Transoft Project Methodology

Transoft's professional services delivered projects, together with our specialist tools, have enabled thousands of companies to adopt the latest technologies as part of the development lifecycle of their existing applications. They have been able to keep applications productive and relevant to changing business needs for longer, therefore providing a continued return on investment.

Transoft fully understands and appreciates the critical nature of existing applications to our customers and how it is vital to have a robust, proven methodology for undertaking varied complex projects that impact these applications.

The Transoft Project Methodology starts with the concept of a PathFinder Assessment phase to identify, scope, resolve, and analyse the project in detail.  Experience has repeatedly confirmed that the investigative time spent before commencing a comprehensive data or application integration, modernization or migration project pays for itself many times over, and facilitates prudent decisions and selection of appropriate strategic alternatives. 

Transoft’s PathFinder Assessment phase will also focus on risk mitigation to ensure the delivery of a successful project on time and to budget.

The Transoft Project Methodology is based on 20+ years of modernization and migration experience, and our proven suite of tools and products.  Our commitment to a long-term partnership with our clients is reflected in the references that they provide for us. For instance, Bertrand Petit, Project Manager at Skyguide, an existing client, had these comments regarding the migration work Transoft performed on the Swiss Air Traffic Control System.

"We can warmly recommend Transoft to anyone wishing to call on its services. Skyguide has been satisfied by the professionalism deployed by Transoft in the frame of several Skyguide contracts. The support was continuous and responsive with great efficiency to our requests. The whole Skyguide development team involved in this effort has greatly appreciated the Transoft cooperation. Thanks to the relationship of trust that we have been able to develop, we shall continue in future to maintain very good professional relations with Transoft."
