- Custom Application Development
- Application Integration
- Application Integration – GIS
- Migration to Current Technologies
- Migration to Packaged Software
Custom Application Development
Many government organizations have unique business processes that are not easily handled with existing packaged software. We can help you develop entire software applications or add functionality to existing applications. We have expertise in a wide variety of development platforms, including .NET, Java, J2EE, and Oracle.
Application Integration
State and local governments have multiple departments which handle a wide range of responsibilities, and they need multiple software systems to manage their operations. Often, there is a critical need for software applications to pass data back and forth between each other. Integrating software applications can be a complex task, especially when the applications run on different technologies and databases. We can help you overcome these hurdles.
Application Integration - GIS
State and local governments typically maintain a Geographic Information System (GIS), but that system really becomes a powerful tool when it can tie into databases outside the GIS that contain information that is associated with a particular location or street address. State and local governments tend to have many software applications that contain such geographic information. We can help governments build interfaces that connect their database applications with their GIS.
Migration to Current Technologies
Many government organizations continue to run mission-critical software applications on old technology platforms. The result is that the IT department struggles to maintain older equipment running outdated operating systems and database platforms. The software itself may no longer be supported, making it difficult to make critical changes. We can help you migrate legacy applications to a current technology platform, such as .NET or Java, while retaining or improving the functionality and preserving all of your data. We keep the cost of migration down by reusing as much information from your current system as possible.
Migrating Applications to Packaged Software
Government entities that have been using custom applications may eventually decide to install packaged software. When implementing the new software system, there is no need to start from scratch. The old applications contain valuable information that can speed up the deployment of the new software. We can help you extract relevant data from your legacy applications, clean it up, and prepare it for import into the new system.
