Packaged Software Solutions
Most business users have fairly similar needs. For example, the document
management problems faced by a banking and investment firm will be very similar
to those experienced by a telecommunications provider.
In the case of document management solutions, there exist a number of
packaged solutions that would meet the needs of many users.
With a little customization these packaged solutions would meet the needs
of all target end users.
Northern ATI has direct experience with providing packaged software solutions
to meet the needs of end users.
Through direct engagement of the target end users our analysts will
generate a detailed description of the functional and non-functional requirements
of a system to meet a specific need or solve a specific problem.
A fit-gap analysis of the requirements [with existing packaged solutions] will
result in the selection of a product and will identify any customizations
that are required to provide a perfect fit with the end user's needs.
Some examples of the types of packaged solutions we can provide would include:
- document management systems
- document capture and/or imaging
- records management
- collaboration tools
- web portals
Custom Enterprise Software Solutions
Some business users have very domain specific needs that cannot be met by
any out of the box software.
A custom software solution is the only answer in such a situation.
The Northern ATI team has participated in the design and implementation of
a distributed enterprise knowledge management system and a number of collaboration
tools and web portals. We can leverage this experience and expertise to provide custom solutions that
are easy to use, easy to maintain/extend and easy to manage.
In short, we strive to provide custom solutions that will meet the needs of
end users and system maintenance personnel for the entire life cycle of the
product not just the initial deployment.
Our development team embrace new methodologies and development techniques to
bring the highest quality software to the client.
By embracing re-usable patterns and by document systems design using UML
artifacts we are able to bring to market very robust software with very
high usability.
The liberal use of the UML to describe systems designs ensures that adequate
design artifacts are present for future modification and/or customization
initiatives.
Our team members have experience with all phases of enterprise system
design and implementation from user requirements modeling through to
deployment and administration.
Examples of some of the custom solutions we have provided would include:
- a web based enterprise document management system with distributed
data distribution nodes
- self service web portals
- systems state of health monitoring systems with support personnel notification
(paging) functionality
- web based conference and collaboration tools
- web based project tracking and estimation tools
- web based bulletin board and subscription based notification systems
- custom inventory and material control systems
Systems testing
All enterprise solutions be they packaged software integrations or custom
systems require rigorous testing and verification to ensure proper fit and
function.
Our designers are well versed in testing methodologies and processes.
We utilize a systematic approach to ensure that all solutions function as they should.
Some of the systems testing services we routinely perform would include:
- test case creation
- creation of detailed test plans and strategies
- systems testing
- system performance and stress testing
- user compatibility testing
