Asia-Australia Technology specialise in working with corporate enterprise to deliver integrated solutions with maximum efficiency. Asia-Australia Technology specialise in Microsoft .Net, although projects involving J2EE and other technologies have also been undertaken with the same principles outlined below.
What do we mean, 'Integrated Solutions'?With most corporate enterprise projects, there is usually a major requirement to integrate new applications with existing infrastructure. In addition to the technical integration, close integration with corporate stakeholders is required, which is often a major roadblock to offsite development.
What do we mean, 'Maximum Efficiency'?Onsite development is effective, but disproportionately expensive, as in
addition to the cost of onsite contractors, there is also the cost of
desk space and management. A typical 6 month project for 5 developers
delivered onsite in CBD Sydney can be expected to cost anywhere between $500,000 to $1,000,000.
Asia-Australia Technology are able to offer Integrated Solutions with a significantly lower cost than traditional onsite development. This is what we mean by 'Maximum Efficiency'.
How is this achieved?Asia-Australia achieve this by using a combination of onsite and offsite resources. While the concept itself is not new, the technique in which we deliver it is.
Asia-Australia technology do not have a partnership with a large offshore development company, but rather have their own office based in Novosibirsk Russia, with around 15 of the brightest and most experienced .Net developers in Russia. Novosibirsk was chosen being Russia's 3rd largest city, and the scientific and educational centre of Russia. Located within Novosibirsk is Novosibirsk State University, 35 research institutes, The House of Scientists, containing over 100,000 volumes of Russian and international literature, plus a number of other academies and libraries.
Asia-Australia Technology look to the long-term with both their clients and their employees. Every employee of the Asia-Australia Technology is subject to a rigorous technical and non-technical interview, with the final decision for every new hire reserved by the Managing Directors.
Successful delivery requires more than outstanding developers however, it requires communication and collaboration - a task more challenging when a team is physically apart. Asia-Australia Technology have refined multiple strategies to make communication easier than many development teams currently have who are located on site. Some of these methods include:
- All team members are fluent in English
- All team members are contactable by telephone 24x7
- All team members are available online via Skype during working hours
- An Internet based Issue Tracker to provide transparency of issues across the entire development team and to the client
- A CruiseControl build mechanism to manage code deployment
- An extranet site available to all team members for collaboration
Finally, in addition to an outstanding team with fluid communication, Asia-Australia Technology employ very tight and effective development methodologies:
- An Internet based CVS repository
- NUnit unit tests across .Net business logic (checked as part of CruiseControl deployment)
- NCover test to ensure 95% unit test coverage
- Code committed daily; automated builds every 15 minutes after code change
