Our SA8 engagement methodology is a proven process that governs and directs all diverse skills and expertise needed for a successful website. From the initial engagement definition, to solution delivery. SA8 consists of eight distinct, clearly delineated stages that provide our clients with clear expectations of both the engagement process and the solutions to be provided.
