Tactical Systems  | Methodology 

Solutions that exceed expectations 


We utilize a structured methodology, the "Tactical Operational Process" (TOP), to ensure that solutions exceed your expectations. Based on the Microsoft Solution Framework, this methodology reflects years of experience and success delivering mission-critical enterprise solutions.

TOP is adapted to your unique requirements to deliver solutions fast. Tactical Systems implementation times lead the industry, so you are guaranteed to see a rapid return on your investment.

The foundation for the TOP is communication.  We lay the groundwork for each successful project by performing extensive business process and systems analysis.  This analysis ensures all requirements are understood and agreed upon by all parties involved in the project.  The Tactical Systems team continues to communicate throughout the project by providing feedback on the status through weekly update meetings and reports.

The Tactical Operational Process (TOP) Methodology

1. Solution Definition

During this phase, the Tactical Systems team will work with you to complete business analysis, determine functional and technical requirements, and deliver a Solution Definition. The Solution Definition reflects your requirements and defines the scope of the project. It also includes the detailed project plan and schedule. Depending on the project complexity, this phase might also include a solution prototype.

2. Development

During this phase, the application is installed in a development environment and configured. Custom programming and application interfaces are also completed, if necessary.

3. Testing and Roll Out

Unit and system testing are completed by Tactical Systems. Preliminary data conversion is fulfilled, after which user acceptance testing occurs. Testing is followed by final data conversion and roll out.

4. Knowledge Transfer

During the Knowledge Transfer phase Tactical Systems delivers technical and end-user training and documentation, tailored to your unique requirements.  Knowledge Transfer ensures that your company is self-sufficient when the project is complete.

5. Support

Tactical Systems continues to provide support for many of our clients after their project has gone live. Since your business is dynamic, your solution must be flexible. Tactical Systems can provide you with support services to ensure your solution remains synchronized with your business goals.
