Take Our Advantage for Your Software Development
It's not the cost, it's the flexibility that will drive your and our business profitably,
through good and the bad times
Since 2002, cost Technologies has proven itself to be a technology expert and low cost software vendor. It has been able to do so by maintaining wide technology base through varied projects, smart resourcing that involved a decent blend of extraordinary experts guiding our competent staff to deliver world class solutions.
Strangely however, we found that our customers like to deal with us because of flexibility that we offer to match their needs. Over the years, our proposals to customers have ranged from turnkey solutions involving software and hardware to development centre lease, hiring resources for short term or having a phased approach for project to meet budget requirements or sharing and commercialising intellectual property or taking on high risk projects where customer paid only when we were successful. In present times, we believe the following will provide a distinct our advantage to customers, beyond technology expertise and fixed costs:
Phased Approach or Turnkey Software Solutions
Our phased approach covers development of project in phases to meet budgetary and approval matters. This may mean doing just system specifications or design and then leave it for months for approvals and start again to complete it. In some cases, customers decided to do the projects in-house and sometimes, we are awarded just a module for development.
Then requirement of resources for short term that becomes long term and sometimes, leading to absorption. We are happy to provide expert resources especially for development and testing. Our expertise in MS dot net, SQL Server, MapPoint and MS Report Server, Oracle Fusion and MySQL, PHP forms the basis of all solutions.
As compared to Phased Approach, projects could be turnkey, involving software, hardware integration, complete with Devices, Embedded, Telecom, Interface design and Integration. The project charter may involve supplying hardware or hosting services.
Both Phased and Turnkey solutions have their own advantages. In case of phased approach, organisations are able to develop systems as per their convenience. This however means more time. On the other hand, turnkey solutions are usually delivered faster and therefore cost less. As they get delivered soon, they start adding to productivity sooner.
Enabling Customers find a way to beat the gloom and just boom?
Best way to beat the downturn is to deploy available resources appropriately. Most of the businesses are optimising their IT systems to operate more efficiently. Faced with budget constraints, everyone is trying to use time to slowly and steadily upgrade their systems. There is pressure on IT budgets and the IT Managers are using them more to maintain and upgrade the systems than deploying new initiatives.
Coexl Technologies understand the new paradigm well and we have appropriately changed our practice to suit requirements of the day. We offer you software and IT expertise and IT experts, just the way your business needs. We remove the dependence on regular resources and build a practice for you that you can expand or contract, depending upon need.
With us, costs are fixed for almost any activity. We make your IT set up efficient by absorbing R&D Costs and maintaining knowledge of non-core systems. This is always a huge hidden cost. We invest in systems and proliferate the knowledge to get you cost advantage of economies of scale.
The above has positioned us well in the market and today, we are one of the fastest growing IT companies. We are confident of our methodology and happy to offer fixed price contracts. We are happy to state that demand for our services are fast increasing as more and more companies find in us a reliable, truthful and trustworthy vendor.
Just entrust us your tasks and you will never need to worry again.
Reduce the costs - Develop in Australia!
Coexl Technologies is your local IT Vendor, with an expertise that many overseas vendors trust it to maintain their products in Australia. We believe, contrary to common belief, overall cost of software development and especially the product development is cheapest in Australia. Time and gain we have proven that it costs a fraction to develop products than overseas due to extra reliability of system, processes and attention to Un-Written functionality issues. The products developed in Australia involve ingenuity that adds to their robustness. Coexl Technologies therefore develops entirely in Australia that also has an added benefit of quick turnaround. Typically, we close our projects within 12-36 weeks, start to finish.
Software development in Australia and Melbourne means cost effective development of software and software products. Coexl leverages Melbourne Australia's essence to develop software products.

Our Methodology, designed to save costs
Coexl methodology for Software Development Practice is based on MSF Agile Foundation's Scrum Methodology template. Notwithstanding above, we may deliver projects based on customers’ quality systems, PRINCE 2. Our methodology delivered right products within agreed time. This also enables us to undertake from very small projects such as MS Office Macros to enterprise-wide business applications. A brief on our methodology template as explained below:
Product Plan: Product Planning involves multiple activities. We start from the Business Requirement Specification à develop a rapid prototype à proposal acceptance database design, business logic design, user experience design Product Backlog
Sprint Plan: Product backlog is now broken into sprint backlogs. The cycle involves creating user stories and carrying out development. We plan the sprints to develop rapid releases. Typical release cycle (sprint) is two weeks.
System Testing: QA team starts preparing test plans based on user stories (or use cases). Testing starts with alpha releases. QA Team lodges issues, bugs and test cases in TFS. Both manual and automated regression testing is done. The test plan continues to evolve with the product.
Collaboration with customer is a key part of the development process. Customer provides feedback on incremental releases preventing last minute surprises and results in efficient development process.
Team Foundation Server is used for version controlling, developer collaboration, issue tracking, manual testing and test automation.
