Methodology

AMAP Overview

ACS has developed a robust process for design and development of Business Solutions called AMAP. The process encompasses all activities required to plan, design, develop, deploy, operate and manage a solution. Additionally, a unique feature of the process is that it is horizontal and is not specific to any type of solution, technology or vertical. AMAP is a generic framework and can be implemented easily across diverse projects with minimum effort.

Project Life Cycle – This phase typically comprises of five phases that include - Requirement Study, Design, Construction, Testing and Management.
Configuration Management – this phase ensures the identification of CIs, their baselining, version control & their proper release and also Control Changes to them throughout the life cycle of the Project.
Change Control – This is a crucial aspect and ensures that changes are organized and contained in a simple and effective manner.
Software Engineering – This phase is primarily to incorporate all learning points back into the process and ensure optimum output.
Quality Assurance – This phase mostly includes the function of auditing the project, at the end of each phase of the Project Life Cycle, for process compliance.

AMAP advantages:

Provides a simple and flexible framework that allows easy incorporation of new processes and learning points, as necessity demands.
Provides complete transparency into the entire software development cycle with extensive documentation for every phase.
Also includes online tools for further easing adherence to, and supplementing process related requirements.
Lastly, ensures that quality is built into the solution from the start of development, right up to maintenance of the solution.
