Before Customized, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions became common place, most
business software was developed in-house as a proprietary solution to a given
company's specific requirements. Though less common today, sometimes a
business organization calculates that their requirements are so specific - or so
confidential - that
 they justify the costs of a custom-developed solution.
NOVUS Professionals are skilled in all phases and facets of software development
for business systems. Whether building a system from the ground up, or
modifying and enhancing an existing business-critical system, you need
professionals that you can rely on to achieve your objectives and give you the
functionality you need, when and how you need it. NOVUS Professionals can
do just that.
NOVUS Professionals are skilled in a variety of Software Development Life
Cycles (SDLCs), including traditional waterfall, RAD, JAD, Spiral, and Rapid
Prototyping. We also have our own refinement of the traditional
methodology we call the
NOVUS Development Lifecycle (NDLC).
The NDLC consists
of the familiar phases of a software development project: Define, Design,
Develop, Verify. Each phase is encapsulated in a set of criteria for entry
and exit, scope verification steps, stakeholder review, Earned Value (EV)
analysis, and sponsor signoff. We also include a phase called Enhance for
ongoing maintenance and enhancement. NOVUS will rely on this methodology
to ensure the success of all our projects, unless our clients request a specific
or proprietary methodology.

Reference Accounts
- BellSouth
-
 BellSouth's 271 Reporting Warehouse contained millions of discrete data
elements, and added hundreds of thousands of new elements each month.
They needed an automated way to validate the data each month before critical
reports were generated and delivered to state and federal regulatory
agencies. NOVUS designed and developed a system in Oracle that enabled
an automated statistical analysis of all data feeds, compared them
historical trends, and identified deviations that needed further attention.
The system comprised nearly 100 software components, sat on a table-driven
architecture for ease-of-maintenance, and enabled the rapid and accurate
validation of the monthly warehouse load.

- Net2000
- Net2000 was building a telecom company from the ground up, including all
the various Operations Support Systems necessary, and found they needed a
better way to track the various project management items that are the
foundation of every project. They selected NOVUS' 'Leverage' Project
Management Database for tracking Issues, Action Items, Trouble Tickets,
Requirements, and Configuration Items. NOVUS performed extensive
customizations to the product before installing it at their headquarters in
Herndon, Virginia. The tool served as a central repository for project
management documentation for numerous projects in their portfolio.

- Avantel
- Taking advantage of the coming competitive opportunities that would be
offered in Mexico with the deregulation of the monopoly held by TelMex, MCI
Communications partnered with Banamex to create a brand new telephone
company, Avantel. NOVUS Professionals were tasked with the development
of an Order Entry Hub to integrate several different systems involved in the
order entry, fulfillment, and billing processes. We built and
delivered two phases successfully, implementing a client/server architecture
with numerous automated interfaces to various midrange and mainframe
systems.
