Ordina selected to supply agile development teams for CAK
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, 14 May 2013
The CAK, the Health Ministry's executive organisation in the healthcare sector,
has selected Ordina as supplier of agile development teams, following a European
tender. The framework contract is for two years with an option for an extension
of two times one year. The CAK wishes to increase quality, continuity,
flexibility and capacity in the field of agile development. The framework
agreement gives Ordina the opportunity to combine its know-how of the public and
healthcare sectors with its agile experience.
"The public sector market and the healthcare market constantly have to respond
to changing regulations and legislation," says Barend de Zoete, Director of
Professional Services & Projects at Ordina. "This often requires substantial
changes to the IT systems that are used. Deploying agile development will give
the CAK the ability to adapt software quickly to any and all changes. Our
specialists are pleased to be given this opportunity to use their know-how and
expertise to optimise agile development at the CAK."
Agile development
Agile development is an extremely flexible approach to software development.
Agile software development teams work on small 'sub-projects' in short
manageable periods (iterations), rather than working on a large-scale, complex
development process spanning many months.
In Agile development projects, the development team members collaborate closely
and prefer to communicate directly with each other and frequently with the other
stakeholders in the project. The team aims to deliver something usable at the
end of virtually every iteration. And at the end of each iteration, the
developers also reassess the project priorities. This working method makes it is
possible to adjust and adapt software quickly and easily, even during the
development process itself. This in turn enables organisations to respond
rapidly to legislative changes, the wishes of end-users or other external
factors.
