Application Development

The applications that run on top of your database are the most visible component of your IT and business strategy. While off-the-shelf applications are adequate for some routine tasks, custom applications are often required to give your business fundamental capabilities or a competitive edge. We thrive on quickly translating complex business requirements into working applications. Our team works with you to understand the business process that we’re modeling. Then, we manage each step of the development lifecycle—from specification to implementation, training, maintenance, and support.

Examples of the issues we can help you manage:

• How can you make your business operation more efficient? For example, how do you track time and billing for a network of offices that spans multiple regions? How do you bill time back to your corporate partners?
• How can you jumpstart the development of your project prior to building an in-house development team?
• How do you integrate many different types of equipment into a unified system? For instance, what’s the most effective means of collecting information from scientific instruments and getting it into the database for further cataloging and analysis?
• What are the main factors in designing a high throughput network application? As an example, how can you guarantee and document delivery of ten million individual e-mail messages per day?
• How do you design and implement an application that can be validated under FDA regulations?

By developing custom applications that deliver valuable information to the right people at the right time, we can help streamline your business processes, get you to market faster, and provide a competitive edge.
