The Client:
The client is a global leader in the design, development and operation of four-season resorts that include many places of recreation and leisure interest.


The Challenge:
A tight time line plus changing requirements for the project added challenges to the project.


The Solution:
The Sopra India team worked from the offshore development centre along with a local consultant to develop the application for the client.

• For this particular project, a significant amount of time was spent upfront during the requirements analysis stage, which proved to be a key success factor in delivering the project on schedule.
• A local requirements gathering consultant worked closely with the client to finalize the functional requirements.
• Sopra India initiated the requirements gathering process by facilitating brainstorming sessions with the client's key project stakeholders.
• As a starting point, Sopra India effectively captured these requirements and presented them to the client as user scenarios in the form of Use Cases and GUI mockups.
• As a result, Sopra India was able to quickly understand what was actually required and manage the expectations of the client.
• The next task was to transform those high level requirements into a low level functional specifications document. This document served as the baseline for all functionality requested by the client and for Sopra India's development team.

Technology Used:

• Microsoft .NET technology
