Services and scope

Paragon are experienced with product and software development life cycles and can undertake any, or all, of the tasks required to produce your solution. We offer services to help with newly conceived ideas through to supporting the ongoing growth of an established product or service.

Project life cycle
  • Expert opinions
  • Design review

Paragon can provide expert advice on how to develop an idea or solve a problem. We work confidentially and will operate under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Organisations about to implement a design may seek independent advice from Paragon to better understand their options and mitigate any risks.

  • Initial costings
  • Feasibility

Paragon offer realistic assessments of scope including the time and technology required and what it should cost. We are experienced with many technologies and able to review their capabilities and limitations. Feasibility is often essential to help you manage project funding and to calculate the obtainable ROI.

  • Specification
  • Prototyping

The specification is established from the requirements and design features of a project and is typically refined in iterations. Most projects require a functional prototype to test the design and also the product's effectiveness in the real world.

  • Final specification
  • Implementation
  • Functional testing
  • Compliance testing
  • Factory production

The release or production of the end product is where Paragon's engineering and project management services come together to produce results. The design is solidified, implemented, tested and produced. We can also co-ordinate compliance testing, factory production and system deployment.

  • Maintenance
  • New features

The completion of a project is often only the start of an ongoing relationship where Paragon continues to offer services to support and grow the solution.

The full scope of our services can be employed for a full contract design service and technical project management. We typically work in a lightweight or agile process but cater for formal development methods. We scale our services and work within a business model that best suits our clients' needs.
