An initial call is made where we discuss the client's software needs and analyze the client requests. We will also introduce the CodeZone’s process to developing software applications and outline our strengths that are specific to the client's needs.

This involves a detailed call or a face to face meeting with the client. In this stage, our team requests for more information on the client's current process. This meeting will involve the client, the CodeZone team; which includes a business analyst. The functionalities of the client’s software requirements are evaluated, documented and analyzed. We may follow up after this meeting with further questions.

CodeZone’s business analyst will put together a high-level business requirement outline explaining in detail the client's requirements. The system is broken down and any documents the client shares will be attached. CodeZone will share this document with the client for review and feedback.

Once the business requirement outlined, it will be analyzed by the Konverge technical team that breaks down the functionality and provides a timeline of how long it will take to build each piece of functionality. This is a technical estimate.

Once the technical estimate is complete, a team member will finalize the estimate by entering all non-technical components to the document. The final estimate will include a full specification of the application, CodeZone's experience and ability to complete the project, resources, and a break down of each task, including time and cost. Once complete, this estimate will be sent to the client for review.

The CodeZone team will meet with the client to review the estimate together. This allows us an opportunity to review functionality and gives the client the much needed time to ask for any changes. If the estimate is not within the client's budget, this is an opportunity to discuss and determine what changes can be made to reduce scope and cost, if necessary. The estimate will be updated accordingly.

Once everything goes well, CodeZone will provide a statement of work contract, which includes the full estimate, cost break down, payment schedule, and a signature page. Once signed, CodeZone can begin the kick-off phase of the project.
