We simplify the customer experience
We’ve been designing and constructing customer portals across a variety of industries since 1999. Because custom portal development is a core focus of ours, we invest heavily in the skill sets, processes and infrastructure necessary to ensure your portal project meets your business objectives and your customers’ usability expectations.

How it Works


Discovery Meeting
Learn More
First, we conduct a no-cost discovery meeting with you to better understand what’s driving the need for your new portal, your high-level requirements, and the number of key stakeholders that will be impacted and need to interviewed. We do this to gain a better understanding of the type and size of effort required to achieve your goals and to develop a proposal for the first phase of our process — Our Design Studio.


Design Studio
Learn More
Design is the most important phase of a successful software project. Unfortunately, many organizations tend to undervalue this phase, opting instead for a strategy that feels more like “code and hope.” Not Fluent.
Our Design Studio provides a rapid, effective approach to determine the core design elements for a custom software application. The process ensures both you and our development team have a clear vision for what the application will and won’t do, how long it will take to develop, and how much it will cost.
Deliverables may include:
- Screen Mockups are created so that end users can interact with the new design visually.
- Functional Requirements define the rules for what the system will (and sometimes will not) do.
- Process Model defines who/what triggers each process and how the organization responds to achieve the desired outcome.
- Data Model defines how the application uses data.
- Technical Architecture diagram lays out the proposed architecture for the new application.
- Cost Estimate is a detailed estimate of the time, effort and fees required to construct the application.


Development
We ensure that development is efficient and maintainable.

After the Design Studio, technical design takes place to ensure your custom software development is efficient and the resulting application is maintainable, scalable and extensible. Development translates the specifications created during design into code. We also test the system to verify the code works according to those specifications. At completion, acceptance testing is conducted by the client as a final check before deployment.
Deliverables can include:
- Technical design and specifications
- Use cases for end user testing
- Source code and documentation
- End user training documentation
