Project Managment

Our slogan beyond the change reflects our philosophy and that of our partners; good products only become great when complemented by first class project management and a seamless, co-ordinated service. Our closely integreated operations team is structured into two main areas; Project Management and our three tiered Client and Partner Competence Centre.

Project Management

Being a software vendor with the experience of 300 migration projects to date, HTWC has developed a standard project methodology for our partners, complemented by a certification process.
Our projects are typically divided into 5 main phases with validation loops, irrespective of scope and scale of each project.
Please note, a large degree of the main activities are automatic, so we allocate a majority of the project time for testing to achieve uncompromising quality results.
