| Leading industry experts report that the primary forces driving the exploding
demand for application development are skill shortages and constantly decreasing life
cycles of new technology. With the major personnel commitment required to maintain
existing systems, many companies are faced with limited resources for implementing new
value-producing initiatives. The experts also specify that managing successful
implementations in this environment is dependent on effective methodologies and knowledge
management processes. In the last two years, there
has been a significant shift in the application development playing field, and the rate of
change in this area continues to accelerate. Object-oriented and component development
techniques have moved from theoretical ideals to mainstream architecture, development, and
support tools.
CoreTech Approach
CoreTech’s application solutions team employs a highly successful Solutions Development Framework (SDF). SDF uses an
iterative and parallel model to compress calendar time during the software development
process. Using the latest technology and unique project schedule compression techniques,
CoreTech quickly synthesizes client ideas into working prototypes for evaluation by
business users and technical groups.
SDF can be applied selectively to all or part of the
project life cycle, including the initiation of a project proposal, through the planning,
construction, and deployment of a product. The life cycle is depicted graphically in the
SDF process model diagram below. SDF is flexible and customizable to each client project,
regardless of size or scope. CoreTech solutions result in reduced risk, driving greater
business value into the organization faster.
CoreTech has the highest levels of industry-recognized
certification and expertise in leading-edge technologies. We maintain privileged-level
alliances with top vendors in the industry, such as Microsoft, IBM, and others, including
involvement with vendor product groups that are developing next-generation platforms.
CoreTech leverages this expertise in advanced platform technologies by rapidly
implementing a wide variety of customer service, e-commerce, sales productivity, project
tracking, and other solutions for a diverse cross-section of industries.
We apply skills and competencies in Microsoft Windows NT,
UNIX, object-oriented and component technologies to our client’s benefit. CoreTech is
an expert in object technologies utilizing the Component Object Model (COM) and Common
Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), enabling software component reusability and
the highest levels of on-going development efficiency. |
