Rapid Application Development (RAD) |
First Step describes RAD as a development process, scaled for
small teams using appropriate technology that delivers useful functionality.
RAD Benefits include:
- Provides an approach to building and integrating computer systems
- Delivers usable, although partial, systems -- typically in 90 day increments
- Combines tools, techniques, user-centered problem analysis, prototyping and strict delivery timeframes
- Allows you to better manage risk
- Enables you to more quickly adapt to changing business and competitive conditions
Unlike some other RAD approaches, the one taken by First Step works with your
technical and business environment. RAD efforts from other companies may limit
you to using a particular tool set, database or client/server architecture. Or
they may not weave together people, technology and process as the First
Step RAD strategy does. In addition, First Step applies the RAD approach in a
way that is both method and tool independent. That means that our specialists
can define and develop the solution that fits your needs...not just a solution
that sells a tool or a platform or that takes the "one size fits all" approach
to client/server architecture.
