We are committed to delivering high-quality ECM products and solutions for our customers by investing in continuous process improvement activities. Our operational processes are maintained and developed based on the ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE) standards.
We deliver ECM products and solutions as IT system projects. We define a project as a managed set of sequential and parallel tasks carried out and managed by our skilled professionals. In the project planning phase, our standard processes are tailored to fit the project’s situational factors, such as project scope and stakeholder specific requirements. Likewise, the project’s lifecycle model is chosen according to need. We can flexibly use both iterative and waterfall development models.
Elinar’s standard processes are based on the ISO/IEC 12207 life cycle processes.
We use ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE) standard to assess process capability. In addition, we gather customer feedback and use experience-based knowledge to further improve our operative performance and customer satisfaction.
