Expertise

GreenTree has grown our practice on a solid foundation of expertise. Our ability to provide a flexible, customer-responsive development methodology coupled with the in-depth skills of our development and QA teams and our proven customer communication plan allows GreenTree to provide customers with solutions that are successfully and rapidly deployed on-time and on-budget.

GreenTree’s methodology combines the best of the traditional Waterfall approach to software development with AGILE development principles to balance them to fit our customer’s needs. By defining comprehensive and complete requirements and organizing development into short cycles, we provide our customers with a rigorous coding and testing process to respond to their requirements.

Process-Driven Flexibility

GreenTree brings process to our flexibility. We ensure that our methodology maintains structure and documentation, allowing us to create well-documented, repeatable code while remaining flexible enough to meet the customer’s needs.

Feature-rich Rapid Prototypes

GreenTree utilizes rapid prototypes early in the development cycle to maximize interaction with the customer and keep product development on track with the customer’s desires. We rely heavily on the use of interactive prototypes to make sure that no design detail is left to chance. Rapid prototypes are interactive and contain all functionality defined in functional specifications, and therefore can be used to accurately simulate actual user experience.

Integrated Quality Assurance

Quality is part of each step of our software engineering processes, from the design of the solution to end user testing. GreenTree combines an automated testing process with our team of QA engineering experts, allowing us to minimize software regression and decrease the time necessary to deliver a customer-ready product. Ultimately, this saves our customers cost and time while providing a more thoroughly tested solution.

Solid Customer Communication

Communication is the single most important factor affecting project success. As such, GreenTree strives for effective, efficient communication in all aspects of the business relationship. From your initial contact with our team, we engage the client as an integral part of our development team, ensuring continuous, fluent communication across the board. A good communication process, supported by a good set of tools, enables GreenTree to manage expectations clearly and unambiguously to our clients.
