Process Methodology
1 Introduction Ray Business Technologies (“RAYBIZTECH”) IT process methodology is modeled after Open Unified Process (Open UP), an iterative and requirements-driven agile methodology for project deliveries. Key checks and balances are done at each milestone to ensure that requirements are properly implemented with high quality. The model comprises of iterations delivering increments in functionality to deliver the solution.
2 Delivery Process – 4D Delivery The picture below describes our proven 4D delivery process that is comprised of four distinct phases: discover, define, develop, deploy. Key aspects of the process are: Project progresses in a rolling wave and elaborated progressively as more details are gathered The development activities continue in each iteration Work products evolve as the iteration is completed In the Discover phase, we conduct business analysis, system studies, and readiness assessments to understand the business challenges and key drivers that need a technology solution to be defined. In the Define phase, we outline the project scope, requirements and effort to commence development. In the Develop phase, the actual solution is developed using technology of client’s choice while using our proven process model to deliver a quality solution. In the Deploy phase, the solution is deployed at the client environment and it undergoes user acceptance testing. Post-production support is provided to the clients as the solution goes live.

Process Methodology
Discover & Define During the Discover and Define phases, the project case is built and project requirements are elaborated in detail. RAYBIZTECH offers consulting support to clients for enterprise analysis to build a business case for the project, requirements management to define the requirements clearly and solution assessment to choose the right technology and solution stack to build a scalable and robust technical solution.
Develop In the Develop phase, the technology solution is built to suit the client requirement. Our model is built on top of Open Unified Process which itself is modeled on Rational Unified Process and Agile Development Methodology. Each Develop phase of the project is divided into iterations, which has clearly defined milestones and deliverables. At the project plan will comprise of the iterations and work increments that lead to the project delivery. As the project scope is elaborated, the focus moves from stakeholders who define the project requirements to team that are building the solution. Iteration of the project delivers a tested and working build offering an increment in solution functionality. Iterations focus the team on delivering incremental value to stakeholders in a predictable manner. The iteration plan defines what should be delivered within the iteration, and the result is a demo-able or shippable build.

Process Methodology
Deploy To assist our clients with faster time-to-market we provide flexible deployment options and provide post-production support and ongoing maintenance support. We analyze the client environment, performance and load requirements to do sizing and discuss the deployment options with client to choose the right deployment solution. We provide user training and user manuals for effective user acceptance testing. Our team works with client and fixes any issues during the user acceptance testing. Once approved, the solution is deployed on the target environment and post-production support commences ensure smooth operations. The flexible and agile deployment methodology offers the following benefits: Reproducibility: the ability to integrate source, third party components, data, and deployment externals of a software system in order to guarantee operational stability. Consistency: the mission to provide a stable framework for development, deployment, audit and accountability for software components. Agility: the ongoing research into what are the repercussions of modern software engineering practices on the productivity in the software cycle, i.e. continuous integration and push on green initiatives.

4 Change Management Our change management process is specially defined to address any changes to the solution scope. During the project inception phase, a change control board (CCB) will be formed comprising of stakeholders from the client and RAYBIZTECH. The board will evaluate any change request raised for its impact on the schedule and cost of the project.
Below is a typical flow of events in the event of a change request: Either the client or the delivery team raises a change request based on need. CCB will evaluate the change request for its impact on the schedule and cost of the project. If the impact is acceptable o CCB accepts the change request and communicates the decision to all PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
