LDS’ Implementation services help ensure a seamless transition from Portal Design to construction in which the developers and testers are used to working with the deliverables, artifacts and nomenclature of the Elaborate Phase. This familiarity is key to completing the portal project on-time and within budget.

LDS provides the technical leadership and development resources to implement a portal solution based on the requirements and implementation design. Additionally, LDS manages the quality assurance (QA) process, ensuring that the developed solution matches the design specifications that we created and addresses any implementation misalignments.

The result of our Implementation services is a fully-functional and tested portal solution that can be deployed in our client’s production environment.

Value

• Establish a fully-tested and functional solution in a QA environment so that it can be acceptance tested and then deployed in a production environment
• Provide a clear protocol for testing the portal functionality
• Validate the user interface design to ensure that it meets all functional and user experience requirements and specifications.
