ISC software development teams can be deployed on site for fixed
time periods.
Application Lifecycle Management & Continuous Integration
Application development is a complex task that, if not performed
predictably, can have many challenges. Lack of systematic processes
creates inefficiencies in development, timelines, and costs.
Inconsistent approaches to project lifecycle phases and roles
negatively affect design, quality, and code management. Here are
some questions you might consider asking yourself:
- Do you know the current state of your applications in
development?
- Does your application work on a developer’s machine, but not
in your test or production environment?
- Are your builds automated?
- Does your testing team lose time due to bad builds that
can’t be tested or used?
- Do you spend a lot of time and energy debugging your
applications after a build?
- Are your applications easily deployed after being built?
- Are deployments automated?
These challenges impact the corporate bottom line by increasing
expenses: Poor design and quality, ineffective code and project
management, and software delays can all cripple business
responsiveness. An effective application build management system can
help you overcome these challenges, which are associated with
application development.
ISC brings experience with Microsoft's
Team Foundation Server and VSoft Technologies'
FinalBuilder as well as
other tools, utilities and experiences to meet these challenges.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing encompasses an entire world of systems,
approaches, services, customers, assets, information, and issues.
ISC began its forays into cloud computing as a
Software as a Service provider to state government agencies in
2003.
Today, cloud computing continues to gather momentum.
Microsoft now offers
BPOS (Business Productivity Office Suite). ISC is a
Microsoft Online Services Channel Partner and licenses customers for
use of this online Microsoft Office suite, accessible via the
Internet, which includes hosted Exchange-based email services, and
is purchasable on a per user basis starting at $15 per month.
Microsoft also offers the
Windows®
Azure™ Platform for enterprise or custom solution deployments in
the cloud. The Windows® Azure™ Platform (Azure) is an
internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data
centers, which provides an operating system and a set of developer
services that can be used individually or together. Azure’s flexible
and interoperable platform can be used to build new applications to
run from the cloud or enhance existing applications with cloud-based
capabilities. Its open architecture gives developers the choice to
build web applications, applications running on connected devices,
PCs, servers, or hybrid solutions offering the best of online and
on-premises.
The
Cloud Hosting & Service Providers Forum on LinkedIn is a great
place to learn more.
Use Case Driven Software Development
Use case driven software development, today, is a unifying
approach to managing the software development process across the
entire industry. ISC software development professionals are
required to be proficient in the development of analysis and design
models using UML (Unified Modeling Language), and to understand the
principals of use case driven software development that include an
integrated approach to requirements analysis, software design, test
planning and deployment. Use cases unify these aspects of the
process.
.NET Platform Software Development
Custom application development is the fundamental expertise, the
core knowledge and essential practices from which all other ISC
services were derived. Working closely with the customer we start
with a business process opportunity and build an appropriate
solution from the ground up. ISC's Project Teams work primarily from
our offices in a stable, well supported software development
environment. Our infrastructure is always prepared to support the
development of enterprise software systems and integration. Our
Project Managers work with customers on a day to day basis to ensure
visibility. In developing custom applications, ISC employs the
industry’s leading tools including:
- Microsoft® .NET Framework™
- Microsoft® SharePoint Technologies™
- Microsoft® Silverlight™ and WPF (Windows Presentation
Framework)
- Microsoft® SQL Server™
