We provide professional technical consulting services:
Solutions Consulting
The activities itemised below can be carried out as the first phase of a solutions project, preceding the development phase. The main objective is to provide the customer with a reliable and competent technology and solution advice that provides an optimal approach to implementation and deployment of the envisioned software system.
- Business-case analysis and conceptualization of a solution
- Business and technical requirements co-development
- Feasibility study, technology research, solution prototyping
- Blue-printing, preparation of a complete technical specification
- Project planning, management
For most projects, at least some of these activities are carried out in order to have reliable project budget and timeframe estimations.
How it starts
iSource’ system analysts review any documents (or just general input) from the customer and provide their comments and suggested action plan. In most cases such preliminary analysis and draft estimations can be provided within a few days. Detailed project planning and analysis is always followed after commit decisions.
Architecture Consulting
We believe that architecture matters. It should be one of the first considerations when addressing a development project- and becomes critically important when working with distributed systems or architectures. Poor architectural choices can rarely be fixed in implementation, no matter how good the development team is.
Wrong decisions lead to lower performance, less security, and fewer options when an application needs to be updated or enhanced (post implementation).
Enterprise Architecture Development
Experienced in the development and application of distributed component frameworks, our architects can help clients successfully facilitate their software development architecture efforts. We also mentor clients' architects such that their software development efforts are a success. We find with educating our consultancy and strategy is better understood in light of medium term and factors otherwise unknown or unforeseen to our clients.

Quality Control & Consulting
Too often, development houses or solution buyers neglect the importance of proper quality control throughout the development process. We believe quality control starts not after the solution has been "Developed", but in the planning and implementation phase itself. iSource has an extensive experience of building and aiding in the development of top-quality solutions and as part of its own directives of effectiveness and efficiency, quality is enforced throughout the organisation.
Why is quality so important?
The quality of applications has a direct relationship on the balance sheet. High quality means lower tech support costs, higher customer satisfaction, and higher sales. But perhaps the cost of not doing any quality control and assurance is what can break a product or a business. At iSource, we know that a small investment in quality control can reap huge rewards down the road and keep our customers as "Raving Fans" who can concentrate on their business development without worrying about standards.
Today, iSource offers a variety of services relating to quality control, ranging from selecting solution to aiding developers to setup in-house quality control processes.
- Software and Solution quality auditing and consulting in design, architecture, development, testing and deployment phases
- Development of in-house quality control solutions
- Application testing solutions and tools including software testing of both components and complete products, black-box or white-box testing, coverage analysis, touch tests, and stress tests.
