Enterprise Portal and SDLC Automation

Situation: Leading Pharmacy Service Provider

Critical Issue: Customer is having difficulty with repeatable SDLC processes and needed improved collaboration between internal team members for each development effort.

Reasons: Customer has variable data integration needs from their customers, which leads to multiple integration and development activities for each new customer they provide services to.  Customer is doing too many “one-off” processes for meeting these data needs.

Vision:  Provide Customer with an improved SDLC process and toolsets using Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Microsoft SharePoint (MOSS) 2007.  Provide improved collaboration and governance by creating reusable SDLC templates and team site portals.

AETEA Provided: A fully integrated and repeatable SDLC process utilizing MOSS and TFS as well as process consulting on Agile SDLC processes.  AETEA also provided training for project managers and technical staff on how to utilize and effectively leverage TFS.

Results: This solution has provided Customer with improved SDLC processes and has reduced the time and risk associated with integrating new customers within their service framework.  Customer also markets these capabilities to customers as part of their delivery strategy.
