| Apps Associates is emerging
as a leader in the development of products that
integrate with Oracle Applications. We have
already deployed three products, ShipConsole, EMS and a custom Point-of-Sale
application which was deployed at over 100 retail locations in the USA and Canada. Each
of these products serves a distinct purpose and they are all seamlesslyl integrated with Oracle
Applications at the back-end. |
|
| The formula for our success has been
the following: |
|
| A multi-talented group of
individuals dedicated to product and custom application development. This
team comprises of professionals with experience in Oracle Applications and Oracle
database technology as well as experience in application development on the JAVA and .NET
platforms. Our product development team includes functional consultants responsible for
capturing business requirements, architects responsible for high-level design of database
schemas and functional architecture of the application, developers familiar with all
modern programming languages & platforms and a Quality Assurance team responsible for
testing the functionality of every application we create. |
|
| An efficient and well-tested product
development methodology that incorporates best-practices in the
software-development industry. This methodology includes rigorous documentation and
well-defined deliverables at all stages of the development process such as the following: |
|
 |
Requirements Phase: Creation of
Software Requirement Specification and Use Case Document
|
|
Design Phase: Creation of Architecture
Diagram, High Level Design Document, Detailed
Design Document, Sequence Diagrams, Class Diagrams, Physical Data Model,
Coding Standards Document for Java, .NET languages and PL/SQL,
Unit Test Cases Documents, Test scripts
|
|
Development Phase: Code
Documentation (e.g Javadoc), User Manuals, Code Review Reports, Unit Test Reports
|
|
Testing Phase: Reports of Unit
Tests, Regression Tests and Integration Tests. |
|
|
| A combination of onsite and offshore
product-development team members allowing for the development of high-quality
products at a reasonable cost. Our onsite consultants maintain a strong rapport with the
client to ensure we fully understand their business requirements and communicate all
aspects of the product development to them. This includes conducting Conference Room
Pilots and User Acceptance Testing. Our offshore developers stay in close contact with the
onsite consultants through a well-defined process of daily briefings and weekly conference
calls. Apps Associates has also established a robust infrastructure allowing for the
sharing of information between onsite and offshore team members such as web-based portals,
issue trackers and conferencing facilities. |
|
| Domain Expertise: Apps
Associates acquires detailed knowledge of the domain in which it develops custom
applications and products. This is true of the area of Shipping and Logistics catered to
by our ShipConsole product, Sarbanes and Oxley for the EMS product and Retail business for
the point-of-sale application. |
|
| Technology Expertise: Apps
Associates is committed to incorporating the latest technologies into all of its products
