Can a quality custom solution be produced in small time leveraging packaged implementation schedule? In most cases FG&A answers 'yes' to this question. The difference lies in the production process. Instead of developing the application we 'assemble' most of it from a large reusable component library. Components are highly reusable and reliable building blocks. Using them drastically cuts development effort and schedule.

component-based vs packaged

The component approach offers the same benefits of packages applications: fast results and reduced (outsourced) maintenance without the drawbacks imposed by application packages.

The mandatory requirement to adopt this strategy is that the users shall know their needs. FG&A employs systematic methods and automated tools to produce clear and complete definition of user requirements.

Reduced project risk

Project risk is also reduced. This results from incremental availability of application functions. In fact delivery is spread across small time-slices so that first results are produced in a very short time.

On each iteration it is possible to adjust or improve the results of previous steps.
