About Us
Your Partner for
Software and Digital Design
Techniciti and its consultants have been the go-to partner for some of the world's most successful enterprises, SMEs and tech disruptors. We take businesses to the next level with our tailor-made software development, digital design and consulting solutions.
Our focus is to help you deliver your products or services to your clients most effectively and engagingly possible. Let us help you unlock the true potential of your business!
What We Do
We approach each project as a true collaboration in conception. We offer our expertise and guidance whenever needed to ensure that the entire process is as smooth and error-free as possible. Our commitment to quality is with you from concept through to post-implementation support, so you can be assured both during and after the development process.
We believe the creation process begins the moment we connect with our clients. Our goal is to provide strategies and solutions that go beyond the expected. To make sure we deliver, we embrace the creation and conception process. Through this process, we ensure that we listen thoroughly to our clients' expectations and needs.
Our approach to all our web and software production involves the six staged agile life cycle of development: Analyse, Design, Implement, Test, Deploy & Maintain.
We approach each client engagement using a defined set of policies, processes, and procedures. Each client is assigned a project manager who is to be heavily involved in either the technical or creative side of the build – ensuring that the project management isn’t left to someone who simply fills out timesheets and acts as nothing more than a bridge. They are involved hands-on and will have full knowledge and understanding of the project, the creation, implementation and design.
This person acts as the primary point of contact for your organisation. They will guide any other members of the team through the development process to ensure timely and high-quality completion. Our team use a comprehensive set of checklists, tasks and procedures that are tailored to each client. Daily project status meetings are held between the team, that focus on answering three questions:
- “What have you done since yesterday?”
- “What are you planning to do today?”
- “Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?”
This transparency and daily review of progress mitigates risk and ensures that close management of the project occurs at every stage. We utilise many technologies to manage projects, including GitHub, Slack, Trello etc as required. These systems allow us to systematically manage complex projects.
We guide you through the following discovery, planning, design and production process. Adhering to this process will ensure a successful outcome. Our goal in this analytical phase is to define features concretely, determine technology integration specifics, and prioritise features so that investment is made in those areas that will provide the greatest return on investment for our clients.
