NTIS

Along with the shift in how the Internet is being used by companies and customers to interact with each other, the way Internet applications are conceived, designed, delivered and managed has also changed. Fast release cycles, agility, and tight-fitting solutions are requirements that are not only important, but are critical.

Our methodology for open source software implementation is a set of values, principles and practices that shorten the project lifecycle, minimize risk, ensure predictable results and deliver high quality software.

NTIS’ approach to the applications combines the power of three concepts:

• The culture of on-line communities, commonly referred to as Web 2.0
• Rich interfaces made possible by AJAX (and related technologies) that enable cost-effective, highly usable desktop-like applications on a broad scale
• Modular, flexible architectures enabled by service oriented architectures

Within each layer of the business solutions, NTIS offers a third alternative to the “build versus buy” decision – applications that are assembled using open source software components. Itself originating from a community-contributed culture, open source software provides enterprises with increased control and flexibility, shared development costs and support options and components that have been tested and proven.

We are highly experienced with taking open source projects from assessment through to deployment and support. However, if you would prefer, as a first and very important step, we can begin by assessing your requirements to determine and recommend which open source software is best suited to meet your needs.

Project Stages:

• Assessment
• Prototyping
• Implementation
• Testing
• Deployment

We have taken process to a new level by incorporating new technology capabilities that allow us to collaborate with client-side project teams remotely. Although, we can provide onsite resources when necessary, our collaboration process continues to disprove the traditional service delivery model that requires onsite resources. Therefore, our process in and of itself, reduces total project spend, providing measurable customer value.
