Consultancy
Templemore Technologies offers a wide range of knowledge based consultancy services. These can taken individually or combined to provide a full-lifecycle offering.
Business Analysis
Our business analysis consultancy is a full spectrum service from initial idea inception through to production of detailed analysis models and documentation. We are able to work with product owners, sales staff, developers, customers and end users in order to gather, categorise and refine requirements. We are conversant with a wide range of techniques including business process modelling, interviews, questionnaires, use cases, user stories and domain modelling. Analysis can be documented in a range of ways from a very agile index card approach through to full use case documents.
Detailed Design
We offer a full detailed design service. This usually consists of UML modelling to a level where developers can create the project code. The exact level of design detail will vary from project to project. In a highly agile environment modelling may consist of a whiteboard session with analysts, customers and developers. In a more formal project it may consist of highly detailed design documents that can be passed to a separate implementation team. Designs are based on industry best practice using correct notations and design patterns.
Architecture Definition
Key to any project is establishing a flexible architecture that meets the current project needs and that is adaptable to future requirements. At the same time it is necessary to make sure the architecture is not ‘over engineered’, as this unnecessarily increases costs and development times. Our architecture definition consultancy works with analysts and designers to determine the architecture requirements, defines and documents the architecture, evaluates and selects products and frameworks that meet the requirements and recommends working practices for getting the most out of the architecture. We can also undertake development of critical architecture components if required.
Implementation
We are able to offer full implementation in a range of languages including Java, Ruby and C++. Implementation can be from detailed design of can be carried out in a very agile way while working with customers and the product owner. All coding is done to an exceptionally high quality with fully documented code and is delivered with comprehensive unit test cases.

When writing code we always implement detailed unit test cases. Beyond this we can offer specification and implementation of functional and integration tests. We are also able to undertake system tests such as performance, scalability and resilience,
