Development Planning & Solution Design Services | Altra

Plan & Design

The strategy, roadmap and architecture to make your project successful.

Altra’s planning and solution design services make sure your next AEM, Adobe Experience Cloud or custom project starts off on the right foot and stays on the right track. We build based on best practices from our decades of collective experience delivering dozens of projects for mid-market and enterprise clients. That means your project stays on deadline and costs are contained from day one.

The Right Way to Start

Altra’s detail-oriented and client-focused experts work with you to succeed from the start, with the right strategy, plans, discovery work and solution architecture.

Strategy

Our experts assess your existing capabilities, identify your gaps and create a roadmap to take your project from vision to reality. We review and evaluate your current website, assets and infrastructure, then advise on how best to complete your project, on time and on budget.

Project Planning

We create accurate budgets, timelines, work scopes and high-level project requirements, then document everything so work gets done correctly and efficiently. We also build risk mitigation plans to make sure your project goes smoothly, and communication plans to keep you in the loop throughout the entire engagement.
