Developing Software is a complex and risky undertaking.

According to a leading authority on Software, several studies show that :

• about one QUARTER of all Software projects are CANCELED, due to SCHEDULE and COST OVERRUNS,
• about HALF are delivered LATE, OVER BUDGET or BOTH and
• only about one QUARTER are delivered ON TIME !

What does this imply for you when choosing a Software Partner ?
Simply this – Choose your Software Partner with extreme care, or else run the significant risk of failure !

At Astutec^TM, we have spent considerable time painstakingly researching from several sources, the best Software Engineering Processes and the latest Software Technologies.

We have attempted to obtain rock-solid answers for several critical Software Engineering questions, including the following :

• What works and what doesn't ?
• What are the essential features a Software Engineering Process should have, for the Project to be a success ?
• Which Software Technology features should be utilized and how, and which should be avoided and why ?

Accordingly, separating the wheat from the chaff, we have meticulously prepared a Software 'Process Exemplar' and Technology Best Practices that work ... and work exceptionally well.

The following are Key drivers of our Software Development services :
