Advanced Technology Group

Taking Steps to Deliver More

The Advanced Technology Group accomplishes some of the most challenging, technically ambitious work required by our clients. Comprised of a team of highly skilled practitioners, the Advanced Technology Group helps our clients to develop systems using leading edge technologies. Technologies including SaaS, SOA, Web 2.0+, Virtualization, and Cloud Computing help clients realize the cost savings and efficiencies that modern computing technology affords.

Members of the Advanced Technology Group are chosen for their highly developed technical expertise and their ability to understand and respond to each client's particular set of problems. We are constantly exploring both the capabilities of new technologies and how to get maximum utility from existing technologies.

Our unique skill set provides us the opportunity to transfer knowledge to client personnel as part of each engagement. Our job is complete only when our client becomes fully trained and is able to operate in a self-sufficient mode.

The Advanced Technology Group specializes in:

Systems Architecture - As the demand for global connectedness increases so does the complexity of information systems. Our insatiable appetite for robust systems puts unprecedented demands on Systems Architects to blueprint 'clean' architectures that scale well and age gracefully in the face of unforeseeable changes. Inarguably, this is not an easy task. We have deep experience with blueprinting architectures geared to support the technological demands of globalization. This is why our clients look to us to help deliver elegant systems architectures that endure.

Mobility Development - We build mobile applications that make a difference. We leverage industry best-practices to deliver applications that embody best-in-class usability and heuristics.

Data Warehouse Deployment - The key to a successful data warehouse is in the alignment of its design to the informational needs of the business. We focus on the business users, determine what data is needed, locate sources of the data, and organize it in a fashion that is aligned with the business' needs. We work with our clients to extract, transform, and load the data into the data warehouse, create the OLAP and data mining capabilities, deploy and tune the system as users gain experience and provide feedback.

Enterprise Application Integration - This is the centerpiece of any business process consolidation initiative. EAI is the 'glue' that minimizes point-to-point connections. It links applications by sharing data and business rules in order to simplify and automate business processes. We begin by assessing our client's application and infrastructure topology. We then employ the appropriate centralized broker middleware architecture along with the appropriate mix of Mediation or Federation patterns to provide a robust, highly evolvable EAI architecture.

Portals & Enterprise Content Management - Portals have become a core component to doing business in today's global economy. We have the experience and expertise to develop and deploy enterprise portal solutions that flex to meet evolving content, application, and process demands. We understand how to best manage structured and unstructured content within the framework of an enterprise portal, including how to ensure the preservation and reusability of an organization's documents, content, records, and business processes.

Custom Solutions - A mainstay of any enterprise IT strategy, we understand the importance the 'custom component' plays in making IT work for business. Our Custom Solutions maximize business value by providing a platform for market differentiation, cost reduction, and UI wrapped data/process integration. Some of our major offerings include: Rich Internet Applications, Software-as-a-Service and Cloud Computing.

Packaged Applications - The foundational ingredients of people, process and technology must be considered for any packaged application implementation to succeed. Whether the need be for a new implementation or an upgrade, we have the methodology and the highly skilled professionals needed to help our clients implement and support leading packaged solutions, including SAP, Oracle and Microsoft.
