    System Integration & Technology

    Addressing Special Business Needs
    Today, many common business problems can be solved with commercially available applications, or "packages" that are ready "out of the box". However, there are cases where such packages are not able to address specific business problems, and many organizations' needs are not met by simply using a package. Each company has unique requirements that must be addressed with a different approach. If your company has such a need - a specific need that is critical to your business, you must undertake a custom development initiative.

    Custom-Built Solutions
    Cambridge has long been renowned for its unique and proven project delivery methodology.
    At Cambridge, we have designed hundreds of custom-built solutions for major corporations, and have fully integrated them with their existing enterprise systems. Our proven and successful methodology is geared toward minimizing the pains and issues commonly associated with complex custom IT projects, such as:

    Pains and Issues

  • Cost (rates, economies of scale, resource optimization)
  • Time to market
  • Project risk
  • Lack of control and visibility
  • Lack of scope management
  • Complex technologies and environments
  • Lack of standards
  • Lack of maintainability and extensibility
  • Quality of documentation

    		•

    Custom solutions from Cambridge provide flexibility - they offer you a true opportunity to align your IT systems with your business priorities and allow you to model the technology around your business, while simultaneously leveraging your current IT investments. Our competent IT architects will design a flexible and re-usable architecture to ease future business expansion and growth, and give you a sustained competitive edge.

    Characteristics of Custom-Built Solutions

  • High technical constraints
  • Consolidation
  • Extraction of data
  • Gaps between applications. There is often a high business value in these gaps
  • Most products cannot fit the specific business needs of a company
  • There is a need to connect different systems
  • There is a need to implement a full new system
  • There are business requirements specific to a certain industry

    Cambridge's Areas of Expertise

    At Cambridge, our experience in custom-built solutions covers a wide-range of projects, industries, technologies, and business pains. Two solutions commonly required are application or data migration and systems integration. Cambridge has successfully delivered on projects in these areas with top-tier organizations and superior customer satisfaction.

    Migration
    Whether you need to migrate between two different technologies (.Net to J2EE, client/server to n-tier architecture), between two versions of the same technology (.NET 1.0 to 3.0, HTTP/XML to SOAP or REST web services, Oracle 9i to 11g, etc), or between two entirely different paradigms (Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 with AJAX mashups), Cambridge has the experience you need.

    Most organizations have tools they have developed in-house which are critical but archaic, and many more again have entire generations of critical applications running on third-party commercial software that is reaching its EOL (End-Of-Life) and thus will soon have the vendor's technical support discontinued. Migrating these systems and their data is a difficult challenge, with no room for error. Such projects require a solid technical understanding of the products and technologies used, and many require a re-engineering of the systems altogether. Would you entrust this task to just any IT consultancy company?

    Integration
    No application is a silo anymore. Increasingly, organizations depend on the applications they have, and their data, to interface with one another (or outside the organization with partners and suppliers) in order to provide valuable insight into trends using business intelligence, and to support a more streamlined and integrated business process. This means previously disparate systems must be integrated.

     

    Integration projects can be very complex, and therefore require a solid knowledge of the technologies and standards, as well as the tools and products available to help. Whether you need to integrate your supply chain platform with an emerging marketplace, integrate your HR and finance systems, or connect your ERP platform with your intranet, Cambridge has been there.
