Software is the driving force behind all hardware
and network systems. Without software, nothing else matters.
As such, we develop a wide range of software solutions and
employ a unique approach to the development of software. We
maintain a few key philosophical guiding points:
Key Points when considering software development
| > |
Can the functionality
be purchased? Software development is expensive and time
consuming. In most cases, it will be far less expensive
to purchase existing software. |
| > |
Software development
is expensive. Even a modest software package designed
, tested and installed could cost upwards of $10,000.
Does it make business sense to develop a software package
that costs over $10,000? What is the return on investment?

Many times, there is only one answer - development.
If that is the right in your case, you can count on NPI to
develop the right package delivered on-time and on-budget.
Here is how we do it:
| > |
We manage the
development of the software through a series of meetings
that determine the functionality required and create a
requirements document that identify the functional objectives.
|
| > |
We employ the use of highly skilled development partners
who start with the requirements definition and program
from that document. Programmers are seldom involved in
the functionality determination stage. |
| > |
We use an iterative
development life cycle that continually develops and redevelops
the desired functionality |
| > |
We involve the
customer in all aspects of software development
