Methodology

Calnetix Technologies employs a comprehensive six-stage product development process to manage our customer system integration projects. Each project is unique and requires individual attention to estimate the project timeline and schedule. In the spirit of continuous improvement, following a project’s completion, the project team meets to review the entire process and evaluate the product for ways to enhance the value delivered. Customers are encouraged to and often participate in the development review meetings.

Phase 1: Feasibility and Concept Definition

The concept design work is conducted based on the initial requirements from the customer and is completed within an agreed upon time frame. In this phase, design tradeoffs are typically conducted to come up with best possible design concept for the application. Performance and cost estimates, risk assessments and a compliance matrix are then prepared and presented to the customer for consideration. In addition, the initial project’s development plan including the scope of work split (engineering, hardware and integration), design verification testing plan, major project milestones, deliverables and project schedule are updated and discussed with customer in a concept design review meeting.
