Processes
CDSM carries out a comprehensive consultation before development begins so that we can learn about our client’s business and markets.
This consultation defines the solution to fit both the internal workings of our client’s organisation and the markets in which they are positioned. This enables us to create solutions that are easily manageable by our clients, and marketing designs that are tailored to the aspirations of the target audience.
Once the solution has been defined in detail, our in-house team produces the solution with regular feedback and review with the customer. To ensure that the system is delivered to quality, budget and timescale CDSM employs the Prince2 project Management Methodology. Where the Prince2 methodology is excessive for the size of the project, CDSM employ our own pared down ISO accredited production process based on the Prince2 methodology.
Customer Quotes
Welsh Development Agency
“Well done on developing some great website content for the SA1 and Aberporth projects - they both look superb!”
“The microsite is really, really good!!. I’m delighted & you should be too. Its distinctive, relevant to the target audience and looks appealing/easy to read - and is still part of the WDA family. It is right down the centre of the brief. If it’s alright with you I'd like to use your content as an example to others as to how good it can be.”

"The show reel movie you have sent is great. I have had so many requests for copies I will be burning them for the rest of the day! Marketing and PR are having a look this afternoon. The workshops we are doing over the next couple of weeks are including people from LSC's, BSA, and Commercial Clients HSBC etc so this is going out to a wider audience than we thought. The only problem I will have is convincing them that they will have to wait for it!! Wonderful."

After a great team effort from CDSM and Teksolve I must congratulate them on a job well done! The link from TIC to LI and back again is seamless and captures all the information necessary to direct people to actions, enable analysis of the data, as well as knowing where the data has come from.
