Software and Enterprise Architecture

The software architecture professionals at Grand Oak Technologies are trained in today's enterprise architectures.  With experience in delivering enterprise software solutions to small and mid sized corporations, we understand the challenges of creating agile software architectures in complex and ever-changing business environments.

Today's business finds great value in creating a more agile enterprise software architecture along with better alignment with it's business processes.  These goals are accomplished primarily with the guidance of an enterprise architect and only secondarily by leveraging particular technologies.  These techniques are implemented to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace or to create a more valuable business.  Today's trends in business are to incorporate Service Oriented Architecture and Business Process Management.  For many businesses, it's the first successful venture of bringing business and IT together.

  Simply speaking, Service Oriented Architecture is how we create a more agile business by creating loosely coupled services (autonomous and often remote pieces of software that will provide data or logic).  With the guidance of an experienced software architect, you can create an enterprise inventory of services that will accomodate your changing business. Common technologies to enable this architecture are web services and an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).

Business Process Management, or BPM, is the alignment of software to the business processes of a company.  For example, if you have a proposals and contracting process, it would be our goal to analyze that process, chart the process, identify potential improvements, and create software fully aligned with that process.  By doing so, we will create intuitive, wizard style screen flow and productive user experiences. BPM will typically also provide Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) simply by utilizing BPM technology packages which provide these metrics out of the box.
