We have successfully delivered projects using the following methodologies:

At Arris, we value the trust you place in us—and we repay it by placing world-class talent on your project. Our people aren’t satisfied just to write code or use the next coolest technology. They want to understand your system and solve your business problem. They take intellectual ownership of the project. They’ll stay late at the end of the day—or work nights or weekends—to make sure it’s complete it on time.
Depending on the nature and scope of the engagement, your Arris team includes an Arris executive, project manager, senior software engineers and appropriate support. In addition to a broad base of technical skills, our team members all have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in computer science or a related discipline, as well as extensive real-world experience. Our project managers are engineers with 20+ years of software development experience. Our software engineers have at least seven years real-world experience. You can be confident that your project is in the expert hands of a highly dedicated and committed team.

 

Working with many companies to build their products has given us a unique perspective. Building products for the long term requires consideration of architecture, maintainability, supportability, manageability and other factors that may not come into play with internal projects. We have led product development efforts and played key roles in other initiatives that involved several development teams. Regardless of circumstance, our abilities to architect, design and deliver have contributed

greatly to the successful launches of our clients’ first releases.

 

Even with regular updates, it takes more than a project plan to make a project successful. It takes experience—which our project managers have in abundance. Combining skills in project management, business analysis, technical leadership and architecture, our PMs are working project managers who are uniquely positioned to see the implications of every decision, so they can run your project more effectively. Plus, they still write code and design systems, so they’re always on top of the latest technology trends.

 

Success is doing what we said we’d do. That’s why we invest the right amount of time in analysis up front to minimize changes as the project progresses. With a solid understanding of the challenge, we develop a plan, budget and project goals, and then we drive to meet them.

 

We equate surprises with failure—so we stay in close touch with you about the things you tell us are important to you. Whether you prefer e-mails, phone calls or formal meetings, we keep the lines of communication open—at your convenience.
 

Arris project managers regularly review open issues and concerns with you and the project team and actively manage risks associated with unforeseen events. We welcome clients to participate in as many—or as few—project meetings and reviews as they’d like.

Along with industry-standard tools like Microsoft Project, we use our proprietary Project Pulse to show you the current status of milestones, effort and cost at a glance. You can always be confident that your project is progressing, and that it will be delivered on time, on budget and with quality built in.
