Saggezza - Technology with Wisdom

Saggezza’s experience in modernising document composition infrastructures and our team of offshore developers (who combine composition skills with a mastery of more mainstream technologies like .net and Java), means we’re able to take the problem away. 

We can help in three ways:

1 Composition Factory

Saggezza’s offshore composition factory takes over day-to-day development of new document templates and changes. We have a large team which means we can set the appropriate level of resources and agree SLAs to suit your specific needs.

The offshore team can take care of all the analysis, design, development and testing of document applications, using document composition tools like HP Dialogue alongside data processing tools and .Net/Java. 

Usually a small on-site team will define and manage document changes, create requirements documentation and manage communication between you and the offshore team – this ensures that you get maximum value and consistent quality, whilst also providing a visible face for you to deal with on a daily basis.

The benefits of the composition factory approach are:

• Flexibility - the factory is set up to fit within your existing business process and allows you scale the size of the offshore team in line with demand
• Reliability - rigorous quality management and a solid SLA structure mean that we deliver what you expect, on time
• Cost-effective - our offshore team, consistent processes, economies of scale and increased productivity all drive a lower total cost of delivery
• Security - our comprehensive security framework ensures that working with our offshore team is at least as secure as on-shore alternatives

2 Document Conversion

Looking to migrate your documents from one platform to another? Perhaps from an older HP Dialogue version to Version 8. Saggezza’s experienced team can help.

We work with clients to assess their current document inventory, looking at complexity, process flows, business logic, output formats and data volume.  This gives a measure of the effort required for the conversion. Our on-site analysts, backed by offshore developers, will then create a conversion plan, showing the resources required and the realistic timeline. The same team then executes the conversion, performing rigorous quality assurance before deploying into your target production environment.

Benefits:

• Reliable, quality-assured conversion
• Detailed, transparent project management and client liaison
• Cost-optimized solution using our offshore team to do the execution, whilst a local presence means our team is always visible and accessible

3 Architecture Review

Is your existing document composition infrastructure holding you back? There can be a lot of unnecessary cost caused by complex legacy composition landscapes. Old technology requires special skills which are increasingly expensive. Poor documentation means every change has to be rigorously researched to be sure it won’t have unforeseen impact elsewhere. And it’s hard to scale a team up or down to deal with changes in demand – e.g. building a team for a major document rebranding. Let Saggezza help. Our team is experienced in major architecture reviews. We can assess your current composition environment, understand your business needs and design an architecture that will provide for your needs now and in the future.

Benefits

• Reduce costs by modernising your composition architecture, you shift to newer, more available skills sets for maintenance, increase programmer productivity and leverage IT investments to support new business models
• Increase quality document creation and update is made more reliable and higher quality, due to reduced complexity in the maintenance infrastructure and increased transparency, artefact sharing and improved testability of artefacts
• Increase flexibility document composition takes less time, is easier to plan and impacts fewer systems than before, meaning the whole operation is more flexible
