As business and operations seek increased functionality for a lower cost and in shorter time frames, the pressure on technology delivery is ever increasing. Fortunately, a set of next-generation technologies, focused around RIA and Web 2.0-technologies and cloud computing, provide new alternatives to reach the market quickly and at a reduced cost. Our delivery teams utilize an iterative development methodology that leverages our multi-disciplinary skill-sets to develop cutting edge RIA and Web 2.0 solutions. We have experience in a wide range of Web 2.0 and RIA technologies covering both commercial and open source technologies. In determining the right technology approach, factors such as the following are considered:
  • What new and emerging technologies will enable leapfrogging my competition?
  • What changes or updates are required to my existing architecture to enable use of the emerging technologies?
  • What are the unique security challenges and how to address them?
  • How do I ensure that the application is scalable yet flexible?
  • What are the dependencies?
  • What will be the solution cost and how quickly can I get it to market?
  • How do I maintain cohesiveness across a distributed team?
  • How can I manage and reduce my execution risk?
From the many projects we have executed, we have standardized on a set of technologies for their maturity, robustness, and functionality as well as our positive experiences using them. OpenCrowd has created partnerships where they strengthen our ability to deliver systems for clients. Most organizations have closed source products they currently use and will continue to use. Based on our extensive closed source product experience we can choose open source products that are compatible and aligned with our clients' strategic technology choices to meet tight budget requirements. OpenCrowd believes that most enterprises will be hybrid (closed source and open source) environments for a long time, adopting open source in an evolutionary fashion.
