Robust Solutions Business Value Driven Architecture Based Deployment Focused Experienced Staffs Solutions Focus Key Differentiators Ink2Web applies these capabilities and characteristics as it architects, builds and deploys enterprise systems for Global 2000 companies and government agencies. << return to Systems Integration Robust Solutions Ink2Web specializes in architecting, developing and deploying large and complex business-critical solutions that require high degrees of integration across diverse portfolios of applications and technologies. Clients that seek to reduce operating costs, increase profitability and improve organizational flexibility rely on the systems we build to run their businesses without failure. Our solutions typically involve ultra-high transaction rates (up to millions per hour) in online transaction processing environments and very large databases (terabytes of information). We believe that we are able to address our clients' greatest information technology challenges because we are able to extend the accepted performance and feasibility limits of leading-edge technologies. For many clients, the systems we build are at the core of their efforts to capitalize on information technology and the Internet. return to top ^ Business Value Driven Ink2Web focuses on delivering demonstrable business value for our clients, not simply on technology. We align technology deployment with business objectives and processes and plan deployments in phases to deliver business benefits rapidly. Through extensive business analysis and work with clients to define and articulate their business goals and constraints, we are able to discern a project's critical business requirements before proceeding to technology considerations. return to top ^ Architecture Based Ink2Web's architecture-based approach enables us to provide large and complex integrated solutions that accommodate our clients' goals in a rapidly changing business environment. Complex interfaces to, and coexistence with, legacy systems, software packages and departmental solutions in a heterogeneous technology environment; transaction and data integration, both within a company's business and among the company and its trading partners and the ability to dynamically change features, services or product offerings based on real-time Internet customer interaction. Our overall architecture identifies the component and technology frameworks required for the successful construction and deployment of our solutions. Through rigorous systems analysis, we design solutions that address requirements for: Reliability, to ensure accurate processing and robust recovery. Scalability, to support rapid growth and changing business conditions. Full time availability (24 hours a day and 7 days a week), performance, to deliver the required end-user response times and transaction rates. Flexibility, to accommodate new functions and interfaces. return to top ^ Deployment Focused Ink2Web delivers high-value business solutions that are deployment focused, rather than development focused. Our deployment focus allows us to architect and design solutions for successful roll out to, and use by, the hundreds, thousands and potentially millions of users of that system. We focus on deployment to ensure that our solution is constructed for scalable performance, reliable and consistent service levels, and high levels of flexibility and longevity. We architect and design systems so that they adequately address the constraints of interfaces or the challenges of operating the system in the intended environment. Consequently, clients often engage us to "recover and salvage" systems that were unsuccessfully developed or deployed. We believe our focus on deployment allows us to deliver successful projects and business value for our clients and constitutes a significant competitive advantage. return to top ^ Experienced Staffs We staff projects based on our philosophy that there is no substitute for experience, in contrast to the common approach of relying on primarily inexperienced staff and building a heavily "leveraged" staffing model. Our depth of skills began with our early work in benchmarking large applications and databases that required multi-tier software architectures, in which the key layers of an application system are separated and optimized independently to improve performance, scalability and reliability. Our breadth of skills comes from extensive experience with four generations of technology — mainframe and parallel processing environments, minicomputers, client/server architectures and web technology architectures. Our employees have expertise in a broad range of competencies, including project management, business analysis, object modeling, architecture, software development, database modeling and administration, quality assurance, integration and testing, architecture and performance tuning, and system and network management. return to top ^ Solutions Focus Our staff is recognized for its rich capabilities in building solutions that deal with high transaction volumes and very large database requirements. During nearly a decade of our history, we have successfully delivered large-scale OLTP and VLDB decision support systems in several industry categories, including financial services, telecommunications, energy, public sector, and military. In order to better leverage and differentiate our business process expertise, these solution areas allow Ink2Web to leverage its deep technology skills and experience to create repeatable, high-value offerings with a consistent level of quality. return to top ^ Key Differentiators Exceptional qualifications in hardware, software and communications Vendor-neutrality - while we have strong relationships with market leaders in hardware, software and communications, we work with you to implement the technologies that are most suitable for your needs Proven experience in commercial and government markets Adaptable approach geared to the needs of each specific client Worldwide reputation for unsurpassed project management and on-time performance Proprietary Optimus ARC™ methodology enabling us to serve you anywhere in the world with a common, flexible framework and best practices
