The Sapple team brings a combination of business, consulting and IT experience. We offer a pragmatic approach to the delivery of client services.

Our services offer the following benefits:

Concept formation with wireframes and documentation supported by final delivery Project management using latest tool like JIRA High degree of communication proficiency Offshore services delivery team Greater savings from offshore model & cost‐arbitrage benefits

Sapple has a flexible approach to delivery:

Full Sapple delivery ‐ responsibility for all parts of the project Project responsibilities shared with the customer

Our Implementation teams consist of business, QA and technical leads, and a Project Manager coordinating effort across the team and working closely with the client staff assigned to the project.

Every buyer has his/her unique set of expectations and requirements. We ensure that all these are integrated into a viable delivery plan at the early stages with clearly defined roles and responsibilities of the various stake holders over a timeline.

We envisage providing the diverse requirements of the different buyers who can choose from any one of the generally accepted expectations or a mix of them for a given project. Typical scenarios are:

Fast turnaround ‐ The client has business interest in getting the project executed before a certain date or may be requires it in a short span of time because of his own business requirements. We help the client with the best case timeline possible and its implication on the resource loading on the plan for the project.

Very good quality ‐ The client has a requirement to ensure minimal defects in the system. We help the client with a detailed test strategy and test plan with various test management and execution tools available with us.

Low Cost Solution ‐ The client requires a cost effective solution. We engage with our client to understand the requirements in detail, prepare wireframes and advice whenever required to make scope modifications for making the solutions cost effective. However low cost solutions are not built at the cost of quality. At the same time we maintain an expectation with the client on what kind of products he/she can expect.

Engagement Models

Fixed Time Fixed Price ‐ This is one of the most common models where the client and we align our self with a pre defined scope of work which is further divided into a series of traceable milestones. This ensures that there are no cost over runs for the buyer, at the same time provides for timely payments on a schedule. We have one of the most competitive billing rates for our buyers.

Time ‘n’ Material This is the other model where normally the specifications of a project are subject to revisions on a frequent basis. The buyer commits for a set of people with varying capabilities to work for the project. At a predefined time interval the total hours devoted to the project by the set of defined people are consolidated and submitted to the buyer for review and approval following which the buyer release payments. We follow industry standard time tracking tools to track time logged by the people and also submit concise daily / weekly reports to the buyer for verification as well as for information.

Development Methodology

We believe in delivering “custom build solutions” / “enhancement in existing framework” to client's business requirement with the best mix of development practices like a g i l e , prototyping and iterative development that are in alignment with quality standards laid by ISO. The projects have the following common stages for most solutions and products:

It’s based on a stage gate approach with check points after every stage.

Within each stage, we have a full set of processes available which allows our teams to benefit from our previous implementations and reduce project duration and workload.

Stages in our development methodology:

Initiation Stage Planning Stage Development Stage Testing Stage Roll ‐ Out Stage Close ‐ Out Stage Support and Maintenance

We use JIRA and its related tools for various activities required to be done in a projects life cycle (initiation to delivery phase):

Agile based development of project (using Greenhopper) Content / requirement and wireframes of the project (using Confluence) Code / requirement repository management (using fisheye) Interval code / functionality reviews (using crucible) Automated build (using bamboo) CRs / Issues tracking (using JIRA)

Benefit of Sapple‐Development methodology: We have realized the potential benefits of Sapple‐Development methodology. These are as follows:

Timely Execution of Project with on time delivery Risk identification if any at an early stage Development of a flexible easy to use and modifiable system. Customer Delight Greater trust Higher Reliability

Our processes and methodology are regularly updated on the basis of our experience and new standards, and are packaged as a practical toolkit.

Quality Management

Our quality system integrates the quality process with the entire project life cycle (PLC). Our Software Quality Assurance Group (SQAG) will be responsible for planning and implementing the projects' quality assurance and defect prevention activities to ensure that the software process steps and standards are followed. The required process methodologies would be defined for each stage of the PLC.

We will follow the following approach towards quality assurance and continuous quality improvements in its association with the client:

SQAG gets involved with the business analyst and works closely on prepare the Requirement Document Then they prepare a list of Test cases which would be reviewed to ensure coverage and quality Once reviewed and finalised, the test cases are executed on the developed system and the test report would be shared with the client All defects raised would be redressed by the development team and followed upon for closure.

Communications and Status Reporting

Reporting mechanisms, formats, frequency, Information flows, reviews and audit mechanisms would be decided with client during initial stages of the project. We and Client Managers will review project progress and key issues weekly. Action Items will be documented and distributed by us.

The following items will be established during initial phases of the project: Check point and milestone reviews for validating and conforming to committed deliverables Reporting mechanisms, formats and frequency to be decided on mutual agreement with the Client Escalation procedures as part of project plans to deal with unforeseen circumstances and higher management involvement Procedure for requesting changes to the work schedule and scope Information flows, review and audit mechanisms

Regular monitoring and status reporting is typically done through: Project Plan tracking and updating Weekly Status reports Team meetings Steering committee meetings

Project Management

Project Management is critical to the successful delivery of our client commitments and we acknowledge that industry standards must be rigorously applied.

Program management follows the below practices but is not limited to

• We use JIRA (project management tool) for project / task / resource tracking. • Scope Management: It enables us to manage the scope and track any changes made. It also helps

us in estimating the impact of it on timeline and keeping the cost in control. We use JIRA to track the list of changes / enhancement / review comments.

• Project Plan: We create a project plan based on the task / modules which we are planning in the release. We have our release plan supported by small sprints.

• Task Assignment: Assign tasks to resources based on people skill sets and availability. This is done using JIRA Rapid Board.

• Track planned versus actual time spent on tasks which is very important for risk identification. • Reporting through project dashboards and online status reports are shared by the team lead on

periodic basis. • Risk/ Issue tracking

We also focus equally on Workforce Management. It enables us to ensure that strategic capacity planning objectives are met in an efficient, cost effective manner, while also balancing best practices.
