Accurate, Targeted Requirements. Avoid the requirements gathering quagmire.

ACULIS is synonymous with accuracy. With a clear understanding of your business and development objectives, ACULIS Requirements Management (ARM) will improve your requirements management processes ensuring optimal efficiency and development success.

ARM is focused on a single, unwavering principle—to make the development process simpler for you. That means greater control and simplified management of your entire development process—ultimately saving time, resources and, of course, money. ARM utilizes a robust Web-based project management, defect management, change management, test-case management, placing you firmly in the driver's seat.

Without a solid requirements management process, a project will miss the mark. ARM can keep your development efforts firmly on target, while adding flexibility, adaptability and reliability to any process maturity.

• Comprehensive Web-based Project Management Tools
• Mature and Flexible AGILE Requirements Baseline Process
• Reliable Results Through Continuous Client Interaction
• Expect & Manage Change Through Iterations, and Adaptation

What you see is what you get. ACULIS Interface Driven Design (AIDD).

At ACULIS, we believe that what you see drives what you get, or more importantly, SHOULD get. A high-rise structure does not break ground without the proper planning, mapping and blueprints. Yet too often, in development projects, code construction begins against loosely defined requirements, no visual framework, and very little time spent on design and architecture, creating an end product that fails to meet the mark.

The ACULIS (AIDD) process is visually dynamic, utilizing wireframe/userflow models, frameworks/templates, and high/low fidelity prototypes, to quickly pull your application together, while ensuring that it ties back to the defined requirements. We find that this process allows the development team to connect, collaborate, and communicate about technology more effectively, and becomes the catalyst for new requirements and opportunities.

• Web-Apps, Websites, Software Applications, and Intranets.
• Simplify and Verify the User Experience Before Coding Begins
• Enhance and Surpass Overall Business Objectives
• Accurate IDD Improves Database Design
• Improved Collaboration and Communication Resulting in Optimum Results
