We are application developers and systems integrators. CompuWork provides the services to develop and deploy solutions including:

• Traditional desktop applications
• Client-server apps
• Browser-based Internet/Intranet apps
• Web services

Or we’ll integrate several of these components.

Our team explores the issues and objectives and documents the givens and the constraints. Then we work with the client to:
• Conceive a master plan
• Select the most appropriate technologies and platforms
• Clarify the particulars of what must be done and how best to do it
We have worked with many diverse clients and have seen many situations and scenarios. Our extensive experience enables us to anticipate unforeseeable pitfalls and to better predict what will work and what will not.

Given a general system design, the CompuWork team then works through the myriad details necessary to transform a concept into a solution. Our experts determine:
• How best to apply the selected technologies
• Exactly what components will be needed
• How the components will be implemented
• Where and how the components will be deployed
• How they will be configured, interfaced, controlled and monitored
We have considerable expertise in assembling components to devise efficient systems.

Information derives from data. Formally describing an organization’s data (specifying the types, permissible values, inter-relationships, etc.) is essential to ensure that the underlying database can accommodate all expected data without the loss of any meaningful information. It also ensures that the information can be retrieved efficiently.

The CompuWork team is well versed in relational theory and is highly skilled in data analysis and data modeling. Using object-role modeling (ORM) methods, our team can produce diagrams and fact reports that laypersons and end-users can understand.

Using an iterative approach, our team works with the client’s team to refine and confirm the data model. This ensures that the requisite data structures are complete, correct and appropriate.

This stage involves building the components. The ability to program an efficient user interface or to code an event-triggered procedure that enforces business process rules are examples of the talents our team members typically employ in the process of developing an overall solution. Our techies love a challenge and always rise to meet it.

We take security seriously. Enabling authorized users to access information as necessary while ensuring that unauthorized users cannot is a requirement of almost every system. Our team members bring the experience of many years to this critical issue.

We can:

• Install and configure communications protocols
• Set up virtual private networks
• Manage user/group accounts
• Apply security constraints to application objects as required

We know how to ensure that the means for authorized access is maximized while the risk of unauthorized access is minimized.

Today very few applications exist in isolation. Most are integrated with other systems. To enable that integration and to maintain order, procedures must be defined and interfaces must be implemented. Clients often prefer to automate such processes so as to render them seamless in the eyes of end-users.

Our professionals are seasoned choreographers. We understand very well the issues involved and are familiar with the options and alternatives for dealing with these issues.

Getting it out, up and running, training users and establishing usage policies are critical parts of every project. We work closely with our clients’ teams to carefully plan these steps, to manage user expectations and to ensure that every rollout goes as smoothly as possible. A smooth deployment and positive user experiences are our greatest satisfactions.

Draw Entry

This can present daunting challenges, but we have a successful track record of extending the useful life of many an application through determined effort and ingenuity.
