Our Software Development Approach

The InfoPro Team uses the Evolutionary Rapid Development (ERD) method which is based on the concept of composing software systems using small development teams frequently interacting with stakeholders and delivering work in short iterations (cycles) consisting of planning, design, development, configuration, integration, testing (functional and security), and demonstration phases. 

InfoPro provides the following services:

• Data Collection – InfoPro Systems provides tools and solutions for fully electronic data collection or electronic data collection integrated with paper-based data collection. We can customize data collection procedures for complex health studies, clinical trials, questionnaires and examinations integrated with biomedical equipment. We support multiple platforms: Web and Windows, iPad/iPhone and Android devices.
