We base our work on a deep
understanding of the business
and processes of our clients; we
think and operate as partners.
We understand each project
as an opportunity to learn and
transfer knowledge, seeking
to add value to the client. Our
challenge is to understand and
meet our client’s needs.
Software Development
Our engagement framework is flexible enough
to accommodate for large and complex turnkey
projects as well as smaller pilot projects. We work
either in a project-based model or in a resource-
based model.
Execution of Turnkey Projects
Hexacta has a diverse and proven track-record in
providing complete turnkey services, as well as in
participating in individual segments of the project.
We can engage in any of the stages of the
software development life cycle (project planning
and monitoring, elicitation and management of
requirements, software construction, testing
planning and execution, training planning and
execution, solution implementation).
Our work teams include a variety of profiles: Project
Managers, Software Architects and Developers,
Functional Consultants, Testers and User Interface
Designers. Clients are an integral part of our teams,
either with a full time or part time dedication.
Offshore Dedicated Teams
Hexacta can work as a seamless extension of the
client teams; we can adapt to the development
processes used by the client or use our own.
Dedicated teams are usually retained for a specific
period of time, generally one year as a minimum. They
normally work from our development centers, but there
is always the possibility to travel in case it is required.
These engagements are characterized for creating
flexible work plans administered jointly by the
leader of the team and the project leader from the
client. The focus of the team’s work can either be
a new product or application development, or the
maintenance of an existing system.

Technology
Since our beginnings we have specialized in two of
the most important platforms in the market: Java
and .NET. Each one of them brings together a wide
range of technologies, products and frameworks.
We have had the opportunity to work for our
clients on projects of diverse complexity, ranging
from simple information systems and web sites to
complex enterprise type architectures, desktop or
web-enabled applications, traditional n-tier and
service oriented architectures. Over the years we
have learnt many lessons on how to use these
technologies effectively and our clients can benefit
from this valuable experience.
We stand out for the use of
advanced technologies that
combined with a mature and
flexible development process,
result in high quality and cost
effective solutions.
