MODERN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

MODERN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Modern application development is the rapid creation, maintenance, and management of applications that runs across complex hybrid cloud environments without modification. This approach allows organizations to benefit from innovative technologies such as containers and microservices as well as game-changing practices including Agile, DevOps, and Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD).

We help you develop modern enterprise applications that are well-architected, business-focused, resilient to change, and easily maintainable. We do this by leveraging proven application architecture, design, and development methodologies, and we have decades of experience successfully delivering such applications to our enterprise clients.

We have expertise in developing both monolithic applications and cloud-native applications. Typically, our clients develop cloud-native microservices applications for client-facing mission-critical applications that have high scalability requirements, and monolithic applications for internal and departmental applications with lower-scalability requirements.

Our expertise and experience span the following areas

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

Well-layered architecture using domain-driven design principles for monolithic applications
Distributed architecture through microservices and containers for cloud-native applications
Process-driven applications through popular open source technologies such as jBPM and Activiti
Client-device agnostic responsive user interfaces using modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks
Application functionality exposed through a ReST-based API
Database-agnostic back-end through ORM
Superior application performance through ORM and Database tuning
Application-level authentication through JWT/OAuth2 and authorization through proven and flexible user/role/permission security models

Agile Development

Agile development using processes such as SCRUM, Kanban, and XP

Application Deployment & Monitoring

CI/CD pipeline development using popular open source CI/CD servers
Deployment both on-premises and in the cloud
Application scaling
Application logs and metrics monitoring

Application Testing

Software testing strategy, test plan, and test case development and execution
Functional, load, and regression testing
Developing custom automated test frameworks leveraging Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid for test automation

Our Service Offerings

We reduce your risk in engaging with us by implementing our Four Step Engagement Model.

We will hold an initial meeting, either by conference call or in-person visit to your office, to assess the needs of your business and explain our capabilities.

After assessing your specific needs, we will provide a detailed proposal to either build a new application or modernize existing applications.

If the proposal is accepted, we can engage in a short-term, paid proof-of-concept period to allow us to demonstrate our capabilities by building a small Minimal Viable Product (MVP) of your enterprise application.

Based on the results of the MVP, you decide whether to continue working with us to complete development of the application.

OUTSOURCED APPLICATION MAINTENANCE

We can help if your business has recently released a new application or has an existing portfolio of applications that you want to outsource for support and maintenance. Usually, the cost of delivering the first version of a production application is at maximum 30% of the overall of the application over its lifecycle.

We take on your maintenance backlog using our Application Maintenance Services, which allows your team to focus more on important objectives for the business.
