iStrategy

iForce's development methodology is called iStrategy. The approach is based on incorporating our experience working on large projects as well as using best in class project management principles. The methodology places heavy emphasis on capturing essential technological requirements that support functional and organisational goals.

The iStrategy approach to developing a technology business solutions is unique and starts with a business case that enables the identification of the core principles on which the business operates. The following diagram visually highlights this.

All systems running in an organisation must ultimately be tied to the corporate and functional objectives. This process ensures coherence of desired solutions to given business milestones. Once this is completed the justification for the technology implementation becomes clear and sets the stage for recommending the most appropriate technology strategy and platform.
