Robust Architecture

We have built systems that are reliable, scalable, and secure.

Reliability

To ensure that the systems we build are reliable, we use industry standard building blocks like Oracle, Java, and .NET as foundational components: Proven technologies with the support of large user communities. To enable us to build reliable systems on these foundations, we have developed a multi-gated process that ensures that validate each step as we work with you from initial engagement through deployment and operations. To support these efforts and maximize our efficiency, we have automated verification and configuration management processes.

Scalability

The key to maximizing scalability is minimizing resource usage, both by using the least possible resources for every action and interaction, and by using those resources for the shortest possible time. We have performed extensive resource testing of both our Java code and our database systems, and have engaged other industry leading experts to collaborate with our staff in identifying and validating best practices for coding and managing operational systems.

Often the way in which a system interacts with other components in the software and hardware ecosystem has a significant impact on scalability. Although our practice is to design and build software systems to meet critical performance requirements, our experience has led us to develop a systems engineering practice that performs ongoing analysis of the these system interactions, enabling us to recommend complementary components to our clients.

Security

We have a deep understanding of the types of security risks that threaten systems today; it is an area where our technologists have conducted extensive analysis and produced detailed documentation. Our development efforts proceed with awareness of potential security threats, and our systems management efforts build on this expertise.
