Getting Started

As soon as you contact us with a need for product development or engineering services, we will work with you to help you determine if we are a good match for your project. Our typical process for engaging with you on a new project involves the following four stages. For smaller projects, most of the stages can be combined into one or two meetings, or even handled by email or over the phone.

Stage 1: INQUIRY

This is an initial discussion to share our general skills and capabilities to see if we might be a good fit for your project needs. After this discussion we will often mutually decide to sign a non-disclosure agreement to facilitate the exchange of further information.

Stage 2: DISCOVERY

This is a detailed discussion between your team and ours. The purpose of this discussion is for us to get an in depth understanding of your project needs and for you to get a firm understanding of our specific technical capabilities in areas needed for your project.

Stage 3: PROPOSAL / STATEMENT OF WORK

Based on the information we have received in the Discovery stage, we will create a detailed project proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) for your project. This Statement of Work will define project scope, activities, deliverables, schedule, costs, and proposed business terms. We will work closely with you to create and refine a Statement of Work that will satisfy your needs.

Stage 4: PROJECT KICKOFF

Once we have reached agreement on the Statement of Work, we will then assemble the people and resources needed to start the project. Typical projects may include a kickoff meeting between members of your team and ours.

If you have a project need that you would like to discuss with us, please contact us to begin discussions.
