Quality, Productivity, and Technological Power



Quality and Productivity

Standardization and Institutionalization

Standardization of Requirements Definition Processes

As demands for IT systems become more advanced and complex, so does the importance of the requirements definition phase of the upstream process. At TIS, we use a unique requirements definition framework based on the Requirements Engineering Body Of Knowledge (REBOK) approach and collate customer requests in a rational manner to arrive at optimal requirements.

Test Plan Guidelines

Software test process is a series of activities practiced to ensure product quality, by verifying that the system under development meets all the functional and performance requirements. At TIS, we provide detailed test planning for the entire software development life cycle, from module testing to system testing, following the test plan guidelines based on a rich knowledge base.

ITIL-based Operational and Maintenance Framework

At TIS, we are committed to continuous service improvement while putting together ideas to provide attractive services in operation, maintenance, and enhanced development into our Trinity Enhancement Framework. By making use of this framework, our Service Managers deliver valuable services that place top priority on customers' business success.

Company-wide Standardization of Development Processes

To achieve the highly reliable TIS Quality standards, we strive for company-wide standardization of development processes for all products. The implementation of standard procedures and document format for each process enables us to maintain high quality standards while avoiding individual biases.

Standardization of Project Management Methods

TIS's VeiiNus framework embodies our knowledge and experience accumulated in the field of project management and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement of management quality. This framework helps our Project Managers upgrade their skills—including planning, progress management, problem management, and instructions for project members—and run projects smoothly.

Third-Party Risk Assessment

For early identification and prevention of risks in each project, we have third-party assessment and monitoring systems. In the case of large projects, we combine multiple systems—project status visualization by an assessment committee (whose members include company executives), technical architect reviews, and so forth—in order to increase project control. Also, for small and medium-sized projects, organizational process audits and/or architect reviews are performed by departments/divisions.

Security Audit before delivery of System and Service

We deliver systems and managed services with strict security audits enforced to ensure compliance with TIS's quality and security standards. Our internal audit department, Secure One Center, performs source code inspections for web applications, as well as penetration testing services to ensure that only qualified products are delivered to customers and thus guarantee high quality and security standards.
