Momentum™ Methodology

Methodology overview

Momentum™ Methodology is GridwiseTech's systematic approach to database scalability bottlenecks. It is the process we follow from the day we find out about a customer's problem to the day we report a successful solution deployment. Momentum™ Methodology contains procedures, best practices, software tools and associated proven solution patterns put together into a single, coherent service offer. It is executed by team of engineers with a proven track of record of similar deployments.

Business Benefits

Momentum™ Methodology lifts the painful process of diagnosing, recommending and deploying change from your shoulders. It allows you to systematically transform inefficient architectures into modern, scalable systems. Besides its technology focus, it is strongly business oriented. MM starts with business analysis, understanding the customer’s desires and priorities and estimating the business impact of various improvement patterns in measurable terms. Total cost of change is calculated and improvements with high a return of investment (ROI) expectations are recommended. The analysis also accounts for each customer's readiness for change, accepted level of risk at various steps of the process and the technology intrusiveness of potential solutions. As a result, any recommendation made has a solid probability of not only technical success but positive business impact.

Technical Scope

The technical track of Momentum™ Methodology improves database efficiency by controlled change deployment within a customer’s infrastructure. The change can range from conservative and non-intrusive techniques, such as optimizations or upgrades to, at the other end of the spectrum, advanced integrations with distributed paradigms of Grid, Cloud, Distributed Cache, or Virtualization, transforming the system into a real-time, distributed platform. The choice of method is made together with the customer and results from business analysis.

Quality

Change is implemented by strictly following Momentum™ procedures that control quality, project management, communication and best technical practices. This focus on quality is yet another way to minimize integration risk and maximize chances of success. At any stage of our Methodology, different elements work together towards reaching that goal. It starts out with the transparency of our process and planning, and goes through to a flexible approach to changes and conscious risk management, to staying constantly in touch with customers. Finally, with each new project we continue to improve the Methodology.
