APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
When you acquire QUIPU´s Application Maintenance Services, you are assigned
a team of professionals with the goal of developing, in the shortest possible
time, a strong expertise in your application and understanding your line of
business. The team assumes the daily IT activities involved in maintaining,
troubleshooting, analyzing and assessing your application for enhanced efficiency
and performance.
APPLICATION MIGRATION
QUIPU offers optimal solutions for migrating applications from old platforms
to the latest architectures. We provide end-to-end solutions for seamless
migration right from planning, installing, and verifying, to personalizing, testing,
data migration, and support.

ADMINISTRACIÓN DE BASE DE DATOS
La migración desde una base de datos que ha sido utilizada durante un largo
período de tiempo puede ser una tarea difícil y no exenta de riesgos. QUIPU
ofrece una metodología de migración de bases de datos sencilla y eficiente
obteniendo como resultado un movimiento exitoso de sus bases de datos desde
una plataforma a otra nueva.
12
DATA BASE ADMINISTRATION
When required, remote DBA services are covered by a Service Level Agreement
(SLA), including all the parameters needed, that range from simple database
growth to reduction of gaps in service coverage to 24X7 proactive support
services that can help detect issues before they occur. Additionally, we provide
a number of valuable reports designed to assist in database system performance.
QUIPU will help you define the best administrative strategies, minimize risks
and exposure to unwanted downtime and make sure your databases operate
at the highest efficiency, regardless of the workload.
We provide our customers with information resources, analytical tools and most
important, of certified database experts who can assist you to understand and
evaluate the full range of database administration options letting you build a
strong database administration and technology strategy.
Finally, our offices in Perú, offer a special advantage due to the time difference
with European countries. This 6 to 7 hours difference allows to run back-office
and data quality assurance (including manual processes when necessary) to
ensure error free data bases at the time clients start working in Europe.
Migrating from a database platform that has been used for a long period of
time can be a difficult and prolonged task due to the differences among vendor’s
standards. QUIPU offers a comprehensive database migration methodology in
which you are guided during all the process, obtaining as a result, a successful
movement of your database from one platform to another.
Our database consultants work closely with your in house team to create a
cost-effective and quick migration plan. We share the potential risks and the
associated mitigation plan, minimize the cost of migration and rapidly port the
database, allowing for reduction in system downtime during the transition.
QUIPU will guide you to make your migration as seamless as possible. We will
provide you the best practices that enable you to maintain your system’s
performance after the migration is complete.

Tecnología
Desde su aparición, internet ha cambiado muchos aspectos de nuestras vidas.
Con la difusión de esta tecnología y las oportunidades que ofrece, muchos
empresarios se han visto en la necesidad de cambiar sus clásicos procesos
manuales por sistemas automatizados, brindando a las compañías mejoras
sociales, económicas, y tecnológicas, y proveyendo así un mejor servicio a sus
clientes.
QUIPU se mantiene siempre al día con las tendencias que propone el mercado
mediante la utilización de una gran variedad de tecnologías de vanguardia y
la capacitación constante de sus colaboradores en el uso de las mismas.
Ayudar a nuestros clientes a mantenerse en la vanguardia de la tecnología de
la forma mas sencilla y económica posible, sí es para QUIPU un fin en si mismo
y parte de nuestro negocio principal.

Technology
Since its appearance, the Internet has changed many aspects of our lives. With
the spread of this technology and the opportunities it offers, many business
owners have realized the need of changing their traditional manual processes
with automated systems, giving their companies social, economic and
technological improvements and thus, providing better service to its customers.
Ignoring this trend is a risk for any company, but adapting to the fast and
constant evolution of technology is not a simple task neither a cheap one.
What is worst, due to the necessary resources it requires, is that it can be seen
as a target itself instead of what it should really be: just a mean for companies
to develop their core business in a more efficient and competitive way.
QUIPU always keeps up with the market trends by using a variety of advanced
technologies and continuously training its employees in their usage. For us,
helping our clients to keep up to date with the latest technologies in the most
simple and economic way is indeed part of our core business.

Metodología
La gestión eficiente de proyectos de desarrollo de software requiere la utilización
eficiente de los recursos, una correcta gestión del riesgo, estimación de
presupuestos y de plazos, experiencia en la selección de las tecnologías
adecuadas y la planificación correcta de entregas parciales que satisfagan las
necesidades del cliente de cara a la explotación de sus aplicaciones.
Algunos beneficios
• Frecuencia de la interacción entre el cliente y el equipo de desarrollo. Esto
suele dar lugar a una elevada motivación del equipo al conseguirse una
mayor alineación con los objetivos del cliente.
• Posibilidad de afinar requerimientos y diseño, así como para gestionar los
cambios en ambos durante todo el proceso de desarrollo.
• Posibilidad de validar partes del software de forma incremental, reduciendo
de esta forma el riesgo de forma muy significativa.
SECUENCIAL O TRADICIONAL
Esta metodología puede utilizarse cuando el cliente tiene una idea muy clara
de sus necesidades, ha definido sus requerimientos y elaborado los documentos
necesarios con el máximo detalle.
Algunos beneficios
• Alcance del proyecto bien definido desde el comienzo.
• Documentación funcional y técnica muy detallada.
• Seguimiento detallado en cada una de las fases.

Methodology
Managing complex software development projects is about efficient utilization
of resources, risk management, accurate estimation of budgets and timelines,
experienced selection of appropriate technologies, and scheduling feature
development to meet time-to-market requirements.
In order to handle the complexity of this process QUIPU has adopted two major
developing options:
AGILE OR ITERATIVE
Under this approach projects are divided into incrementing modules, which can
be refined during the process.
Main benefits
• Quick feedback loop from business stakeholders to engineering staff and
back to business stakeholders. This usually leads to a higher team motivation
as a result of a better alignment with client targets.
• Ability to refine requirements and design, and handle changes in both
during the product lifecycle.
• Ability to validate pieces of design incrementally, providing continuous
analysis and mitigating the risks.
SECUENTIAL OR TRADITIONAL
This methodology is chosen when the client has a very clear idea of its needs
and has defined and analyzed its requirements and elaborated the necessary
detailed documents.
Main benefits
• Defined project scope
• Detailed functional and technical documentation
• Detailed tracking in each of the phases.

Modelos de
Negocio
QUIPU ofrece dos posibles modelos de negocio con el fin de adaptarse a las
distintas necesidades de sus clientes. Sin desechar la opción de poder diseñar
con el cliente el modelo que mejor se adapte a sus necesidades.
EQUIPO DEDICADO
La experiencia nos indica que este modelo es, sin duda, el más efectivo para
maximizar a medio plazo las ventajas que deben resultar de la decisión
estratégica de iniciar un proceso de IT offshoring.
18
Engagement
Models
QUIPU offers two different engagement models to meet the diverse needs
of our clients. You can choose from one of them or a combination of both
for different phases of your project. We can work with you to customize a
model to address your specific need.
Through such dedicated facilities, we offer the best skill sets, resources,
flexibility and time-to-market advantages to the customers, taking all necessary
efforts to protect the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) of the customers. All
rights to the IPR developed in the Development Facility vests with the customer.
We also offer a more traditional engagement model, which you can choose
when the scope and specifications for the projects are reasonably clear.
