At Scio, we leverage our collaborative development process and custom agile methodology to deliver Internet-based applications and SaaS products for our customers. Our development teams are small, well versed in all aspects of application delivery, and dedicated to ensuring your projects deliver maximum value.

Scio’s custom approach to agile is focused on planning, collaboration, quality and early delivery of business value. Early review in the development cycle gives more opportunities for feature tuning and a better opportunity for success.

Software development is as more of a process of discovery than most people realize. Lists of features and functionality cannot convey an application “personality” that will make it usable and productive experience. As an application is developed, use patterns become established and evolve to expose opportunities that couldn’t be interpreted from basic functional requirements. An evolutionary approach is an asset of agile methodologies, but can only be effectively leveraged in a collaborative working environment. Scio’s software development practice is a balance of customer team engagement and formal processes that allows feedback and change while maintaining project integrity and quality.

In Scio’s technique, agile methodologies provide a framework of short, feature-led development and testing cycles. SCRUM addresses how the development team interacts and achieves the promise of agile. Lean addresses the need to remove unnecessary effort, to standardize, improve processes and increase efficiency.  Our software development lifecycle insures a complete and rigorous approach to all levels of application design, development, deployment and maintenance. Our project management, development and testing environment is fully integrated technically and tuned to our proprietary software development process. As a whole, these innovations lower the effort required for development, improve quality, allow managed change during the project, and enhance our customers ability to respond to evolving needs, quickly and effectively.

Scio provides a delivery model that scales to meet the needs of small, mid-sized, and large clients in a range of industries. Our development center is in Morelia, Mexico, which gives a nearshore advantage to our customers in the Americas. Our teams are composed of skilled developers and test engineers, with a range of experience in Internet-based applications as well as cloud technologies and services.
