About

The days of business people thinking of computers as being mystical, strange contraptions are well and truly over. Many of today's corporate workers grew up around technology. Software development is no longer perceived as a black art, performed by long haired social misfits in dark rooms with darker delivery schedules. Today's software solutions are expected to be provided by reliable, accountable and transparent professionals. It has become expected that we start delivering business value almost immediately and, driven by business value, continue to respond to business needs in an accurate and timely fashion.

This seldom happens.

Many IT players are still playing the old game. But the playing field has changed, and the ways we build software are changing with it. This is where Driven Software can help. By guiding you in the proper implementation of agile method and the latest development tools and techniques, Driven Software can assist in molding your teams or organisation into a lean, motivated, value driven business unit.

At Driven Software our efforts are guided by the following 5 principles...

  1. Software development should be driven by business value
  2. Delivery to business must become accountable, responsible and transparent
  3. The vital element of any software project is its people and their interactions
  4. Software should be created using an iterative and agile process
  5. The need should determine the technology, not the other way around.

In line with these principles, our approach is strongly informed by Agile and Lean principles and practices, including SCRUM and Extreme Programming (XP). We routinely use Microsoft products and solutions and have advanced skills and knowledge of the Microsoft developer platform and the CLR. One of the cornerstones of our service is the belief in the right tool for the right job. As such we are keenly aware of, and constantly evaluate, alternatives to ensure that clients are always working with and/or implementing the best solutions within the constraints of their timelines, scope and budget.

The Company not only strives to provide superior services but also has a strategy to address the current local deficit of skilled developers through training, mentorship and guidance both within industry and by engaging developer communities.

Please visit the Services section to find specific ways in which Driven can deliver on these promises.
