Solution Design and Build

Working to clearly defined parameters

Our start point is your already defined and documented needs – informed by a strong understanding of your organisation’s activities.

From here we apply Building Blocks' principles of transparency, to document a clear vision of what the design and build is to achieve.

Painting the picture

We want everyone involved to understand the project's scope and how objectives are to be achieved. Building Blocks' strong processes and robust documentation make sure all stakeholders and key personnel gain the full picture.

Through past implementations Building Blocks have refined a set of standard design and build approaches for SDL Tridion – they're the proven key to a well controlled but flexible process:

  • Dedicated specialist SDL Tridion design team
  • Early involvement of build team allows smooth, low risk transition from design to build
  • Strong project management policies – regular contact and reporting keeps you up to speed
  • Project manager has technical bias, so understands your solution in detail
  • Prototyping – fully interactive wireframes deliver a realistic early experience of how the solution will work
  • Build
  • Testing – for example, UAT, 'Think Aloud Protocol' and eye tracking
  • Deployment – planned in advance with your IT people to minimise the risk of surprises

Handover made easy

At the subsequent point of handover, we'll provide full documentation and training material. And the fully finalised specification will reflect every aspect of the finished solution. It all means that you gain full and immediate control of your solution.
