Pinnacle Consulting has many delivery models, one of which should suit you. We also have experience with many software development processes and techniques. We can integrate with whatever process you require. Pinnacle does have an in-house process model, developed after years of working with many approaches. Our model is designed to support rapid development and frequent code drops. Nightly builds with continuous testing ensure that all code commits are quickly validated, or fixed.

               Many clients like our model and use the engagement opportunity to bring these productive techniques in-house. The length and delivery model for consulting varies to accommodate our clients. Typically consulting involves one or more software engineers working at the customer's site in a senior implementation and/or technical leadership role. Their diverse experience, command of object-oriented analysis and design, and level of expertise in one or more technology tracks (.NET, Java/J2EE, C++/C, VB, ASP, ORACLE, MAINFRAME) uniquely qualifies members of the Pinnacle team to contribute greater value when properly utilized.

• Mentoring

               Mentoring is a way of ensuring that your training investment is protected. Mentoring can be delivered at the customer's site or in a combination of on- and off-site support. It may involve reviewing use cases, designs, or coding methods, conventions and practices to ensure that the developer is properly applying what he/she has been taught. Mentoring may be delivered a few days each week over a limited period of time.
One mentor can often support 4-5 developers.

• Project Staffing

               Pinnacle provides developers and junior developers to our clients to work on site under their direction. We invest in our resources' professional development through training and mentoring. Be sure to check out Advantage, an Pinnacle staffing solution, to see if this model is more suited to your needs

• On-Site Self-Managed Development Teams

               When time and resources are constrained and the customer requires a low maintenance approach to aggressively complete a development project, Pinnacle has the solution: an on-site self-managed development team. This service delivery model involves one or more Principal Software Engineers providing leadership to other Pinnacle software engineers and developers. Our senior staff manage our team and help ensure your own leadership pool is not compromised by too rapid an expansion of project staff and lack of knowledge about each project team member's skills. The team works on-site with the customer's business domain experts and provides immediate and measurable results.

• Off-Site Application Development

               Pinnacle develops turn-key applications for customers using its development centers in Bhubaneswar, INDIA . Typically, we co-develop requirements and specifications on a time- and materials- basis and implement/build the application on either a T&M or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis.

               The Pinnacle development labs have a wide arrray of platforms and vendor partnerships to enable us to undertake any mix of technologies. Through our staffing arm, Advantage, we can supplement the skills of our development staff to meet specialized or short term needs.
