How OCS Works
One Cow Standing (OCS) believes that custom software can solve problems, make life easier, and provide a positive benefit to society.
To do this, OCS designs and delivers mHealth interventions end-to-end, including system architecture, code, deployment, scale, performance, and quality, from conception to delivery.
Knowing that one size solutions rarely work, OCS’s software methodology encompasses a hybrid of best practices from the field. These include waterfall methodology to ensure clear requirements and objectives, lean thinking, along with agile and scrum methodologies to improve efficiency and innovation by testing, fixing, and enhancing elements early on in the process, and rapid application development for time sensitivity.
