Architecture Review

Autonomic Resources can work with your team at both the enterprise architecture level and on the smaller scale changes. We can come in prior to a new implementation to evaluate the design, as well as test the solution architecture at any point along the way before or after implementation. We lead the architecture review and development process with four key phases:

1. Understand the current state
2. Articulate the desired future state
3. Identify the gaps between the two
4. Develop approaches to close the gaps

Our architecture reviews are not performed in a vacuum. It is important that key resources are involved along the way so the resulting architecture supports each of our customer's business and technical requirements. Because of our depth of experience, our customers benefit by receiving an architecture that is flexible, creative and strategic. Our reviews encompass:

Open Source Replacement Analysis

Open Source software (OSS) has proven to be safe, scalable and a cost-effective to many marketable products. The biggest benefit of Open Source is the readily available source code that can be modified at ease to make it work according to specific needs. This allows programs to be tailored specifically to your requirements, without the cost of commencing the product from scratch. The advantages of customizing and creating your own product can be a decisive business advantage for your company to those using packaged products.

In recent years, software development organizations have recognized the potential of open source consulting as a mean to customize and implement cost-effective, high-quality, and secure open source solutions. Open source projects result in better software - as they use the best ideas and implementations from anyone using it.

Autonomic Resources is a leading provider of open source solutions for mission-critical enterprise applications. We offer open source consulting services that help increase the quality, consistency, and efficiency of the open source software. We provide open source consultancy services in following areas:

Business Intelligence (BI) Services

BI is the latest term that refers to the skills, technologies, applications, and practices used to help a business acquire a better understanding of its information. BI applications provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations and often aim to support better organizational decision-making. BI can refer to items such as:

• Data warehouses
• Data marts
• Decision support systems
• Executive information
• Reporting systems

Autonomic Resources provides open source business intelligence solutions to federal, state, and local governments as well as commercial entities. We can help you bring actionable intelligence to your organization's strategies and operations, through best practice data warehouse integration, analytics, and performance management services. We harness your enterprise data and focus its use on both operational decision management and strategic performance measurement. With a transformative approach, structured to fit your existing organizational capabilities and IT investments, the opportunities are limitless.

We coordinate with your staff on a BI project until it is implemented. It can vary, but a typical project can last anywhere from 1-2 years and have team sizes of 3-10 people. We have expertise with the following specific technologies used in many BI projects:

Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)

CMIS is a standards proposal consisting of a set of Web services for sharing information among disparate content repositories that seeks to ensure interoperability for people and applications using multiple content repositories. If the CMIS proposal is passed, it will be the first Web services technical specification for exchanging content with and between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. The standards proposal has been registered for public comment with OASIS.

More specifically, CMIS is a technical specification domain model (data and services) for interacting with an document centric ECM repository via Web Services. It provides a content management domain-specific data model, a set of generic services that act on that data model and several protocol bindings for these services, including: SOAP and Representational State Transfer (REST)/(Atom).

CMIS specification provides a Web services interface that is beneficial in that it:

• Is designed to work over existing repositories enabling customers to build and leverage applications against multiple repositories -- unlocking content they already have
• Decouples Web services and content from the content management repository, enabling customers to manage content independently
• Provides common Web services and Web 2.0 interfaces to dramatically simplify application development
• Is development platform and language agnostic
• Supports composite application development and mash-up on the glass by the business or IT analyst
• Grows the ISV and developer community
