Technology
It isn’t enough to develop software using the latest or greatest technology. Technology needs to work hand in hand to meet the objectives that the software has targeted. Rather than drive to a commitment to a single operating system, database or communications methodology, Park City Group’s design and technology experts adhere to a technology strategy that leverages the key technology requirements while supporting the existing technical environments.
Keys to our technology strategy are:
– Commitment to an “Open” environment
• Using standards based technology – no proprietary designs
• Using Object Oriented (OO) language and component architecture
– Use of Tools to Allow for Simplified Tailoring
• Designed for use by a Business Analyst in a company not a programmer
• Open architecture so that software engineers can expand and leverage other applications
– Maximize Flexibility to support all types of Communications
• Multiple deployment strategies
o Thick Client
o Thin Client
o Browser Based
o Supporting Combinations of Deployment
• Tiered Architecture to support varying deployments
The highlights of this type of strategy can be summarized as follows:
– It creates an underlying architecture that supports consistent, reusable, repeatable development techniques.
– It is ” architected ” in and adheres to open standards to ensure flexibility, compatibility and interoperability.
– It facilitates the building of applications using a component architecture and object oriented design and development strategy.
– It adapts to changing business requirements and emerging technologies with the use of Visual Business Objects, Rules, Configurable User Interfaces, portal and browser support.
– It allows for maintaining support of low bandwidth communication as well as high-speed environments and most importantly the combination environments in today’s multi-location operations.
