Enterprise Application Development

Enterprise App Development

SCIGON has focused on Enterprise Application development since its founding in 2008 and have provided these services across the United States to Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, and mid-sized companies across a wide range of industries. Services in this area include enterprise-level application development, architecture, project management, and quality assurance. We cover every major technology stack and specialize in developing or enhancing scalable, extensible solutions tailored to customer needs.

Whether you’re looking at applications for the Web, Windows, mobile devices, or the enterprise, effective application development requires a multi-tier approach to maximize the benefits of reusability, scalability, and portability. With a focus on .NET, Java and PHP development for the enterprise, our consultants benefit from a full understanding of emergent technologies for Web and device-based applications. Paired with our experience in DevOps, Agile Project Management, and infrastructural considerations, these capabilities equip us with the right combination of experience and ability to see major development projects through to their successful completion.

Enterprise Web / SOA / eCommerce

EVOLVING E-COMMERCE AND WEB DEVELOPMENT
Examining the tasks that next-generation software needs to accomplish, we see the emergence of a new development paradigm that takes multi-tier application development beyond multi-tier architecture. Rather than a vertical configuration that puts a presentation layer on top of business logic and data tiers, new applications need to work across a range of platforms and devices to work the way their users do. Software solutions with multiple presence, web, desktop, and mobile that augment each other are key to meeting people’s needs.

Our strengths in a range of key technologies facilitate this aim:

  • Web Services/SOA:  Dynamic data, with universal access across multiple platforms
  • Rich Internet Applications:  Leverage new generation multimedia technologies
  • Responsive Web Development:  Applications that tear down the walls between Mac, PC, and mobile devices
  • Browser-agnostic Web:  Create a rich internet experience for every browser
  • Mobile Applications:  Applications that truly work outside of the box

Businesses that implement feature-rich applications running on a range of operating systems and devices will work more efficiently and reach a wider user base. By focusing on the fact that people, not technology are at the core of every successful endeavor, businesses that find compelling ways to satisfy people’s needs through solutions that target mobile platforms, the web, and the desktop, will thrive in any economic climate.

FULL-CYCLE MOBILE SERVICE SOLUTIONS FROM CONCEPTION TO DELIVERY!
Mobile is everywhere, and businesses need technology that meets business needs, regardless of where users are or how they access those applications. Screens are shrinking while their numbers multiply. Applications need to operate across a wider range of environments than ever before, and they need to travel with the user.

SCIGON has long embraced mobile technology. Our earlier work prototyping applications on a number of write-once-run-anywhere mobile tools caught the attention of Adobe Systems and resulted in a highly visible case study about our work published by Adobe. Our more recent work has focused on using native tool chains for iOS and Android applications, as well as the development of mobile web applications that optimize web sites for mobile devices and tablets.

What do we mean by Full Cycle? Today’s world has already gone mobile, and fully addressing business needs through this technology requires a specialized understanding of design, development and quality assurance for these devices. Our Mobile User Experience specialists can work with your team on creating a design and workflow that work well on tablets and mobile phones. Our mobile developers stay abreast of advances in mobile technology, and work hand-in-hand with our business analysts and clients to flesh out concepts in functional requirements that capitalize on existing and emergent capabilities available on target platforms. Development teams work closely with software testers with experience in cross-device functional and usability testing across a wide range of devices throughout the development process, during beta testing and during implementation.

Our mobile development solutions empower businesses to leverage the increasing capabilities of smart phones or tablets. Contact one of our mobile development specialists to learn more.

Mobile Apps

SCIGON’s work in native mobile application development spans projects for iOS and Android, on both tablet and mobile phone devices. As indicated above, Adobe Systems published a case study about our earlier prototyping work in this area. Our engineers’ more recent work has focused on working with native tool chains for development of data-centric mobile applications for a number of companies in manufacturing, consumer services, hospitality, medical and sports industries. SCIGON has also created a proprietary mobile application frameworks for rapid development of Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer applications.

Mobile Apps are distinguished from Mobile Website through a number of characteristics and are ideal for: 

  • Native Functionality or Processing Required: mobile websites are increasingly capable of accessing certain mobile-specific functions such as click-to-call. However, using a device’s camera, on-board navigation features, local storage, accelerometer, gesture-based input and processing power are best handled by a native mobile application.
  • Interactivity/Gaming: interactive games (think Angry Birds) are a great way to engage customers and get your brand in front of them. As with desktop apps, interactive business applications on mobile devices enrich the user experience while providing increased functionality. Mobile apps are the ideal choice for maximum interactivity.
  • Personalization & Local Data Storage: If target users need to personalize or store data locally, a mobile app provides a great platform for both.
  • Complex Calculations or Reporting: Data-centric applications that manipulate data through complex calculations, charts or reports often benefit from the increased processing power and drawing APIs of native applications.
  • Market-Based Distribution: If your users need to install an application and take it with them, mobile apps provide the means to accomplish this without tasking user with web site bookmarks or opening a mobile web browser to access functionality.
  • No connection Required: Mobile applications provide offline access to content and can perform operations without a network or wireless connection.

Our user experience experts and business analysts can help you decide whether a native mobile app is the right fit for your business needs.

Responsive / Mobile Websites

Developing a mobile version of a website ensures rich mobile user experience while enabling businesses to provide customers with a streamlined interface. Advantages to mobile websites include:

  • Immediacy: The latest version of a responsive/mobile website is available immediately, without requiring the user to install an application from a Market source or download updates.
  • Compatibility: mobile websites are compatible across devices. Using responsive technology, mobile website can adapt to fit a variety of screen resolutions across a wide range of browser platforms on both tablets and smart phones.
  • Easy to Share: sharing a mobile/responsive website with other users is as easy as sharing a link via SMS, email, or through native browser sharing applications.
  • Reach: responsive websites can be discovered by users through google and other search engines. More channels are available for promoting mobile websites, which can be shared between publishers and users.
  • LifeCycle: responsive/mobile websites can’t be deleted. Users looking to free up space on their devices can delete mobile apps, but mobile websites are always available to users when they want them.

A wide range of mobile devices are coming onto the market every day. These span different operating systems and screen sizes. This trend, combined with the proliferation of mobile website frameworks that bring these websites closer to the capabilities of native applications makes them appealing. Our user experience experts and business analysts can help you decide whether a mobile website fits appropriately with your business needs.
