How it works:

Pulling the pieces together with process and tools
Having the right people in place is only half of the equation. An organization can experience limited success with very gifted people, but those individuals own the success of the organization. The company is held at the mercy of those few individuals who “own” the skills or knowledge that moves the company forward. In this organization, it takes the very best and brightest to get anything done. At Complexus we believe in helping the organization to “own” their own success. Complexus works with the client to gain this using a three prong approach

• Process – Complexus partners with the client to ensure that a very solid and well documented and practical software development framework is implemented in the organization. This moves the intellectual capital out of the hands of individuals and places it firmly in the hands of the company.
• Tools – Complexus works with the client to assess their specific needs, level of risk tolerance, and available capital to identify “practical” tools that facilitate the development framework. These tools are intended to provide consistency and repeatability to the process, thus providing the capability to “do more with less”.
• Culture – The key to the successful transformation of any organization is the environment. Complexus works with the client to help them “institutionalize” the process and tools, thus enabling the client to fully “own” their success. The company then can accomplish more with less gifted individuals, enabling the entire organization to be successful.

Change of this kind, however, can only be accomplished when people at all levels of the organization are committed to the success of the new way of dong business. Everyone from the President to the janitor have to be committed to the shared vision of a successful organization.

The Complexus Difference
Complexus is different than the typical contracting firm you are used to dealing with. It is not our desire to engage a project, then to do everything possible to ensure that the organization become dependant on continued services. At Complexus it is our vision to help companies become effective at executing fully on their own projects. We do this by ensuring that we are, not only executing on a particular engagement project, but helping the organization to build their test competency.

Whether helping you to augment your development and testing staff, or providing you with a fully outsourced solution, we won’t send you resources that are unqualified for the position. Every resource that Complexus uses, whether that is a developer, a database architect, a performance engineer, or a tester, has been thoroughly screened, and assessed to ensure that only superior resources are presented to the client.

The resources in Complexus have proven themselves to be leaders in the industry are at the top of their game. We do not have, nor do we accept anyone who has not proven that they have significant experience in their field of expertise.

Process Development
One of the biggest struggles for IT and software development organizations is repeatability. The organization has experienced some success in the past, and has caused it to grow, but the processes have never been developed to support a larger organization. When the group was small communication consisted of turning around and talking to the business analyst/project manager/tester/developer behind. As the group grew from its success communication has become difficult, and now projects consist of dozens of resources. The same old techniques don’t work any more. Success fast becomes a forgotten capability.

The only way for a company to sustain success is through sound and practical software development processes. Complexus Solutions was formed by seasoned software development professionals who have experience in identifying, defining, documenting and deploying sound and practical software development process. The processes developed by Complexus follow the traditional software development processes of the industry, but are tailored to meet the individual needs of your organization. Complexus helps not only with the creation of process, but with the implementation and socialization of the process in your organization. We will work with you to ensure that the process isn’t abandoned, and until the process becomes institutionalized within your organization. With sound process your company will be less susceptible to changing requirements or resources. In a word, your success will become…repeatable!

Tool Selection & Implementation
One of the biggest challenges facing an organization is how to maximize the return on investment of capital. As software development professionals we are constantly inundated with marketing information from tool vendors. Each one touts how important their tool is, and how much effort and money it will save you. They also tell you how important it is to buy their entire tools suite. Where are you going to find the time to sift through all of the hype to get to a sensible solution that works for you, and stays within your budget? Not to mention the fact that software development tools are expensive, require extensive training, and difficult to implement. Let Complexus help you assess your tool needs and match tools to your specific software development needs.

The tendency of most organizations is to select tools before they have identified and documented their processes. What they end up with is really fast bad process. The team at Complexus Solutions has experience selecting and implementing software development tools for organizations of all sizes. We can help you select a tool program that works for you. We realize that you don’t have access to a pot of gold, so we will work with you to identify your most urgent needs, and select tools that fit those needs. We will help you to implement the tool in your organization, and then ensure your staff is proficient in its use.

Organizational Development
Sound software development begins at the top of the organization. Complexus works with your senior staff to ensure that everyone understands and “buys in” to sound process. We then work to ensure that everyone from the janitor to the president of the company know and understand the process.

Complexus will help you to develop consistent processes and an organization that will consistently produce successful results. Change in an organization is hard work, and Complexus will be right there to help you implement and manage the change in your company. We will work with your team to help develop a communication and roll-out plan, and support the process through its maturity. Our goal is to leave you with a legacy of success for your organization.
