Architecture Design and Development

We offer services in Enterprise Architecture, Systems Architecture, Application Architecture, and Data Architecture. Our overall belief is that a system which is properly designed, will feature flexibility to anticipated changing business requirements, allow for straighforward implementation, and reduce maintenance costs.

While some organizations cannot justify the investment for conducting a proper design phase, they can justify a second or third project to do it over. Our belief is that having the "right" architecture has a huge effect on the success of your solution. Knowledge of sound engineering principles and current technology is essential, but not sufficient to deliver flexible, performant and relevant solutions. The missing ingredient here is experience in solving business problems

When it comes to improving the business process, particularly today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, we are rapidly coming to the conclusion that implementing off-the-shelf software alone no longer does the job. To be responsive, to be able to make changes in the business process "overnight", a different approach must be embraced. As a consequence, many enterprises are replacing the traditional one-application-at-a-time approach with more flexible rules-based systems and end-to-end designs that take the entire process into account.  PSC helps organizations get better Command & Control of their technology investments.

The motivation for embracing architectural design and development comes from the need to improve productivity, reduce operating costs, and increase customer satisfaction through the innovative use of information technology. The ability to automate as many of the tasks in a process as possible allows businesses large and small to use their human resources for those tasks that add real value, need the greatest attention, or demand creative thinking.

Doing this requires standards, best practices and mastery of the latest tools that are used both up and down the organization as well as across a wide variety of industries.  Utilizing best practices and our depth of experience, we have delivered sound solutions that provide the flexibility our clients have needed within a delivery package that fits with their organization. We utilize an agile methodology to assure quick, consistent delivery of value to our clients.

PSC has the ability to do rapid development within your organization and externally with customers and suppliers.  Having an interoperable architecture is what makes this possible.

PSC can help you choose which of the following spheres of architecture design and development are best suited to provide the integrated process you need to prepare your business for the future;

• Java, J2EE and AJAX
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services
• EDI, XML and Web 2.0
• Microsoft .Net and SQL Server
• Open Source: LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Python, PHP, Perl)

Our consultants have helped businesses like yours solve specific business problems by defining the architectural environment(s) best suited to your business objectives and supplying the expertise to execute a solution using the tools and best practices associated with that environment.
