Service Development

After all design specifications have been completed, the actual programming of the service can begin. Because the service architecture will already have been well-defined as a result of the previous stages and the involvement of custom design standards, service developers will generally have clear direction as to how to build the various parts of the service architecture.

For organizations employing the PaaS cloud delivery model, the service development platform itself may be offered by a ready-made environment hosted by virtual servers and geared toward the development and maintenance of cloud-based services and solutions.
