The Quantiv Process
The Quantiv Commerce Platform is configured into unique customer solutions by a thorough process of requirements definition and business modelling.
In-house or outsourced development?
You can select whether the Quantiv system is developed by your own IT team (with Quantiv's training and support) or a systems integrator. Initial training takes approximately one week and is supplemented by on-going mentoring from Quantiv staff to ensure a successful result. Your team would be expected to have knowledge of business analysis and modelling as well as Microsoft .Net development experience.
Preparing the brief
Quantiv (or a systems integrator) will normally spend several days with you to define the scope of the work and to design the top level business models which will form the basis of the project. We would not normally provide a quotation until this stage is complete.
Modelling and development
Business modelling typically accounts for half the project timetable. During this phase, Quantiv analysts will define your structures, processes, and objectives - the building blocks for the Commerce Platform. The configuration, build and test phases can be delivered much faster than conventional development methods because Quantiv is working with proven software rather than building from scratch.
Quantiv recognises that the business environment is never static and requirements can regularly change during the course of a project. The Quantiv process and the Quantiv Commerce Platform are designed with change in mind.
After 'go live'
Most Quantiv customers start with a 'pilot' and build on this platform as their business and requirements grow and the system is used to respond to future needs. On-going support can be provided from either Quantiv or a systems integrator. You, the customer, not Quantiv, define the level and type of service you require.

Modelling Methods
Quantiv has developed a modelling technique which is an extension of the UML standard that combines static models (eg. organisational structures) with dynamic models (e.g. processes).
However, the Quantiv Commerce Platform can work with any modelling technique.
