As well as in-depth knowledge and industry-leading best practice, North’s proven design and development process ensures all technology solutions are delivered to the highest quality standards.
Our flexible approach allows us to tailor design solutions and delivery methods to your needs and to your particular environments, however complex. Typical stages include:
• Pre-sales design
• Post-sales design
• Specialist design and development
• Innovative IoT solutions design
• Operational management
Our design teams work alongside you to gather all inputs, documentation and information we need to progress with confidence and clarity. Through workshops and consultations, we work to understand your exact needs.
Our teams of specialist consultants guide you through each stage of the design, making sure chosen solutions are fit for purpose and perform to deliver against agreed goals.
Our solutions architects work closely with you to document all design decisions, for a smooth transition to project delivery. Core documentation includes:
High Level Design (HLD)
-
- High level solution description
- High level drawings
- Outline bill of materials
Low Level Design (LLD)
-
- Detailed schematics
- Configuration details
- Software versions
- Dependencies on other systems and services
- Detailed bill of materials
Through these activities, we create scopes of work, functional and performance requirements, budgets and timescales that are reviewed and agreed upon in a customer specification. We take pride in designing bespoke solutions, and we always work to all relevant standards, codes of practice, and manufacturer design guides. For complete quality assurance, we implement controls to ensure that:
• Required results are defined
• Reviews are conducted
• Activities are verified and validated
• Problems are identified and resolved
• Documented records are retained
