Ideation, requirements management and system analysis all require deep understanding of data, business processes and technical and functional aspects of a project in order to be successful. Assurety’s team is trained in Design Thinking and has a mastery of the design and iterative processes necessary to develop solutions to complex business problems.
Assurety applies our twenty-plus years of experience solving data-intense business challenges to every ideation project. We develop unique, actionable ideas to approach problems or create something new. We are open-minded and naturally curious, which leads to innovation and exploration of multiple perspectives before we land on the solution that best fits our client’s needs.
Before a new system can be defined, we analyze the needs of the organization and take into consideration the scope and constraints of the software or system we intend to design. We gather information from stakeholders and come to understand their expectations, workflows and perspectives and use that knowledge as a framework for defining the system’s functional and non-functional requirements. We aim for a clear understanding of the system’s capabilities, how it should behave and the constraints it must adhere to — and plan for future growth and expansion.
For existing systems that need upgrades or replacement, we follow a systematic approach to studying, designing and defining the system’s structure, components and behavior. We look at the way humans interact with the software and how the elements of the system contribute to its overall functionality. From this, we create a roadmap that serves as the foundation for developing changes or replacement of the entire system, with a mind toward reducing any interruptions to ongoing business operations.
Our extensive R&D and prototyping regimens yield requirements that exceed goals and simplify and consolidate business processes, leading to a leaner operation and a healthier bottom line.

Problem Statement: MBS (Mortgage Banking System), the oldest financial institution that supports the US mortgage industry, suffered with a legacy banking system that included more than 83 software versions, which made software management and security a costly nightmare.
