As a company with a great deal of project management expertise based on understanding their customers' business needs and a history of collaborative development, InterLink delivers innovative software engineering solutions and provides professional engineering services.
Traditionally, customers must know exactly what they need, want, and are asking for when undertaking offshore initiatives. InterLink's capabilities and experience makes this stringent requirement unnecessary. InterLink's approach combines the finest Ukrainian engineering resources with business analysis and project management skills that enable InterLink to deliver the most effective solutions to its hundreds of clients by applying appropriate skills to overcome challenges in a cost-effective manner.
InterLink's primary development center in Cherkassy and regional development centers across the former Soviet Union are equipped with high-speed data communication lines and state-of-the-art technology. Our highly skilled and experienced personnel are trained at InterLink's own Software Engineering Training Center in the practical knowledge of modern IT technologies, software development process, and InterLink's Project Management Portal, an automated project communications tool.
These resources are centrally managed by a group of project managers who act as the point of contact for our customers to eliminate communication barriers and time zone differences generally associated with offshore development.
InterLink has a solid, yet flexible process methodology.
InterLink's robust internal process methodology is clearly defined, yet flexible to meet the needs of diverse customer types. It represents an optimization of standard process management techniques and best practices established through many years of project development experience.
Our Software Creative Process methodology combines the finer points of several well-known process models, including Rational Unified Process (RUP) and eXtreme Programming (XP). InterLink is readily able to incorporate these types of processes entirely into their own methodology when working with clients.
Our process methodology is continually reviewed for improvement to further ensure quality development and product delivery consistent with customer expectations.
Project management tools to improve offshore software development communication.
InterLink shares the idea that properly built communication channels are key to project success and quality of results delivered. We provide our customers with all necessary activities and procedures that are required to establish productive customer-contractor communication environment:
- Project kick-off visits
- Regular visits to customer
- Onsite & offsite work
- Regular project status reports, feedback
- Regular telephone conferences (conference calls)
With the prime goal of ensuring effective control over a project's execution and extensive levels of service to our growing clientele, we developed the web-based application Project Portal that consolidates and manages key project data and processes from one central point.
This secure and easy-to-use tool gives a client's project members as well as senior management on-line access to project documents, project team contacts, plans, schedules and builds, anywhere and at any time. Project Portal also provides a quick way to monitor project progress and interact with the remote development staff.
