Technology
At 1969, we view technology as a means to enhance your business. Rather than starting with the technology, we begin with your business objectives and strategy.
Internal Tool & Die
We pride ourselves on our extensive technical experience. Our engineering team has been developing distributed and mission-critical systems years before the Web existed.Pre-dot-com era experience in distributed systems and mission-critical software includes:
- A real-time pollution monitoring system in use at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
- A document imaging and indexing system in use by numerous municipalities, states, and law firms.
- A telemetry processing system used by the Inertial Upper Stage booster (rocket).
- A chemical formula imaging and recognition system.
This experience has shaped our programming approach. We use proven methodologies, established engineering processes, and industry-standard tools. We use tools and methodologies where they are appropriate. Just as we would never build a system without a good requirements document, we also don't believe in over-analyzing a project. Some of our tools and approaches include:
- Unified Modeling Language (UML)
- Use-case analysis.
- Object-Oriented Analysis & Design
- Revision Control (CVS)
Empowering Technologies
We
build empowering systems that give you control over content and freedom
from maintenance headaches. We are big believers in giving you the
tools to maintain and update
your own site. Depending on your requirements, we can provide you with
tools to do anything from headline updates on a single page to full
workflow-based publishing systems. Our systems will integrate with your
other assets and eliminate redundant data entry. We can integrate your
web site with just about any back-end or legacy
system. As long as the system has a network-accessible service
interface and a well-defined protocol, we can connect your site with it.
All too often, systems are engineered for a particular set of requirements without considering potential future needs. And while no one magical approach will "future-proof" a project, we believe in developing foundations with the future in mind. We architect for the future by observing the basic tenets of distributed computing:
- Scalability
- Extensibility
- Availability
- Performance
Your Business Tool
To
make your business tool successful, we provide a solid technical
solution at a reasonable price that will grow with your business.
Whenever possible, we focus on open, standard solutions. If your budget
or time limitations prevent a full implementation at first, we lay a
sound foundation and roll out functionality in subsequent phases. We
save you money on Research and Development, because we've built a large
number of systems before. Chances are, we've already solved problems
that will help us with your system.
