Todays'
Software - a perspective Software
is the key differentiator of the products and services supplied by many
companies. If you look at the 'whole life cost' of a software product or
particularly a service, the cost of poor quality software can be very high.
Estimates of the cost of software maintenance range from 45 to 75% of the
whole life cost (depending upon the source and how maintenance is defined -
J.Foster, 1997). Our aim is to enable you, by process improvement, to control
these costs. How
we work Our ethos
is to work with you, not for you. From our experience - sustained process
improvement cannot be imposed from outside, either by consultants or the
customer. It has to come from within the company for it to be accepted and
effectively implemented. For details see our CEO slide show "CEO Introduction to Process Improvement for
Software and IT" or contact us. Why
should you use TLP?
The TLP
Partnership has many year's experience in working with people to successfully
improve their business capability and bottom line results. We particularly
specialise in the IT, software, finance and communications business sectors. We
provide an integrated portfolio of products and services to meet your
individual business needs, starting at the level most appropriate to you for
your current business capability, environment and business maturity. The TLP
Partnership was formed 6 years ago, to specialise in process capability and
quality improvement particularly in Software Engineering, Information
Technology (IT), Information Management Systems, Financial Services and the
Communications Industries. The
partners have many years experience in building installing and providing
consultancy in Process Improvement, Supplier Assessment and Management,
Project Management and Quality Management Systems. Our aim is to make you
work more effectively. To this end we have been involved in building and
using process assessment techniques for assessing the capability of
Management Information Systems, Software Developments and Software Systems,
for process improvement and supplier selection. Two of
the partners have been major drivers in the SPICE (ISO15504) project - an
international initiative to enable Software Process Capability and Process
Improvement to be measured and benchmarked. The SPICE project will become the
new ISO standard for Process Capability Determination and Process
Improvement. The
partners have co-authored four books and many papers on software engineering
and managing large IT projects. |
