Customer Types

 Both governmental and enterprise

Requirements For Software Process

     Numerous custom software projects Short deadlines High quality and easy-to-use software has to be delivered Fast response time for change requests needed Heterogeneous infrastructure

Ways To Improve Process

   

Software application framework

Software tools for heterogeneous environment Formalized development and support process Automated task-management

Our Application Framework (IAF)

 Purpose  Decrease the development time    Unify the development and maintenance process Simplify the information system maintenance Unify the user interface

IAF – Features

          Object-oriented approach to building database-centric applications Metadata-based automatic code generation Fine-grained access control Data export/import Database auditing Workflow capabilities Report builder Ad-hoc query builder Form designer Customizable user workspace

IAF - Advantages

       Provides built-in core application functionality Rapid development of application GUI without rewriting any code Fast report development Easy to learn and use Accessible through the Web Supports multiple database vendors Extensible

Ways To Improve Process

    Software application framework

Software tools for heterogeneous environment

Formalized development and support process Automated task-management

DFusion - Data Integration Tool

 Purpose  Data retrieval in heterogeneous environment    Guaranteed data delivery to the consumer Data transformation and loading according to system requirements Logging of all operations

DFusion - Advantages

    Extensible interface for plugging in adapters for various data sources and transport layers Based on industry standard technologies Includes graphical tools for data flow and transformation modeling Utilizes the XML power and flexibility
