DEVOPS AND ALM REVIEW

DEVOPS AND ALM REVIEW

We use Microsoft's Visual Studio application lifecycle management (ALM) tools to provide the backbone for delivering software continuously.

Your website is your point of presence on the Internet. It's great to have a good website but there is no point to this unless people can find it. The number 1 way to reach new clients is through search engines, in particular Google, which claims to be used by 70% of Internet users.

I was very happy with SSW's service on our recent .NET Point-of-Sale project. Some of the types of issues SSW handled adeptly were: the quality of the user interface, business requirements, legacy code and data structures, and ease of maintenance for down the track.
