Custom Development

The GrantedGE project team continues to enhance and improve the non-profit software product lines, based on functional requirements provided by its client base.  Our philosophy is not to develop custom code, but to integrate all requirements into the base product functionality.

However, while we have maintained this philosophy to a great extent, clients always have specific unique requirements that are not appropriate for integration into the main package.  Therefore to accommodate these requirements, the development team builds one-off integration plug-ins to satisfy the requirements.

In addition to these unique requirements, the development team has also used its knowledge and talents to build software modules, totally separate from the main product line and continues to offer its unique skill set to any client that would like high quality software developed in a timely fashion at a reasonable price.

Project Process
Fusion Labs' approach consists of a results-driven partnership, leveraging a proven methodology that is divided into four phases.  During each phase, Fusion Labs will partner to create deliverables and perform activities to ensure a successful project.  These phases include:

  • Define and Plan:  During this phase Fusion Labs assesses the current business environment and identifies future needs. In addition, during this phase Fusion Labs maps out the project in a detailed project plan that identifies the specific tasks, resources, and duration of the project.
  • Design:  During the Design phase, Fusion Labs identifies detailed functional requirements, develop and evaluate alternative concepts and business processes, and select the best solutions.
  • Build and Test:  During the Build and Test phase, Fusion Labs prepares the system to meet the operational needs defined during the Design phase by building, configuring, and testing system components that will support the requirements , as defined in the 'Define and Plan' phase.
  • Deliver and Support:  During the Deliver and Support phase, Fusion Labs will implement the developed modules into a selected test environment, preferably at the cients' site, and monitor the usage and operation of the developed modules.

Although VB.Net is the main programming language for our product line, the develop team is highly skilled in C++, C#, VB, VBScript, Java, JavaScript, and others.
