Applicate IT is a consulting business that specialises in custom software development using the .Net framework.

We use an Agile approach to developing solutions with clients, as experience has shown that it is very difficult for most clients to articulate their exact requirements up front. The traditional waterfall approach to building software (requirements, analysis, design, development, test, deployment) is flawed as it was born out of engineering mindsets that tried to take tangible practices across into the virtual world.  You may get some level of comfort locking down features in reams of documents up front, but the total cost of ownership is nearly always higher as the further into a project you need to change something, the more expensive it becomes to achieve that change.

That’s why Agile works. We focus on building working software that aligns with your business, not the other way around. By using functional software prototypes we are able to better understand the core features of a system.  This always brings true requirements to the surface as it is much easier for clients to say what doesnt work in a prototype than what does work but only ‘on paper’.
