Edgewater Technology believes by placing an emphasis in the design phase, organizations will be able to:

• Reduce development costs;
• Integrate more effectively into their current IT infrastructure;
• Provide a flexible platform for more effective maintenance.

Design is more critical than ever in today's complex technology environment.  In order to expedite the process of building an application, business must evaluate all of their resources - determining what technologies and tools will integrate effectively within their current Information Technology (IT) infrastructure.  When design is done properly in the beginning, issues are addressed and rectified early, which prevents cost overruns when code and systems are developed prematurely.  Within this critical phase, Edgewater's team identifies and documents the detailed design of the solution to be developed.  Detailed decisions are made ranging from what technologies and tools will integrate with the client's current IT infrastructure to what creative resources will be required to maintain consistency with the client's current brand.
