Keys To Success
There is one common theme to the successes at BHI, namely, reduce technology risk by getting to market on time with a high quality application that meets the customer need.
[Rapid]
[Right-sizing]
[Synergism]
[Heritage]
BHI also measures its success in two other ways:
Deployment density
This measures the percentage of money which is spent with BHI that results in software that is completed, deployed, and used. In 1996 BHI's deployment density will be 94%. The industry average is closer to 25%.
Value of goods sold
This measures revenue/cost savings in products or software supported services that were entirely or substantially built by BHI. In 1996 BHI's customers will generate close to $40m based on software provided by BHI and the services which are supported by the software will directly or indirectly affect the lives of more than 15 million people. In addition, BHI delivered several important cost containment applications which are estimated to have saved over $10 million for its clients.
Rapid Development and Deployment of Software Applications
The window of opportunity for a product or service can be short-lived. BHI's small, high-performance software development teams mean that your application can be implemented in the marketplace -- fast!
Rapid development and development of software is the basis for the, BHI value proposition. It maintains that, by investing in software development early in a project's life cycle, you can expect to receive a payback on your investment quickly.
Since the time to release a product is less, a software solution can be implemented and revenue or cost containment realized. Without the focus and drive of BHI's team, your software application may take longer to develop and reach the market when it's less receptive. Staking your claim in a competitive marketplace demands the speed and precision BHI can provide.
Designed-in market success
There's no guarantee that your product concept will be accepted in the marketplace. However, BHI can give you every possibility of succeeding. You can take advantage of market opportunities quickly by employing a BHI team. Your time-to-market is shortened and your ability to capture market share is increased.
BHI's approach to software development resources is applied to your project. Small teams bring your application to fruition. BHI's industry-proven methodology means your software meets requirements. And, expert project management provides you with valuable information and guides you through the process.
This approach has successfully yielded deployed software that generates value for our clients-whether through cost containment or revenue enhancement. BHI can do wonders for your company's well-being and its bottom line.
Mission-critical applications
The way to gain maximum return on your investment in software is to put it to work! Studies show that, on average in the software development industry, less than 25 cents of every dollar invested results in software that is completed, deployed, and used. At BHI, 90 cents of every dollar invested results in software that is completed, deployed, and used. We take the risk out of mission-critical software.
BHI software teams are designed to execute your software project efficiently. The process is guided by managers who have extensive application domain experience. Whether your application involves mechanization, decision support or advanced automation, we have the technical expertise to support your needs. We also work in information technology, finance, and manufacturing.
Right-sized Engineering
BHI uses the right amount of process to get the job done-no more and no less. This process reflects our belief that the best software is developed by small, high-performance teams.
Process plus skill yields success
BHI believes that there is no substitute for skill as part of a high-performance development team. When this skill is blended with the right amount of process, success is inevitable. So...how much is the right amount of process? Our experience says that the amount of process to apply is influenced by the risk factors of the project, such as knowledge of the technology, understanding of the business domain, size of the development team, and experience of the development team.
When the risk is low, we apply a "lighter" process. This allows extremely rapid delivery of high-quality products and services. By contrast, as the risk increases, more traditional life cycle processes are used. The ability to scale our process according to the risk factors involved really sets BHI apart.
Small teams make it work
Today's business climate requires earlier ROI from software initiatives than traditional software development approaches can provide. Those approaches are too cumbersome. At Bolder Heuristics, Inc.(BHI), we take a unique approach to software engineering. We put together small, high-performance teams who focus on one project at a time. This leads to rapid development and deployment of high-quality software products and software-supported services.
Years of experience have proven that the most effective and productive software development team includes from three to seven people. The extremely high rate of deployed software we've developed lends credibility to this approach.
Over 90% of the software we develop ends up being deployed!
That's because members of small teams work together well and have a sense of ownership in your project. Small teams allow the perfect blending of talents: object-oriented application development, graphical user interface, database expert systems, communications, and overall systems architecture.
Your project receives the fullest attention and benefits from a synergy of expertise. The team becomes an extension of your organization, allowing your vision to become a reality.
Synergism of People and Technology
Developing software applications that effectively meet the demands of your industry requires a synergy between people and technology-along with application knowledge and industry expertise. Our experience enables us to strike the exquisite balance between timely market entry and the functionality necessary for your success.
Proactive project management makes a difference
We keep you informed during every phase of your project's life cycle. A project manager provides a single point of contact who communicates with you regarding project status, scheduling, changes, and more.
BHI utilizes a sophisticated project-management program that details every aspect of project development. You're in control of your project because you have the information and the regular contact required to know exactly how your project is proceeding.
Our project managers are individuals who combine the highest level of management expertise with an excellent working knowledge of your industry. It's like having a department head who partners with you to ensure your project's success.
We test against requirements
Our approach to software development pays special attention to defining the requirements-or "what"-of your application. That leads to building the right software, in the best manner possible.
We develop software that can easily be tested against the system's requirements. This leads to the most cost-effective use of time and monetary resources. BHI develops software that yields big results.
Our Rich Heritage
With over 10 years in business, BHI has developed vital domain experience in healthcare, telecommunications, and media. Individuals who make up our organization are seasoned professionals-averaging over 10 years of software application or specific industry experience. They bring both large-company and start-up business experience to your organization.
