“Low quality code is not cheaper; it is vastly more expensive, even in the short term. Bad code slows everyone down from the minute that it is written. It creates a continuous and copious drag on further progress. It requires armies of coders to overcome that drag; and those armies must grow exponentially to maintain constant velocity against that drag.”
Enterprise-grade solutions require a short time-to-market, high cost efficiency and long-term maintainability.
Open Source has a long history of high profile success stories in building flexible, extensible and manageable IT solutions, on time and in budget. However, implementing Open Source can put a strain on an internal IT organisation, which may not always have the right skillset and knowledge to successfully make it happen.
Sourcesense is the ideal partner for projects considering adoption of Open Source technologies. These are just some of the services we provide for our enterprise clients:
- analyse functional and business requirements, considering the surrounding IT infrastructure
- design the proper architecture based on a careful mix of Open Source, proprietary and in-house technologies
- implement the solution using best-of-breed Agile methodologies whilst providing customers with proper oversight of the development process
- assist customers during testing, deployment and the overall software lifecycle, including updates and future improvements
- support the solution via SLA-based contracts or on-site application management
Our Enterprise Architects are highly skilled people, with a proven track record in delivering mission-critical applications for the Enterprise. Our unique approach guarantees that we use best-of-breed technologies in a way that helps build complex architectures with an eye on time to market, and return on investment. Our skills include:
- Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) with technologies such as Enterprise Service Bus and Web Services;
- J2EE architectures, with a strong focus on making J2EE lightweight yet effective, using the latest achievements in frameworks and libraries from the Open Source world;
- Enterprise Application Integration using XML technologies with arbitrarily complex needs in terms of information modelling and transformation;
- Enterprise Content Management solutions, with an eye on providing effective solutions based on the latest standards and on proven technologies.
Our Web team has met some of the most complex and interesting web-based challenges, ranging from multi-million page-views information sites to highly interactive Web 2.0 applications, with large e-commerce and portal sites in between. We have a strong focus on providing solutions that leverage our experience in exploiting the whole spectrum of HTTP-based technologies. The key areas of our expertise are:
- Web Content Management and publishing, a topic that has seen us progressing through a number of commercial and Open Source frameworks built around the latest and greatest in the Web Publishing arena. Just name a CMS framework, and there is a very good chance we have been exposed to it in the past years;
- Portal technologies, with a particular regard to the JSR168 standard and its various implementations. We have been building highly complex and interactive portals, just ask for our portfolio to see what we've been up to;
- E-commerce frameworks and solutions, which have seen us involved in building some of the most complex and interactive e-commerce sites using both proprietary and Open Source solutions. We will shortly be announcing an in-house e-commerce framework built upon our latest experiences and some of the most compelling technologies around;
- We are proud of being among the few who are making some bits and pieces of the Semantic Web happen for real: we have been exposed to and infected by RDF technologies and we are able to provide our customers with compelling solutions coming from the world of semi-structured information and semantic technologies;
- Oh, and last but not least let's not forget a few buzzwords: Web 2.0, Ajax, mashups, social apps, you name it. We know quite a bit about that stuff too, just ask us.
Open Source and Open Development are more than just code: countless years of shared development happening on a voluntary basis in a highly disconnected fashion have produced a set of methodologies, best practices and tools. These are precious to today's organizations, who are required to operate in collaborative yet disconnected ways, in scenarios where traditional tools and approaches fall short and are unable to deliver effective solutions. Our experience in dealing with communities and Open Development on a daily basis has allowed us to build processes and toolsets that can be used in traditional organizations as an alternative to traditional methodologies and tools.
Integration is not a word; it's a sum of facts. We deal in facts. Just ask us .
