Info-Scape Ltd. consultants specialize in rapidly developing and deploying solutions. The techniques used to achieve that objective include light weight project management methodologies like Scrum and Extreme Programming, as well as a careful choices about tools and technologies.

Our approach begins with athourough understanding of the desired result. Envisioning the end state and working backwards, we identify points where it is possible to deliver useful capabilities and maximise options. If the project is too complex to understand thouroughly, it needs to be reduced in scope until it becomes manageable. Sweeping visions can be beautiful things, but when it comes to getting things done, the key is small, fast iterations. Delivering results is the best way to ensure that big projects stay on track.

In our software development practice, we avoid being locked into using a single vendors products and favor Open Source wherever possible. The ability to examine the source code and fix defects has meant the difference between success and failure for us on many occasions. Luckily, our approach of delivering fnctionality as early as possible helps us identify problems early in the development process and either develop a work-around or reccomend an alternative.

We frequently customize vendor packages or open source to fit a customers' requirements. We also sometimes opt to build something from scratch. Our guiding principle is to keep things simple. IT architecture is a balancing act. All too often companies architectureal decisions are taken hostage by the latest fad or by the vendor with the most clout. The best architecure delivers only and exactly the capapibities you need now, while preserving your options. It doesn't try to do everything. It doesn't force you to abandon things that work well.
