Dynasty Professional Services has a goal to provide customers with the very best expertise in all areas of the development lifecycle for applications being developed using Dynasty’s component based development environment. To meet this goal, an organization of Information Technology professionals has been assembled with specific expertise in a broad range of technology areas.
Our Consultants are available to customers for assignments ranging from those that are of short duration and specifically tasked, to longer-term assignments of a more general mentoring or programming nature. A combination of skills and resources can be used to augment the customer’s project development staff by resolving resource shortfalls, and providing specific skills that may not normally be available to the development team.
Dynasty Professional Services can provide consultants in the following categories:
Subject Matter Experts:
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are highly skilled IT professionals that have expertise in specific technology areas that are important to the successful completion of a component-based development project. Dynasty Professional Services offers SME services in the following areas:
|
|
Object Oriented Analysis and Design using the Dynasty Component based development environment - Using the very latest in Object Oriented design techniques, and tools such as the Rational Unified Process for requirements analysis, Use Case determination, and object modeling. The OOAD SME is able to assist the customer with overall application design, including the identification of reusable components and object hierarchies. All this is within the context of the Dynasty Development Environment and associated frameworks. |
|
|
Project Management using Object Oriented Iterative Development Methodologies - Dynasty’s Project Managers can work with the customer to develop project implementation methodologies based around the latest techniques developed for OO and component based development. |
|
|
Scaleable Architectures - Developing applications that can be easily scaled to cope with increased transaction loads requires planning and development discipline. Dynasty’s Specialists in this field can work with the customer’s architecture group and development managers to ensure that the application is designed for scalability, and that development guidelines and standards are in place to ensure that developers work together towards building a scalable application. |
|
|
Partitioning, Distribution and Deployment of applications - Applications developed using Dynasty are unique in that they can be partitioned in many different ways, and deployed over many different hardware and software topologies. Partitioning an application takes a specific skill that includes the disciplines of application design and performance tuning, as well as a thorough understanding of the behavior of the Dynasty environment. Dynasty SMEs can work with the customer to not only ensure that the application is partitioned to best advantage, but also provide a transfer of knowledge so that a customer may build these skills into their own application development team. |
|
|
Functional Requirements Analysis - Dynasty project staff can provide additional resources to a customer at the time of project inauguration to assist with the important task of gathering and defining the functional requirements. |
|
|
Transactional Information Systems - Where a customer is building an application that is transactional in nature, using environments such as CICS, Tuxedo or CORBA, specific skills are required to obtain an understanding of the technical requirements of transactional systems. Dynasty SMEs can provide expertise in this area. Dynasty has a great depth of experience in this area, and can provide valued assistance to the customer in building highly scalable, transactional systems. |
|
|
e-Commerce solutions - Dynasty Professional Services has been involved in the development of e-Commerce solutions under the umbrella of Dynasty’s Transaction Factory initiative. As a result, we have developed expertise in the area of implementation of large e-Commerce systems, include technologies such as transactional architectures, inference engines using artificial intelligence technologies, goal-managed transactions, and very large operational data stores. This is a level of e-Commerce that goes well beyond the "shopping cart." Customers who have a requirement to utilize the latest in Internet technologies to implement large scale applications can benefit from this expertise. |
Product Consultants:
Dynasty Professional Services has trained product consultants that are available to customers for assistance in development projects. Product Consultants may be utilized on an as-required basis, or more typically on short to medium term assignments at the customer's site. Product consultants are able to develop applications using the Dynasty Development Environment, although typically, they are utilized as a resource to provide information and assistance to programming staff.
On-Site and Offshore Development:
Dynasty Professional Services can provide the customer with application development staff skilled in the Dynasty Development Environment. Application developers are typically used by a customer to overcome shortfalls in development resources. Assignments are typically medium to long term.
Dynasty also has extensive offshore software development capabilities. Where an application component can be designed and specified at the customer site, but development can be undertaken off-site, the Dynasty offshore developers become an economically viable alternative to on- site development.
Training and Knowledge-Transfer Programs:
The Dynasty training department has developed a number of courses geared to train customer staff in different aspects of the Dynasty Development Environment. Training classes are held either at the Dynasty training facilities or on a customer site if the course numbers warrant.
