APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT 1, 2, 3
OUR APPROACH
Studies tell troubling stories about application development
projects - most are regularly delivered late or over budget, if they're
delivered at all. Delivering a new system on time and on budget may be
rare in the industry at large, but not at Carisbrook Technology Services.
For us it's the only acceptable outcome. How do we accomplish it?
A disciplined approach in the hands of skilled staff is the straightforward
answer. Utilizing best practices we bring to bear our capabilities, our
engagement model and our methodology. As a plus we emphasize a hands-on
"learning by doing" approach to skills transfer during the project.
And no effort is complete until our client is "operational" -
we assist our clients in deploying and running the solution.
OUR APPROACH: Capabilities
Carisbrook's consultants bring a wide range of skills
to the table in the following areas: Domain knowledge - Our experienced
consultants have delivered technology solutions in your industry. Since
they know the language of your business they will converse readily with
your team and will bring fresh insight to the engagement. Determining
business return - Systems that get funded and widely adopted offer a clear
return on investment. We can help define core requirements, assess costs,
and review alternative technical approaches as you build a value proposition
for your project. Business analysis and process modeling - Early clarity
about requirements is key to tight scope management. Our people-intensive
process and facilitation skills get people talking so the core business
requirements are out on the table right up front. Our approach requires
old-fashioned, hands-on analysis - of process flows, business rules, and
stakeholder expectations - documented with UML use cases and a functionality
matrix. Architects work side by side with our business analysts to ensure
that a sound technical foundation is laid down early in the game.
J2EE - The J2EE platform is fast becoming the
dominant standard for enterprise class solutions. The Carisbrook staff has
years of experience building J2EE based applications with a particular emphasis
on layered, application server based architectures to deliver scalable,
reliable, and flexible results.
Enterprise Architecture - Good application architecture
ensures the performance, scalability, and extensibility needed by today's
systems. Carisbrook's developers have the experience with distributed
component technologies such as J2EE, Corba, and Microsoft's .Net to craft
designs that balance the often-competing needs of increased performance
and reliability. Project Management - A big part of our excellent track
record for on-time and on-budget delivery can be attributed to our dedication
to the myriad details of project management -- resource management, issue
resolution, communication, risk mitigation, scope management - and our
relentless pursuit of perfection. There are no surprises in a Carisbrook
led project. Creative - Carisbrook understands that the user interface
is critical to successful solution adoption. To deliver a compelling user
experience Carisbrook assembles a team with extensive experience and skills
in human factors engineering, information architecture and creative design.
Deployment - In addition to software development
competencies, Carisbrook's technical skills encompass leading edge thinking
around performance management and service level management. In short, we
focus on helping clients address the many issues associated with moving
from a reactive to a proactive approach to deploying and managing critical
business applications. |
