Completing the proof of concept validates that the architecture and technology are appropriate. After validation, the proof of concept is installed and becomes the first working piece of the system. Once the proof of concept is complete, the remainder of development is broken up into releases. These releases are installed throughout development and the benefits of the new development are immediately realized. Before any release is made available to the public, it must be tested.
Beta testing is performed in a separate environment and is verified against test cases.
Only after development is signed off by your organization is it released. Maintenance and Support OpenSage develops systems that are fully configurable by your organization. Most changes can be made in house without the need to contact OpenSage. However, sometimes it is necessary to fix minor problems or make small enhancements. OpenSage will be there to ensure your system is operating correctly.
