System Architecture

In order to build a consistent and user-friendly system, a well planned system architecture is absolutely essential. A clear architecture not only saves development time and costs, but also provides the client with a clear top-down view of the product early in the development cycle. The system architecture includes the system specifications, database models, design blueprints, and development plans. These elements each serve an important purpose in the course of development to keep the implementation on track and running smoothly.

Programming Services

We are firm believers that almost every language has its place as a useful and productive tool. With over 24 combined years of programming experience under our belts we are generally able to meet the language requirements of our clients, or alternately we can often suggest the language and platform that would be best suited to a particular project. We have developed systems using many languages including C++, ColdFusion, PHP, Perl, and others. Our established Object Oriented design processes provide a framework for development in any language, which allows our programming proficiency to be greatly diversified.

Database Development and Integration

The database is often at the heart of an online system, and therefore great care must be taken in its design to ensure proper and stable operation throughout the life of the system. While it is generally known that databases are an effecient method of storing and retrieving information, it is somewhat lesser known that databases can be built to provide dynamic and scalable operational capabilities as well. By moving some aspects of the operational characteristics of a system into a database it is possible to achieve a much higher level of system self maintenance and built-in expandability. Interactive online tools complete the picture and allow the client a window into the system that is intuitive yet very powerful.

Design Services

In order to provide a look-and-feel with which the client is satisfied, they must be involved from the beginning in the design process. Many times, the design of a system is finalized before the client sees how it will truly look, which can lead to dissatisfaction on the part of the client and necessary overhauls of the design during the development phase. To circumvent this, we provide a set of design blueprints or 'mock-ups' that allow the client to see exactly how the system will look upon completion. Changes to the design can be made very efficiently at this stage, which saves time and provides the client with a true sense of what the final product will be. Our design services are provided by Delwin Holeman of AAA Studios. We have been very pleased with both the professional quality and diversity of designs that are presented, and we feel that our clients will appreciate this as well.
