- ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT Productive Edge has vast experience implementing the core back-end systems that power large companies. These types of applications fall within a wide range of categories, but some particular areas in which we excel:
- Data Integration and ETL When systems need to interface with legacy software, external applications, 3rd party organizations, or other disparate systems, our experts will implement the integration layer to enable the communication. Regardless of the data formats (e.g. XML, CSV, HIPAA/EDI, HL7), the transmission/security protocols (e.g. FTP, SFTP, REST, SOAP, PGP), or the complex business logic and processing required (e.g. claims processing, bill runs, HIPAA transactions), we have the expertise to provide secure and scalable integration. Likewise, we have experience with ETL (Extract—Transform—Load) packages to enable the clean and maintainable processing of inbound data, and to simplify the introduction of new integration points and data formats.
- Business Intelligence Reporting and analytics are critical tools of any successful organization. Whether they be real-time sales figures, time and accounting statistics, website traffic and user behavior, loss prevention figures, or any other number of key metrics and performance indicators, having a toolset that provides relevant data when you need it is like having a barometer of how well your business is functioning. At Productive Edge, we have experience building powerful custom reporting frameworks, as well as implementing open source business intelligence packages that can provide real-time reports, dashboards, data mining and OLAP capabilities.
- Enterprise Service Oriented Architectures Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become a buzz term that is often abused and unfortunately sometimes used as a marketing ploy. However, in larger organizations that have many different systems and business units that are independent but have overlapping functional needs, the underlying concepts of loose coupling and interoperability can enable the reuse of core components and allow business processes to overlay multiple systems. At Productive Edge, we have deep experience implementing service-based systems that can enable disparate applications to communicate securely and leverage each other's functionality. While the RESTful web service style is our preference in most cases, we also have deep experience with SOAP web services. Additionally, we have experience implementing Enterprise Service Bus solutions to provide a centralized hub that can streamline the integration of numerous systems.
- Operational Efficiencies Whether it's a web application that improves communication between your corporate office and associates in the field, or a repetitive manual process that is automated to save you costly man-hours, we have experience analyzing business inefficiencies and determing how to leverage technology to eliminate unnecessary overhead and prevent you from wasting time and money.
