Application Development / Integration
As a partner of first choice, KPIT Cummins has been an integral part of the ongoing technology strategy for many of our customers for the past several years. We have been helping our customers to identify solutions to their ‘technology pains’ for over 17 years; and continue to build offerings that allow our customers to focus on their core business and affect their bottom line directly.
Drawing on our across the board technology expertise, presence and experience in major geographies, we have developed and integrated a wide variety of business applications for Financial Services customers. We have adapted SEI-CMM level 5 processes and consistently adopt these to our customers’ choice of development methodologies including Waterfall, Spiral, and Agile.
We specialize in AOSD (Agile Offshore Software Development) which uses small discrete work-packets, which lower design and delivery risks, with a continuous build and test environment. The application of this methodology (which relies on XP and RUP best practices as well as on Open source tools), facilitates the implementation of tools and processes adapted to offshore activities. It helps to mitigate the risk of distance, lack of visibility. AOSD's (Agile Offshore Software Development) major benefits are the ability to work with changing specifications, continuous integration and continuous visibility of code, quality and productivity. As a consequence, it allows controlling project planning efficiently.

Application Maintenance Service
Our industry leading process, FASORS has helped many businesses face the challenge of managing the increasing dependence on IT and has helped in reducing costs of development and maintenance.
This process utilizes interlocking steps to transition maintenance & support work to KPIT and comprises of:
- Feasibility study - The objective of this phase is to identify risks in current transition and explore future opportunities in business growth.
- As-is Assessment - The objective of this phase is to understand current system and process being followed and plan for the transition.
- Solution Design - The objective of this phase is to provide technical & process solution to the customer.
- Ops & Improvement, - The objective of this phase is to ensure knowledge transition is done and KPIT takes over smoothly.
- Review & Control - The objective of this phase is to monitor transition which is ongoing process.
- Steady State – Transition is complete, and KPIT Cummins will successfully own and maintain the application
Once the FASORS process has been completed, our mature application maintenance service will kick in and help keep the applications in constant steady state. We have the infrastructure and capability to transition and maintain applications in a multi-geographic delivery environment.
