About Us

Marbles helps businesses engineer and implement software and software development processes for better, faster, less expensive results. As a leader in the delivery of mission-critical, enterprise software solutions, our expertise is second to none. Our advanced development methodologies emphasize business results first. By taking an incremental, get-something-started approach and using continual testing and revision, we are able to improve quality, streamline development and reduce costs. The benefits to you include:

• Functional, working software in 2 week timeframes
• Continuous communications loop
• Rapid adoption of change
• Greater control of your project and budget
• Flexible development process (changing requirements are no problem)

Our Approach
Under our development approach, architects, coders, and project managers all have common goals and responsibilities. Instead of traditional segregation of roles by functional area, you have a bullpen area where continual communications abound. The objective is to take small steps and review often. Initially, we make a mini functional module or skeletal/structural prototype and then iterate on it. As development continues, we add features to the core platform. As the design is tested, small changes and redesigns occur. That way, there are no big surprises or large blocks of code that have to be rewritten after months of work. Embracing real-time change is the key. Users change their minds. Requirements change. Miscommunication occurs. Thatıs life. With our approach, change is good. It represents progress. In fact, customers and end users can see this progress on a weekly basis. And every 2 to 3 weeks you have new functional software thus creating constant feedback. So communication remains strong and expectations are always in alignment.

Our Values
Marbles operates its business on the practical application of Christian values for the mutual benefit of co-workers and their families, customers, shareholders, suppliers and the community. We are committed to providing an environment where there is harmony between our work, our moral/ethical values and our family responsibilities and where everyone is treated justly.
