In today’s business world, there is no more critical attribute than adaptability. For what is true today — what the consensus is at this very moment — will surely be different tomorrow.

At Sapient, we don’t believe in waiting for change to find us. We’re continually challenging industry norms to deliver better value for our clients. Our industry-leading approach helps teams discover the big ideas that can make a real impact, and then quickly transforms those ideas into tangible results.

Key Principles behind Sapient | Approach

Sapient | Approach combines leading business and development methodologies into a single, powerful management tool for application development based on four key principles:
1

Agile Development

Based on industry best practices, Sapient | Approach uses agile development methods which ensures that working solutions are delivered faster to uncompromising quality standards. Rather than traditional methods, which require heavy up-front investment in time and effort, agile methodology uses actual development to evaluate and improve the design as the project progresses.
3

Globally Distributed Delivery

We assemble small, globally distributed teams, varying participants based on the immediate needs of the project. These teams collaborate closely with our clients in a rapid, iteration fashion to ensure that solutions continue to meet the changing needs of the business.
2

Process Standardization and Continuous Improvement Models

Sapient | Approach allows for flexibility in selecting the process standardization and continuous improvement models that work best for each client. Our teams regularly incorporate Six Sigma, Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI), ISO and ITIL processes to ensure that appropriate rigor, discipline, and accountability are built into each project.
4

Lean Production

Drawing upon best practices from the manufacturing industry, our teams look for new ways of optimizing the value stream to remove waste, improve quality, and reduce time to market. Creative application of lean principles enables our teams to find innovative ways of eliminating speculation, responding to change, and automating repeatable processes to deliver fully-functional products in otherwise unimaginably compressed timeframes.
