Web and application development
Are you confident that your IT project:
- Will be on time and on budget and deliver a positive return on investment?
- Won’t require endless change requests to fix problems or meet requirements?
- Will be easy to learn, use and improve people’s productivity?
Not sure? If you want confidence in your IT project, then you need PTG Global and Rage...
Most software and website projects are late, over budget, hard to use and don’t improve performance. They require ongoing change requests and constant version releases to try and get them right, diminishing the return on investment and frustrating users.
Our integrated software development service uses the IT Blueprint to solve this problem. The IT Blueprint is a clear and unambiguous specification that creates a clear line of sight between strategy, KPIs and application behaviour. It’s completed in the first few weeks or months of the project and gives business, users and IT staff clarity on the end goal.
With the IT Blueprint, you know your application will work, be usable and deliver a clear ROI, before it’s built. We then develop the application exactly to specification. You have absolute confidence that your application will meet your requirements and improve user and business performance — on the first release.

For the same costs as local development firms, you get a full service solution combining world class usability and user interface design from PTG Global with rapid, cost effective offshore development from Rage — all backed by PTG Global’s 12 month warranty and professional indemnity insurance.

The IT Blueprint: The framework to deliver IT that works
The IT Blueprint is a complete and unambiguous application specification including business and user requirements, workflow, business rules, data model and the complete user interface. The IT Blueprint puts you in control of your IT project from the start:
- Lets you run your business as you want to, rather than conforming to the way an off-the-shelf package works
- Bridges the communications gap between business and IT and ensures everyone has a common understanding of the end goal
- Provides multiple go / no go points throughout the design and development process to mitigate risk
- Rapidly delivers to support the business case and the decision to proceed to development
- Can be directly implemented, without interpretation
Requirements: The foundation for user and business performance
Missing and incorrect requirements are one of the major issues with delivering IT that works. Our requirements and analysis blends industrial psychology, change management and business process modelling to embed key performance drivers in the application behaviour:
- Quickly and accurately captures business, user and user interface requirements
- Specifies clear and measurable performance improvements
- Documents requirements in a way that the business, users and IT project team can all understand
- Stops ongoing iteration, change requests and project delays caused by missing or inaccurate requirements
- Aligns people, business and technology into a unified solution
User interface design: Get it right the first time with XPDesign
As far as the user is concerned, the application is the user interface. With the user interface done upfront, users can see and test the interface so you know it will be usable and meet user requirements before the build starts. XPDesign is our high performance user interface design methodology that:
- Reduces the number of screens by 50 — 80%
- Makes the application easy to learn and use, cutting training and support costs
- Standardises people’s performance at high levels, increasing compliance
- Provides scalability and flexibility to support change, without wholesale redesign
- Gives you a competitive edge through intuitive, high value services
Development: Bringing agility to client deliveries
With the clarity from the IT Blueprint, you know that by the end of development, the application will meet requirements and improve performance — there’s no need for ongoing change requests.
- Over 100 staff in a cross-functional team across Business Analysis, Design and Technology
- A ‘gene pool’ that allows the right skills to be made available for any project
- Detailed planning of work flow to ensure ‘first-time-right’ deliveries
- Online tracking systems to reduce cycle time between creation and approval
User acceptance testing: Technical and usability testing
Prior to launch, we rigorously test the application to deliver the quality that you need to effectively use IT to run your business:
- Stringent quality control of language, file size, style conformity, link stability
- Technical / bug testing
- Platform / browser compatibility testing
- Usability testing
- Eye tracking to test the visual effectiveness of the graphic design
- Load / stress testing
