Legacy Systems Legacy systems are the unsung heroes that keep enterprises running and working properly. For the past 15 years, We have supported legacy systems and have ensured that they consistently meet business objectives.

The need to leverage these key systems with advanced e-Business applications becomes more critical every day. You may have a combination of IBM mainframes, AS/400s, Hewlett Packard HP-3000s, DEC VAXs or various PICK configurations. Regardless, we possess the experience to manage or support your legacy system projects.

Client - Server Systems We are experienced in using client/server technology and take full advantage of n-tier architecture by constructing systems in layers including the front-end, back-end and middle tiers.

To construct the front-end, I use advanced tools - including Microsoft’s Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual FoxPro, Access and Sybase’s Power builder -- to design modular code that allows the client/server system to run more efficiently. We construct the back-end through the use of relational, object-oriented, hierarchical, and network databases. Our back-end experts are also responsible for manipulating data by using languages as the structured query language (SQL) and writing stored procedures, triggers and queries that insert, delete, update and retrieve information from the database.

Where possible, we use computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools to assist in code generation, thus increasing their productivity. When developing the middle tier or tiers, we follow methodologies utilizing the object-oriented paradigm. The objects are designed to support polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation. They are designed to the highest level of abstraction in an effort to gain the most flexibility.

We are experienced in a wide variety of frameworks including the Component Object Model (COM), an extension of COM known as COM+, Distributed COM (DCOM), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). You can depend on our expertise and professionalism to implement a client/server system that is powerful enough to meet your business requirements of today, and scalable and flexible enough to meet your business requirements of tomorrow.

Database Solutions We provide a host of database services spanning many technologies and platforms

Data Modelling is the first critical step to the successful creation of any database. We will interview your functional area experts, analyze your business rules and create an Entity-Relationship Diagram that documents your data. As part of this process, the data is normalized to ensure its consistency and to prevent duplication.

Database Administrators (DBAs) know the nuts and bolts of every database they manage. We have experience with server-based databases (Informix, Oracle’s SQL, MYSQL and Microsoft’s SQL Server), desktop databases (Microsoft Access and FoxPro) and mainframes (IBM’s DB2 and Computer Associates’ IDMS). We work to tune your database to ensure optimum performance, train others on database management and help you plan for the unpredictable by recommending and implementing data archival, backup, and recovery strategies. We also establish procedures and policies concerning the security, management and maintenance of your organization’s database management system.

We can help turn your snail of an application into a greyhound and make incoming data more reliable. By optimizing inline SQL statements, creating new indexes, stored procedures and triggers, we will improve the performance of your applications.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, or implementing a new database system, we will help you choose a database system compatible with your business needs by utilizing data benchmarks. We also have the experience to leverage your existing legacy systems by using the latest in data conversion procedures.

In addition to designing and maintaining databases, we can help you build a data warehouse that will allow you to mine your data and discover new trends that can be used as input to key business decisions.

Technical Documentation Developing clear, helpful and comprehensible manuals, user guides and training materials for your employees and customers is crucial to the success of IT projects that demand end-user involvement. We can provide your business with technical writing services ranging from the traditional to the newest generation of technical information formats.

We can develop hardcopy manuals, user manuals, user procedures, reference manuals, and training materials. Additionally, we develop online, Web-based documents using HTML, PDF and a wide variety of desktop publishing tools. Trust us to develop useful and critical documents designed to increase user involvement and capability.

Training Expensive IT solutions cannot exist in a vacuum. Their value quickly deteriorates unless their capabilities are efficiently and effectively utilized. Your employees, customers, and support staff require comprehensive training, delivered in a cost-effective and timely manner.

We are prepared to assist you in this most important endeavour in several key areas including:

::	Identifying the training needed to minimize disruption and delay when a new solution is deployed.
::	Identifying training required to enhance on-going staff member usage of IT solutions, and to allow them to effectively support and maintain these solutions.
::	Preparing training materials.
::	Delivering "just-in-time" training.

Middleware Development As your business grows, you acquire additional hardware and software to support your expansion efforts. As a result, you have an assortment of disparate legacy and state-of-the-art systems. How do you seamlessly integrate all of this mission-critical information?

Middleware development is the answer. We understand the concept of "gluing" all of your systems together using Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) tools; messaging tools such as IBM’s MQ-Series and Microsoft’s Message Queue; and cross-platform languages such as Extensible Markup Language (XML).

We also experienced in object-oriented analysis, design and programming used in creating middleware objects. Whether you’re in the market to integrate off-the-shelf systems or home grown applications, We can handle the project with unparalleled service.

Quality Assurance Testing As technologies evolve and become more complex, and as time-to-market pressures increase, fundamental IT practices such as Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing become more important. Many studies confirm that products with the lowest defect counts also have the shortest schedules, and that defect detection results in dramatic savings.

We can assist your organization in developing and executing a quality assurance plan that begins with requirements definition and ends with acceptance testing, implementation, and post-implementation support.

Our strategies include:

::	Frequent reviews, both formal and informal, of every deliverable
::	Frequent communications with client staff members to ensure that the system reflects their input and involvement
::	Requirements traceability throughout the development lifecycle by mapping design processes and testing to identify requirements
::	Quality Advisors who support the development team and assure that products meet high standards.

In addition to testing functional requirements, we also perform stress testing, volume testing and performance testing. The result is a solution that is designed to meet your needs and tested to prove it.

Expert collaboration, web 2.0 and unified communication solutions for your needs.
