Connect@OnGraph

If you are a technology startup, we believe that there are few basic things that you need to have in place if you want to be a successful delivery organization. Most of the startups cannot afford to or rather would not like to setup a dedicated IT support or process-management staff.

At OnGraph, we thought about what are the core key metrics so as to help us evaluate any process or tool or methodology before we can invest any time or effort or capital, to adopt it as part of our delivery practice. We came up with the following simple metrics :-

• Quick to implement or incorporate

• No maintainance overheads

• Open Source or Free or Community Driven

• Promotes or augments Agile Development Methodology

Below are the top 10 tools/processes/frameworks/systems that we at OnGraph have adopted based on above metrics and that we recommend to every technology group. We have been very efficient in our delivery methodology and our clients are loving our way of doing things since its bringing to them what they really want, 100% success for their businesses.
