When BNT Solutions was incorporated in 2001 there was one goal in particular that ran as a thread through everything that was done: simplify, simplify, simplify! Of course there are some things that, even though you try to keep them as simple as possible, are still going to be somewhat complicated. In these cases, the only solution is to Hold Hands with the customer as We Walk Through the Project Together. Towards that end, many documents were written and prepared over the years that try to help the customer to understand the How and Why of success in various areas.

The Software Development Cycle is one of those documents. The on-time and on-budget delivery of a successful software project is not difficult to achieve but it's never an accident. The only way to build a software system successfully is to work together, taking all the necessary steps while following a solid and reliable process. The Software Development Cycle is a big-picture overview of the process as followed at BNT Solutions, Inc. It has recently been updated and posted to azertech.net.

I hope you'll find it useful and I look forward to your comments.
