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
- Thick Client
- Thin Client
- Browser Based
- 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.
