We’ve Been In Business Since 1991
Since 1991 we have prioritized our customers’ software development needs into one category; important! And whether we’re asked to provide an outside perspective, as in an architecture assessment, or join your team to add an extra boost of proven expertise and help ensure the project goes smoothly and stays on budget and on time, you get a company and a resource behind you that has earned a reputation as a proven leader.
Experience and Soft-Skills Equal Success
Our technical expertise stands on its own but is only one of many value-adds you get from our consultants when they provide an architecture assessment, help with development, or provide oversight to an offshore team that is struggling. We are not a body shop. Our consults are experts in their field and pride themselves on bringing more to the project. Clear communication and soft skills are just part of the package when you hire Intertech. The ability to ask hard questions without offending or fear of retribution is another benefit of an outside perspective from consultants with a network of senior talent in their corner.

Building a Foundation for Trust: The Team Working Agreement
While nothing can guarantee project success… there are things a team can do to improve your chances.
A Team Working Agreement can clarify how the team plans to work together, helping them gel more quickly and build trust and confidence in one another. In Scrum teams, it’s critical for the Scrum Master to make sure this gets created as soon as possible.In this article we cover what it is, why you should have one, what it looks like, and what to do once created.
Understanding the Distinctions and Parallels Between Team Charters and Team Working Agreements in Software Development
While these two tools share common goals, they have distinct purposes and structures.
In software development, team charters and team working agreements are crucial tools that foster effective collaboration and promote a positive team environment. Understanding their similarities and differences can help teams choose the proper framework or use both in tandem to optimize their collaborative efforts.

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 to set a strong foundation. Using the Software Requirements Analysis, the design phase encompasses how the application and users interact with each other, the current infrastructure, and other applications. In addition, this phase deals with architecture, the user interface, and the user experience, 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 rather than ours. Of course, top talent is a key to our success, but a proper blend is a formula for project success. At Intertech, we take our responsibility seriously, and experience tells us what works and what doesn’t. Based on this, and using what we’ve learned in stage one and stage two, we define your team, whether you are filling the role or we are, estimate the timeline, and keep you updated every step of the project, so there are no surprises.
Areas Considered In The Build Phase:
- Technical Requirements
- Timeline
- Development
- Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing
- Incremental Product Release (Faster to Market)
- Refinement & Deployment
We Ensure All The Pieces Are In Place For A Successful Handoff
Following the final release, we make sure you are in control. Whether you keep us around as a trusted partner or have us hand it off to your team, we understand that a solid knowledge base is one of the most important aspects of a project. Therefore, following deployment and before we hand over the keys, we always include 30 days of monitoring and mentoring to ensure a smooth roll-off and that your internal team is in control.
Areas Considered In The Completion Phase:
- Support & Lifecycle
- Documentation
- Knowledge Base Retention
- Team Roll-Off
Our Dedicated IT Recruiting Department Augments Our Consulting Services Perfectly
If you trust your project and recruitment to someone, consider our dedicated tech recruiting department. Our recruiters have a proven track record supporting our consulting clients and us since 1991. Through the years, Intertech has helped small and large companies like GE Healthcare, NASA, Best Buy, and others modernize or pivot to new technologies and find the right staff. Utilizing a proven formula that combines world-class software development, hands-on education and mentoring, and dedicated IT recruiting, Intertech’s clients have found success building software while building their in-house team for the long haul.
Areas Considered In The Recruit & Hire Phase:
- Ad Placement
- Technical Testing
- Personality Assessment
- Technical Team Interview
- Hand-off To You For Internal Assessment
On your next project, consider injecting proven full-time expertise backed by a network of colleagues with senior skills and an extensive knowledge base instead of a VMS-selected heads-down contractor that fits their price structure rather than what defines your reputation. Intertech focuses on its people and the value they bring to all our clients so you get it right the first time.
