Enterprise Software
Development

Enterprise application development shares many characteristics with other software engineering efforts. The applications must be correct, performant, and maintainable while also being flexible enough to allow features to be altered or added as business objectives evolve. There are, however, some key differences that make enterprise applications especially challenging to create. They often work together to govern most, if not all, of the enterprise's business processes. Frequently dozens of individual applications must coordinate their efforts to support the enterprise's objectives. Enterprise applications also tend to have a more diverse team of stakeholders than other software. They each bring different, and often incompatible, goals. Integrating new applications into a complex ecosystem while balancing each stakeholder's needs requires a unique blend of soft and hard skills.

Successfully developing enterprise applications requires a transparent process that allows software the steadily advance toward an (often shifting) set of objectives. Our process begins with the solution architects, where the broad scope of the application is discussed and many fixed-constraints, such as software languages and frameworks, are identified. As this discovery phase continues, the project management and engineering teams lend their voices and experience to ensure that we have a clear understanding of what is known about the project and what will have to be discovered as the project progresses. After the discovery phase is complete, the engineering team will iteratively develop the application. Our project managers oversee the development and ensure that the project's goals remain focused on your objectives as they become more evident. Throughout this phase, our team will stay in constant contact with you - keeping you apprised of our progress and refining the project's objectives. As the development phase comes to a close, we'll work with you through an intense quality assurance phase to build confidence that the new application will be robust, reliable, and valuable.

Enterprise development is what we do. Everything we do from the training of our team to our open-source contributions is intended to enhance our ability to quickly and efficiently develop applications that are ready for the rigors of operating in harmony as a part of an enterprise's software ecosystem. We stand ready to build new applications that will serve existing markets or open new markets for you to reach your customers wherever they are and however they want to interact with you. Our extensive experience enables us to build powerful internal applications, codifying complex business rules into applications that are verified by comprehensive automated test suites. If your organization is modernizing its software systems, then our engineering team's in-depth knowledge base will serve you well. Our engineers have worked in many of the most popular languages and frameworks in the industry, both past and present.

Like almost any product or service, today's enterprise applications are expected to work correctly and efficiently. Customers expect to have clear interfaces and seamless experiences. The challenge with enterprise development lies in the additional complexity involved in achieving these goals. As a single cog in a complex software machine, enterprise applications must seamlessly integrate with other applications. Ensuring that this communication happens securely while also decoupling the applications to allow each to be upgraded and modified independently requires singular focus and a high level of expertise.

Enterprise applications also have a more diverse group of stakeholders than many other applications. In addition to end-users and enterprise leadership, enterprise software must often consider the requirements introduced by business units, infrastructure teams, security, and government regulations. Without careful design and analysis, the complex and often contradictory demands of these teams can compromise the software's efficacy, leading to a sub-optimal user experience and eroding the value that the application adds to the organization.
