Methodology

CIGNEX has developed a proven, unique implementation methodology that ensures our solutions are exactly what our customers need - delivered on time, on budget, and ready to go.

By combining best practices from over 50 successful engagements with the shared knowledge derived from a combined 300 years of consulting experience, we've developed a powerful and flexible approach to building and deploying large, complex ECM solutions. The four elements of this approach - Discovery, Design, Development, and Deployment - ensure that our custom solutions will meet customer requirements.

Our methodology differentiates us from other open source application vendors who tend to be very specialized, approaching customer engagements from the same technology perspective each time and reusing the same platform for every application. They often dive right into technical requirements, potentially missing important factors that should influence what the application looks like and how it is developed.

CIGNEX takes a business strategy approach to every engagement, starting with gaining a deep understanding of the underlying business requirements and challenges, and devising the best course of action. We firmly believe in all of the benefits afforded by open source technology - freedom of choice, complete visibility into all aspects of the application, and dedication to consistently improving our customer's experience.

CIGNEX employs a proven, repeatable methodology for understanding business problems and defining solutions, but the solutions we ultimately provide are unique to each client. We approach every engagement in a way that ensures a successful, cost-effective deployment. Our methodology includes the following phases:
