Application Design and Development
PLEXOS international provides custom application design,
development and implementation services for new
products, product customization, or legacy code
conversion projects. Projects typically begin
with the development of a Performance
Requirements Specification (PRS), complete with
detailed software specifications and timelines
for delivery. The PRS becomes the basis for the
contracted software delivery and is signed by
both PLEXOS international and the client prior to notice to
proceed on the project.
A team of experienced programmers (C/C++/ C#/.NET/Java/Assembler/Fortran/Visual Basic),
working with source and version control systems, develops all
projects. As the software is developed, new
versions are created for testing and
certification by the PLEXOS international staff and the
client. When the software is completed and
accepted by the client, bug tracking and fixes
are handled by our development team via our IssueManager application on the Internet. As
issues are identified and resolved, new releases
of the software are created and made available
for download in accordance with our support and
maintenance agreements.
