Thorough software development management, Apollo Group is able to offer the guarantee that the software development projects will be delivered in good time, within budget, and with little or no defects, and above all, will meet the requirements of the end user. The consultants on the software development management team have the experience and knowledge to find the correct solution that will prevent a project from failure and in many cases, the software development management team has been called in to implement changes which will turnaround a software development project. In fact, our software development management team is comprised of project turnaround specialists, and when a project is on the brink of failure, the team will take over the project on a temporary basis, handle the decision making, and implement the necessary changes. As a leading software development management team, our consultants are able to assess the situation, and during assessing, they will be able to identify problem areas and implement adequate measures which will achieve project success.

When effective software development management is not in place, this will have long lasting effects and will result in a loss of revenue, a tarnished reputation in the industry for the supply of inferior or poor quality products or services, and at the same time, ineffective software development management will result in high costs. In a bid to avoid these problem areas, the Apollo Group team's experience in software development management will allow them to recognize the problems and put the correct measures in place to avoid a project failure. If the software development project is running behind schedule or is late, is over budget and is hampered with many technical as well as management problems, there is a definite need to rethink the software development management team and bring in a professional, such as the Apollo Group. During their time as project and software development managers, Apollo Group has aided a number of industries, such as manufacturing, food services, banking and insurance, and within application areas, such as mortgage origination, loan servicing, financial services, retail brokerage, securities trading and Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP.

Within the area of retail banking, the software development management team helped with a software system which had been in the developmental phase for twenty-four months. The rollout of the system was put on hold because it was found that the system had more than 800 system defects in the pilot phases, as well as a slow response time and regular crashes. If the project was abandoned it would meet a write-off of over $75 million. The software development management team of Apollo Group were called onboard, and by implementing several actions, such as a complete overhaul of the software development process and working on the outstanding software defects and developing more than 100 software modifications, the software development management team was able to finish the project and save $15 million in projected costs.
