We felt that if our own internal processes were properly governed and managed according to set standards, we would be in a better position to service both our internal as well as our external clientele.

Although the development of methodologies is a continues process at Octopus, we have thus far put together both a development methodology as well as a Quality Plan which have enabled us to produce both better internal checks as well as quality end products for our customers.

CADDIE

With our proprietary development methodology CADDIE™ (Clarify, Architect, Design, Develop, Implement, Evolve), Octopus helps you determine your goals and objectives not just at the beginning, but at each phase during the project. We then measure results against those expectations to determine the realized business value once your project is complete.
