How we work

Cooperation models

Full process outsourcing

Innowise offers the full-fledged development team to work on all the stages of the software development process. We form a team depending on the specifics of the project, industry, and technology stack. Our company takes sole responsibility for team management, project risks, and final product quality while providing you with all the necessary tools for daily control over the task execution processes.

The full-service outsourcing model is the best option if you don’t have your software development department, lack needed expertise, or want to concentrate on core operations.

IT staff augmentation

Our company can provide fully staffed teams or individual IT professionals to contribute to your software development project under your direct management. Having a large team of 1600+ IT experts, we help our customers enrich their in-house IT departments with our developers, QA engineers, architects, business analysts, project managers, etc. Due to the low employee attrition rate and fast team ramp-up, we ensure the highest level of services provided under the team augmentation model.

IT staff augmentation can benefit you the most if your company needs to expand the human resource base and fill up internal team expertise.

Pricing model

Time and Material

Under the T&M model, you pay for man-hours dedicated to your project and reimburse additional expenses if they occur. The payment structure is discussed individually and most often coincides with the main stages of the project.

Time and Material is perfect for projects based on the Agile software development frameworks, as the scope of work and the team size can change.

Fixed price

Material remuneration is established during negotiations before the start of the project and is not subject to any changes. There are also tight deadlines for the scope of work and payments.

The Fixed Price model is most effective and most often applied in projects with a Waterfall software development model since there’s a clear plan of project execution process that is unlikely to be altered.

Dedicated Team

The model implies hiring a team of IT professionals on the monthly basis starting from 0.5 FTE (full-time equivalent). The DT model helps to avoid all the risks and additional costs related to the employee management process.

The model is the best option for long-lasting projects where you need particular IT specialists to be part of your team for a reasonable cost.

Software development process

Throughout the 17-years professional activity, we have elaborated the typical steps of the software development process. Some stages may vary depending on the specifics of the solution being developed, the chosen cooperation model, and software development methodology.

01 Requirement elicitation Our team gathers all functional requirements to estimate the project cost and scope of work.

02 Contract negotiation We discuss all the contract terms, setting the cooperation and pricing models, deadlines, and working processes.

03 Design and prototyping Our team creates a UI/UX design and defines the core functionality of the product.

04 Architecture building We build preliminary solution architecture to provide a comprehensive vision of software capabilities.

05 Iteration planning We define the objectives, tasks and deadlines for each iteration.

06 Requirements walkthrough Our team produces detailed requirements for specific project stages or product features.

07 Daily meetings We hold daily online meetings to monitor the stages of the software development life cycle.

08 Coding Engineers perform the process of writing software code.

09 Unit testing Developers test individual units of the source code for proper and efficient operation.

10 Quality assurance QA engineers test the product for security, bugs and verifying functionality.

11 Solution deployment DevOps engineers cover continuous integration, deployment and delivery processes.

12 Maintenance and support We ensure the stable and continuous operation of the developed software.

Software development methodologies

At Innowise, we leverage various software development life cycle models, be they linear or Agile, to ensure the smooth working processes and bring the most value to our clients.

Waterfall

The development process consists of successively passing phases. Each stage can be started only after the previous one is completely finished. The model can be effectively used on small and middle-sized projects with clear functional requirements. It’s best suited to projects where tough deadlines, comprehensive documentation, and predictable budgets are must-have requirements.

For example, we used Waterfall while working on the development of the e-payment ecosystem for a government financial regulator.

Scrum

Our experience has proven that Scrum is currently one of the most popular Agile frameworks. It’s based on an iterative approach, constant customer-vendor communication, and high development speed. Under Scrum, all work scope is divided into sprints ranging from two to a maximum of four weeks in duration, with exact start and end dates. Due to tight time frames, difficult tasks have to be divided into smaller ones, so the team learns faster.

Scrum is applicable for nearly every project. For instance, we used it to deliver the remote patient monitoring platform.

Kanban

At the heart of Kanban is a continuous workflow structure that makes IT teams flexible and allows them to adapt to changing priorities. Work tasks are represented by cards on a Kanban board where they can be moved from one stage of the workflow to another. There is no regular schedule or predefined deadlines, therefore updates are released as they are ready.

Kanban ensures high mobility of the team, therefore it is very common in modern project management. This was one of the main reasons we picked it to develop the fleet management system.

Security

Innowise attaches particular importance to cybersecurity and data protection issues. We are constantly improving the internal security system relying on the latest technological advances in this area.

Information security policy

Our company created the information security policy that regulates the protection of internal data, customer data, and project-related data.

Employee training

Employees who work with personal data go through several kinds of training, including introductory training, recurrent training, and targeted training.

Physical access control

The buildings in which the premises of the company are located are equipped with locking systems, video cameras, and round-the-clock security posts.

Compliance with regulations

Our software development processes ensure compliance with governmental and international regulations (ISO 9001, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FDA, CGMP, PSD2, etc.)

Employee policy

We believe that our team is the most valuable resource of the company because our employees determine its growth and achievements. Therefore, we pay special attention to employee recruitment and development processes.

Innowise Lab

Employee development program

Labour practices

We have created an internship for students and IT beginners who want to deepen their knowledge of a particular technology, gain practical development experience, and widen their expertise to join the Innowise’s team. Innowise Student Lab helps us bring on board the most talented students of technical universities and turn them into highly qualified IT specialists. The project is an integral part of a long-term development plan and one of the most valuable investment projects of our company.

We have an in-house training program that aims to continually improve the skills of our employees. It has many directions, including technology activities, manager development programs, corporate training courses, etc. Thus, thanks to the program, our employees have the opportunity to attend profile meetups, conferences, and English courses offline and online. One of the most important areas of our program is the creation of our innovative development teams. They consist of the most experienced employees with vast expertise in particular technological and business domains. The innovative development teams aim at sharing specific knowledge across the company and continuous improvement of the developed software quality.

Innowise tends to keep their employees in good professional shape, creating all the necessary conditions for comfortable work. Thus, we create a positive impression of the company and ensure a low staff attrition rate.
