Consulting and Training
BankNet can provide all or only some of the deliverables that are part of a typical development life-cycle from the initial requirements through to the final maintenance and support stage. We are equipped to do end-to-end development on an outsourced basis, but we recognize that clients often require only specific deliverables within the development life-cycle. Outside of pure software development, BankNet will perform the following specific services:

  1. Requirement Definition and Feasibility Assessment
  2. Technology Audits and Assessments
  3. Architecture Reviews
  4. Product Training and Development Methodology
  5. Knowledge Transfer

1. Requirement Definition and Feasibility Assessment
As part of our end-to-end commitment to outsourced development, we can perform the business analysis and provide detailed requirements, feasibility, and risk assessment for any new project.

2. Technology Audits and Assessments
A technology audit is often necessary when new development projects require modification of an existing system: We leverage our experience in building these systems to help clients assess the technical and functional adequacy of their own systems. We take the next step by providing advice on the nature and scope of possible enhancements. We use our in-house S/390 development facilities to provide "real-world" evaluations of new S/390 products (e.g. WebSphere).

3. Architecture Reviews
We review the architecture of client application systems and develop plans for migration to a new target architecture.

4. Product Training and Development Methodology
When our clients choose to do their own development, we a) provide them with training in all of BankNet's products, and b) help them to increase their productivity. We do this by coaching clients on enhancing their development methodology to take advantage of the latest tools and processes.

5. Knowledge Transfer
At the end of an application development project, it is necessary to transfer knowledge from the development team to a maintenance and support group. BankNet provides consulting for this transfer of knowledge. We are constantly managing this transition among project teams within our own organization, so we make certain to stay current on the best practices around knowledge transfer.
