At Maze Net, we have made the art of migration, a science with a long list of success stories. Managed by the most innovative minds, led by highly experienced professionals and supported by a very talented delivery team, Maze Net is committed in providing the best quality solutions to its customers. Project Delivery in Maze Net comprises four major phases each of which has various sub steps aimed at producing high quality, cost effective results. Aiming to achieve the best results and optimum customer comfort, Maze Net follows the unique CTM Model. CTM (Continuity Team Member) ensures continuous contact between customer and the offsite team during the entire project life cycle.

The Global Delivery Model

The Global Delivery Model (GDM) pioneered by Maze Net Technologies in the early years of the outsourcing trend, emerged as a calvanizing force in the industry and led to the rise of offshore global outsourcing. Today, offshore global outsourcing has gained widespread acceptance as a crucial aspect of a business strategy.

Enabled by the availability of highly educated, technically skilled and low-cost talent in India and other emerging economies, the GDM has achieved broad acceptance through its ability to deliver lower costs, higher quality, and productivity.

At the core of GDM are two principals:

 Breaking the pieces of the project into logical components

 Distributing these components geo-locationally, to develop them in the  most cost efficient manner, thereby creating maximum value.

Project Management

Our project management and project quality processes are strengthened by the use of a variety of tools which help us manage the complexities of the Global Delivery Model (GDM).

At Maze Net Technologies, project management processes are in line with SEI CMMI Level 5. This is the highest possible CMMI rating from the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a research and development center which focuses on improving software-engineering practices. The CMMI Level 5 is our yardstick for the high standards we attain in terms of quality and cost. CMMI Level 5 processes address every aspect of a project across the project life cycle, including:

  Project planning

 Project monitoring, reporting procedures

  Project risk management

 Configuration management

  Change management

  Conflict resolution

  Communication

At the outset of every engagement, Maze Net Technologies project planning detail all aspects of the project, including:

  Project profile

  Life cycle processes

  Deliverables with cost estimates and time tables

  Goals and milestones

  Project tracking

  Defect estimates and prevention

  Team roles, skills, training

  Risks and mitigation plan

Methodology of development

Maze Net Technologies believes that well-defined processes and methodologies are key to the success of any project. Therefore, for every client/project Maze Net Technologies defines the interface methodology that helps it in the successful execution of the project.

 On receipt of the contract, Maze Net Technologies assigns a Project Manager who will be responsible for development, deliverables, quality and communications. The Project Manager will be the primary contact point for the smooth execution of the project. At predefined intervals or on exceptions, senior management of Maze Net Technologies gets involved for project monitoring and to provide solutions to roadblocks.

 Maze Net Technologies also expects the client to assign a contact person who will be responsible for all communications, clarifications, etc.

 The project starts with a kick-off meeting. General project outlines and the communication channels are established during this meeting.

 Maze Net Technologies develops a number of design options for the project. The client must select the design they want from the options presented.

 After the client has chosen an option, Maze Net Technologies incorporates further changes suggested into the final Implementation.

Maze Net Technologies prepares a Business Requirements document for client review. The purpose of this document is to synchronize our understanding of the requirements with client expectations. This document also identifies the deliverables.

 The client must approve the Business Requirements document.

 Maze Net Technologies Project Manager makes a detailed Project Schedule, listing the activities, resources, timelines, milestones, etc. using Microsoft Project. This schedule becomes the basis for project monitoring.

 Maze Net Technologies develops an Outline Specification document for the client’s approval. This document will be the first document showing an outline of the solution developed by Maze Net Technologies for the requirements identified in the Business requirements document. The proposed solution will cover various aspects like business rules, user interfaces, data flow diagrams, entity relationships, data structures, etc.

 At this stage, Maze Net Technologies breaks the proposed application system into logical components and identifies each logical component as a use case. We work out the detailed specifications of each use case and submit it to the client for their approval. The detailed specifications document becomes the basis of software design for the proposed solution. Based on detailed specifications, a QC team starts working on the test plans to cover all business requirements that must be tested.

 The detailed design is the next step in the software development. The detailed design addresses the requirements at the field level and documents the entire design of the proposed solution.

 Based on the detailed design, Maze Net Technologies develops the use case and puts all the necessary code behind it. The code is highly modular and well documented.

 After coding, the use case undergoes our quality control (QC) cycle.

 After getting the QC approved use case, it is delivered to the client for their review and test.
Modifications are incorporated in the use case, based on the feedback from the client.

 This way, all the use cases are developed and put in the private test area for review by the client. Depending on the client needs, Maze Net Technologies may publish the interim code on the private test area for their code review.

 After development of all the use cases, the entire application system is passed through the Maze Net Technologies quality control cycle for system testing and then delivered to the client for their testing.

 Based on the client inputs, the necessary modifications are carried out and as the complete application is ready, it is delivered to the client.

 All necessary documentation, as required are developed and delivered to the client.

 Throughout the development phase, regular project status reporting is done.

 It is the client’s responsibility to test the project to determine if there are any changes to be considered. However, these changes are limited to bug fixing only. Any modification that is a result of a change in specification are negotiated and charged separately. If no feedback is received within 14 days of the completion of the project, Maze Net Technologies will assumed that the client has signed off on the project and it is 100% complete. Any changes requested after that are negotiated and charged separately.
