Noblestar offers a complete set of services designed to be flexible and adaptable to different industries:
Process Improvement Services
These services help organizations achieve significant improvements in software delivery and increase the effectiveness of the IT organization. Whether you are looking to improve an existing practice, implement a new process where none exists, or migrate your organization to a new process for greater performance across the organization, we can craft a solution that fits your needs. Often times, these services produce roadmaps that bring clarity to the business executive's strategic vision for the organization. These services also involve deep dives into specific areas such as requirements elicitation, definition and management, quality engineering, operations, or perhaps the entire application life cycle.
Technology Enablement Services
In order to realize substantial improvement in software delivery and your IT organization, tools and automation are needed to enact the practices and processes. The appropriate blend of process and tools along with training and an adoption plan will yield substantial improvement. Noblestar will help you develop the right usage models and integrate a homogenous or heterogeneous tool infrastructure to support your software delivery life cycle. Our services also include installation, implementation, and upgrade of your market leading software delivery tools. Technology enablement can also come in the form of mentoring your staff with the latest tools, so that your staff can learn while making progress on project deliverables.
IV&V Services
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services help agencies and organizations ensure that their project's expected outcomes and work products for systems development meet the original needs and specifications. Noblestar helps to ensure that progress is being met as effectively and efficiently as possible, while in accordance to the overall objective or mission of the organization.
Formal Education
To ensure successful process adoption and tool usage, education is needed. In some cases, training and education is used to help promote new and refined practices that often prove to be difficult to gain commitment. We are firm believers of formal education, but often times mentoring and collaborating with our clients produce the best results. We also like to follow-up our formal courses with workshops and mentoring sessions, where the client can practice and better utilize their new skills in their environment. Our goal is to improve software delivery and the IT organization. We offer training in various disciplines such as requirements engineering and quality engineering, but also train our clients on some of the market leading application life cycle tools such as IBM Rational, Microsoft, and Borland.
Outsourcing
Outsourcing support can be a cost effective solution for you to provide more efficient, effective and higher quality support for your organization. Rather than having the dependency of a single employee or a staff of employees, you can rely on an organization that specializes in delivering software and managing an IT organization, while also having deep knowledge of some of the market leading application life cycle tool vendors. By outsourcing various IT functions or roles, you can achieve predictable costs with outstanding quality and expertise interjected into your organization.
Outsourcing can also come in the form of supplementing our expertise in various components of your teams. Noblestar enjoys teaming up with our clients, where our business analysts, technicians, and mangers work collaboratively towards the same goals. Collaboration involves mentoring, while producing the results that you need to achieve your objectives. Organizations join forces with Noblestar to develop world-class software engineering skills in their software delivery teams.
