Proudly serving Minnesota, the Twin Cities, and clients nationwide since 1991.

According to a recent Standish Group CHAOS report, more than 66% of all software projects begin by focusing on the wrong things—solutions you thought you needed but didn’t, and fail. At Intertech, we help you identify these unknowns and establish a clear, agile track before you invest in something that may become obsolete before completion.

We Begin With Everything Necessary To Ensure The Project Team Is Complete

The discovery stage is crucial when setting up the correct team to deliver your project successfully. At times this has been completed before our introduction to the project. In these cases, you may have determined that you only need specific roles added to your project teams, and that is just one way we can help augment your team. Other times clients ask us to take on this role to get an expert outside perspective. Either way, this phase is essential and must be considered to be confident that you have the right talent in place and that what you are building or modifying integrates with your existing system.

Tools & Techniques We Employee:

    • Scope Detailing
    • Analysis
    • Technical Evaluation
    • Initial Requirements Defined
    • Define Delivery Strategy and Roadmap
    • Leveling Workshops (For Your FTE Team-Members – As Needed)

Building A Strong Foundation Is The Key To Success

Converting your vision into reality requires a clear picture of requirements and the experience necessary to set a strong foundation for your new reality. Using the Software Rrequirements Analysis, the design phase encompasses how the application and users interact with each other, with the current infrastructure, and with other applications. In addition, this phase deals with architecture and UI/UX, so all the elements come together seamlessly.

Areas Considered During The Design Phase:

    • Infrastructure
    • Architecture
    • User Interface & Experience Design
    • Usability Testing

We Ensure All The Pieces Are In Place For A Successful Composition

When selecting your team, we ensure it fits your needs, not ours. Of course, top talent is a key to our success, but a proper blend is a formula for project success. At Intertech, we specialize in talent that does more than heads-down programming, but we also understand not everyone on the team needs to be a senior or billing every hour of the day. So, using what we learned in stage one and how stage two comes together, we define your team and estimate the timeline, making sure to keep you updated every step, so there are no surprises.

Areas Considered In The Build Phase:

    • Technical Requirements
    • Timeline
    • Development
    • Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing
    • Incrememntal Product Release (Faster to Market)
    • Refinement & Deployment

Areas Considered In The Completion Phase:

    • Support & Lifecycle

Director of Operations

Tom Helvick

Experience and success typically go together. Add in curiosity, commitment to excellence, and a genuine concern for clients, and you’ll understand why Tom Helvick excels as Director of Operations at Intertech. Tom brings years of top-tier experience—and results—to his role leading our operational team. After years spent working for Deloitte as a Practitioner Support consultant (Tom was dispatched around the world to help correct distressed projects), creating a framework called ITASCA that is still in use today, and serving on the primary Microsoft team that vetted C# during the “C” development process, Tom moved to Intertech. He makes sure every project is matched with the most appropriate Intertech talent, so your project team is the right team.
 

“We are recognized and respected for how we use technology to build solutions for our clients. But at the heart of it, we are in a relationship business. Success isn’t just writing code. Success is understanding and caring about our clients’ business needs and delivering solutions that help them succeed.”

 

Why Did You Choose Consulting And Operations?

Consulting allows you to move outside your comfort zone and forge new relationships. I enjoy being in an almost continuous discovery phase where I’m learning about new clients and asking lots of questions. I quickly learn so much about people and companies, which ensures that I can connect the right Intertech team members to every client project.

Tom was nominated by one of his players and received the Minnesota Hockey Coaching Excellence award while coaching the Edina girls’ U15 “A” traveling team. He is currently a coach for Lakeville South’s Girls Varsity hockey team.
