System Architecture: |
Enterprise solutions are best defined as a “system of systems”. In order to adequately implement enterprise solutions, it is crucial to understand the relationships between the subsystem components that comprise an enterprise solution. A well-executed systems architecture, models the relationship between the subsystem components – which is crucial in successfully integrating enterprise solutions into customer environments. zCore is experienced in determining the best architectural approach to meet customer requirements. Our staff will document issues the system architecture will solve, and provide a method for customer input while the system architecture is defined. From a perspective of solution delivery, if the system architecture is well defined, then integration design, development and implementation will be successful. |
|
Technology Preparation: |
Our approach to technology exploration is focused on solving problems in distinct iterations: discovery, synthesis, design / development, validation, implementation, and operations / maintenance. Within this phased approach we analyze customer requirements to determine needed improvements and how technology can be leveraged through a combination of techniques such as attribute driven design and performing an architectural tradeoff analysis. The result is an iterative, customer focused system engineering approach for solution implementation. |
|
Database Management: |
zCore applies the proper database management system (DBMS) to match our customer needs. A DBMS can differ greatly based on data organization and informational need. zCore provides our customers with information from the DBMS presented in a variety of formats. We provide a DBMS report writer program that enables the customer to output data in the form of a report. |
|
Enterprise Reporting and Data Mining: |
zCore experts implement data mining software as an analytical tool for our customers to analyze data. It allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified. The data mining process finds correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases. Enterprise reporting is designed and implemented to support many types of users with ad hoc query, reporting, and online analytical processing capabilities. |
|
Application Development and Maintenance: |
zCore application developers design, build and implement applications using IBM, Domino and Microsoft SharePoint technologies. Following implementation of new or updated applications, our staff provide, training in the new application to the user community. |
