SystemsReady has been delivering custom software solutions since 2006. Our overarching goal is to design, build and deliver quality products that are easy to use and understand, while addressing a wide array of technology needs. This involves more than just writing code and pushing buttons. More accurately, it translates into clearly defining requirements, achieving milestones, building quality deliverables, and ultimately creating customer satisfaction.
Software engineering at SystemsReady doesn't focus on a particular technology stack or vendor. Rather, these choices are driven by the need at hand, and our pragmatic approach to development doesn't follow a "one-size-fits-all" methodology. With skills that span a variety of development and database technologies, the decision on which tools to use is only made after a solid understanding of requirements has been attained.
Think, then build. At SystemsReady, that's the way it's done. Whether your project is greenfield development or modernization of a long-standing legacy application, our engineering team can design, build and deliver your solution.
Translating the complexity of information technology choices into a tangible product is a challenge for many companies, big and small. At SystemsReady, we strive to help our clients better understand the systems we build by breaking down core functionality into "manageable chunks". We present options in terms that are easy to follow and understand, without an overload of "techno-jargon".
Whether your project involves new software or modernization of an existing application, SystemsReady consulting can help you develop a thorough understanding of the options available. We can also provide expert advice on development technologies in general, so you can feel more confident in your decision-making. With a constantly expanding array of technology choices, having an experienced advocate can help you make wise decisions and mitigate risk.
There are times when it becomes necessary to better understand the inner workings of a system and the components that comprise it. This need can be driven by technical personnel or perhaps decision-makers within an organization. It is common to find applications for which the product owners have little or no practical knowledge of how these systems function internally or how they are architected. This can be particularly true with older systems with lifetimes spanning decades. The need for a more detailed understanding of these systems is usually prompted by some unforeseen failure or pending deadline to replace the system with newer technology.
Put simply, investigative analysis is an exercise with an established goal of developing a thorough understanding how things work, particularly with respect to the internals of technology and application software. As mentioned previously, this can be prompted by any number of reasons, including:
- System failure of a mission-critical application
- Modernization of a legacy application
- Need for increased understanding by developers or support personnel
- Establishment of a new product owner
- Understanding behavior of applications for which the source code has been lost
- General curiosity
For the most part, investigative analysis does not involve development or coding. It is an extensive mental undertaking which usually involves research from a business, technical, and sometimes historic perspective. Some legacy products may have extensive histories which take time to understand and explain. In many cases, original product owners or developers have moved on or are otherwise unavailable to aid in analysis. On occasion, we will build new custom tools to assist in gleaning the information required. If it becomes necessary to recover source code, attempts can be made to reverse-engineer existing binaries with prior approval of the product owners.
