Global sourcing is a strategic decision. Its benefits, risks and opportunities must be weighed against the costs and challenges of continued internal delivery. + Technical Services > + Way of Working at Annex > + Core Engineering Enhanced Services >

Both the technical and economical challenges of software application development are steadily increasing. The market has also put a major emphasis on the scalability, security and robustness of new applications. Java/J2EE meets many of these challenges by reducing software complexity and providing a stable enterprise platform for distributed computing. Further advantages of utilizing J2EE include:

Highly available. Meets the needs of today’s global business environment
Scalable. Ensures that business transactions are promptly processed
Maintainable. Makes maintenance easy by breaking business logic into reusable components
Secure. Protects the privacy of users and the integrity of the enterprise
Reliable. Ensures that business transactions are accurately processed

Solutions for Java

Annex employs the latest methodology, tools and design strategies to achieve an optimized solution. We use extensions to J2EE (WLI, web services, etc.), standard design practices, the latest patterns, Rational Unified Processes (RUP) and enterprise software product development methodologies to arrive at a scalable, portable, robust solution that meets our clients requirements.

A key factor in Annex’s J2EE capabilities is WLI. WLI provides a RAD environment that enables our engineers to quickly develop and reuse a large part of our clients’ business functionality. Some significant time-saving features of WLI include:

Visual Process Modeling
Business Process Templates
Visual Tool for Data Transformation
Pure J2EE and Interoperability with Microsoft (SQL Server, IIS, COM+)
BEA and Third Party Adapters
Adapter Development Kit
Message Broker (for rule-based message routing)
XML Beans
Conversational Web Services
XQuery Transforms
Integration Controls (for databases, files, web service, etc.)
Application Integration Framework (for connecting to enterprise systems)

.NET Technology

.NET-based software helps companies reduce IT costs and explore new business opportunities. While the Microsoft .NET framework encompasses the language and execution platform, the extensive class libraries provide rich built-in functionality. Benefits of utilizing .NET include:

Language Independence: Applications written in different programming languages can integrate with one another, reducing the need to learn or retrain on different programming languages.

Reliability: The .NET Framework includes technologies that make applications more reliable. For example, the .NET framework ensures that memory leaks do not occur by properly managing memory, threads and processes.

Manageability: The .NET Framework simplifies deploying, running and managing applications.

Security: The .NET Framework includes an evidence-based security system that is especially relevant for today’s Internet environment.

Usability: .NET enables developers to easily integrate multiple programming languages.

Data Access: ADO. NET, a significant rework of the ADO model, is designed for today’s Web-based style of data access using XML. It is also prepared for “disconnected” use with a high-speed local cache.

Hardware: The .NET Framework is designed to support not only the hardware of traditional Windows operating systems, but to also support other smart devices such as mobile phones, enhanced televisions, and retail devices through its associated .NET Compact Framework.
