the new system all at once.
• Once the new system is up and running for a while, it is exhaustively evaluated. Maintenance is kept up rigorously at all times.

Customers

Our customers range from manufacturing companies to universities and professionals. Many are household names, and most are well known within their sector.

If you are considering using HSL for bespoke software development we will be happy to provide reference sites in business similar to your own.

As a typical bespoke software customer, you're probably either a decision maker in a large corporate that has IT staff who are too busy handling network and software package support rather than software development, or a business owner with big plans for your business but no time or inclination to get involved in developing software yourself. HSL becomes your partner, working closely with you to provide the specialist expertise and dedicated development resource that you do not have in-house.
