Our Methodologies & Frameworks

Nearly all enterprise organisations are going to experience peaks in traffic that have the potential to disrupt the customer experience – negatively affecting revenue and reputation.

Our Prepare for Peak methodology ensures your core IT systems don’t fail when you need them most, with automated testing and analysis at forecasted peaks, not just your current limits.

By starting preparations well in advance of your busiest trading periods, regularly revaluating your “peaks” and constantly retesting your ability to meet demand, we can ensure that peak won’t be painful for you or your customers.

With every change made to an application’s code there is a risk that performance will be negatively affected. And the more comprehensive the code change, the bigger the risk.

Our Performance Risk Modelling methodology not only systematically identifies performance risk in any application but also assists your team by ensuring they design applications in a way that eliminates risk.

By modelling risk across our 7 Pillars of Performance framework, we’re better able to define a fuller picture of the risks to your system and highlight any potential capacity or overspending hotspots too.

When an organisation strives for a Continuous Delivery or Agile software delivery model, the chances of bugs making it into live software increases – a side effect of trying to rush out more frequent releases, more quickly.

Our Software Performance Engineering methodology vastly reduces performance risks by integrating testing into all stages of your development lifecycle, including post-release tests to validate software is performing as intended. This methodology also optimises software for better performance, reducing wasted capacity.

By adopting a risk-based perspective, building on our Performance Risk Modelling methodology, we ensure effort is targeted appropriately. Additionally, regular design and code performance reviews ensure performance best practice is built into the application – and any future software releases.

Every organisation understands the very real struggle between the need for investment in IT systems and the need for a balanced budget.

Our IT Cost Management methodology ensures spending on capacity allows your employees and customers to benefit from high levels of performance, without blowing your budget and adversely affecting your organisation’s bottom-line.

By delivering better data and analysis ensure more accurate forecasting, less unnecessary spending and fewer performance risks. Ultimately resulting in any IT spend empowering your business, rather than impoverishing it.
