How we work
Two crucial aspects in developing your custom business application:
- The quality and effectiveness of the delivered solution: How well does the application meet your business needs in terms of performance and robustness?
- Time-to-market: A short time-to-market is critical to capitalize on new market opportunities.
Our project methodology is perfectly aligned with these aspects:
AgileWith over twenty years of experience in Agile practices, ACA Group is renowned as an Agile thought leader. An Agile process integrates the stages of analysis, development, testing, and delivery into a continuous cycle. We work in short iterations of a few weeks, allowing continuous feedback from you, our client, and adjustments as needed.
