System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the overall process of developing information systems through a multi step process from investigation of initial requirements through analysis, design, implementation and maintenance.
Phase I - Project Planning, Feasibility Study

	Establishes a high level view of the intended project and its goals.

		Mode – Onsite and Offshore
		Deliverable - Project Scope

Phase II –Requirements Study

	Study of client business processes Redefines project functions and operation of the intended functions. Analyses end user needs. Creates a common understanding of the project.

		Mode: Onsite and offshore
		Deliverable: FSD - Functional Specification Document

Phase III – Systems Analysis

	Identification of high-level architecture Assist client team in visualization of the end solution Establishes common goals for the client team, ICTEAS project leaders and development team

		Mode – Mostly offshore with regular client involvement
		Deliverable – Analysis Specification Document

Phase IV – System Design

	Conversion of high-level design desired features and operations in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code and other documentation.

		Mode – Offshore
		Deliverable – Systems Design Document, prototype

Phase V – System Development

	Conversion of design into code

		Mode – Offshore
		Deliverable – System setup for testing by ICTEAS and client team

Phase VI – Integration and Testing

	Controlled system testing by the ICTEAS and client team.

		Mode – Offshore with client involvement
		Deliverable – Feedback and recommendations

Phase VII – Acceptance Testing

	System testing at client location/s in simulated business environments Pilot run – system testing in practical business environment at client location/s.

		Mode – Onsite with ICTEAS assistance
		Deliverable – Feedback and recommendations (client)

Phase VIII – Final Deployment

	System deployment at client sites either collectively or in a phased manner.

		Mode – Onsite with ICTEAS assistance
		Deliverable – Fully operational system
