Software Development Approach
The development of these AIDC software solutions requires systematic approach by way of studying the existing processes, development of total solution, identifying data collection hardware, system integration approach.
We follow the following software development methodology to achieve the desired objective from an AIDC solution:

The first step in delivering a custom software solution begins with technical consultation and establishing in broad terms the customer’s day-to-day business processes. From the beginning, our analysts work closely with front-line workers, spending time with Operations and IT staff and interviewing Management team to understand the business challenges and strategic business goals.
Working hand-in-hand with customer’s staff, BCIL analysts helps to identify ways to achieve the business goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. Because on-going communication is a key component of a successful solution, BCIL’s analysts also work to ensure that both parties have thorough understanding of the final requirements.

In the Analysis and Design phase, BCIL works with the customer to design a solution that meets the requirements determined during the technical consultation. A blueprint is established that clearly and completely outlines business requirements.
When analysis of precise needs is complete, the BCIL Software team will design a specification that provides a detailed picture of solution. This includes the complete scope of the application and various hardware components required in the complete solution. If necessary, we create a prototype of the application, prior to beginning actual development of the software. The actual software development will only start after we conduct a formal design review with the entire team. When customer is satisfied that the recommended approach meets the needs, the project moves into the next phase.

In the Development Phase, the in-house team of BCIL programmers and testers create the application that addresses customer requirements. After the team provides a project plan that details key milestones and task level progress, the project manager will notify customer as the team reaches each milestone.
During software development, our quality assurance engineers work with the customer to develop test plans that exercise all the features of the system. This plan not only specifies that each component be thoroughly tested, but also includes rigorous testing of the entire application. As the development phase nears completion, BCIL encourages end-user to participate in testing the application.

During the Implementation and Integration phase the BCIL Software team supports the field testing of the system as part of their pilot support. BCIL’s system consultants work closely with the software team during this phase to assure a smooth rollout of the complete hardware, software, and communications solution. When customer is satisfied that the software meets the needs, the project moves into the integration and training phase. As customer begins to develop the training program, we offer a wide array of services. Using a variety of media (presentations, demos, user manuals etc.), we can design a complete training package and administer the entire program. Or we can deliver Train-the-Trainer sessions and offer guidance to the in-house staff in creating a program that’s best for customer.

We, at BCIL stand behind our products and pride ourselves on providing on-going support after the sale. We are available to help you with any enhancements or modifications required as the business needs grow and change.
