OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS & APPLICATIONS

We are accutely aware that it's the Applications that power a business, they give some businesses an edge over their competition or worse prevent others from flourishing. Today markets evolve and change faster than ever, what was once leading in one industry quickly gets superceeded by a new shift in an industry, whether this is through consolidation, replacement of legacy technologies, or new functionality.

The internet, Web and cloud technologies are driving many of these shifts as every industry fights to become more competitive and retain profits and customers.  However, applications are really only the presentation of business logic and functionality to users, and important as that is, they are only part of the story. Every business is a unique blend and combination of many applications, which when looked at as a whole define the functionality and capability of the business.

Every application requires IT infrastructure to complete the picture. Today more than ever it is increasingly difficult to separate applications from each other, and applications from their infrastructure. IT infrastructure is therefore a critical and integral part the success of applications and therefore any business. 

 

 

We work both clients directly and alongside application, system vendors & integrators to provide a unique expertise in the development of IT infrastructures that enable these business applications. We do not approach this from a specific technology perspective, instead bring a capability to help scope, define plans and strategies through to the design, testing and implementation of these systems. We complement the skills of business analysts, whether in house or external, and complete the picture required to create the right supporting infrastructure. The choices made at the IT infrastructure level affect applications, and therefore business in many ways, including:

Over the past 15 years we have applied our skills in developing IT Infrastructure to support both mission critical "operational" systems; such as Airport Operational Systems, as well as 'back office' applications present in most organisations, such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
