Success Stories
Global Top 20 Improves Its EA Organizational Impact
- Struggled with implementing and maintaining EA standards, guidelines, and messaging relative to application development
- Difficulty introducing and enforcing supported technology stacks
- No easy way to ensure corporate coding standards and design patterns were leverage
- Accelerated reuse of application services and assets
- Managed the proliferation of 3rd party and libraries
- Guided development efforts with consistent project creation
- Managed the introduction of new languages, frameworks, and toolkits
- Injected enterprise-level architecture principles into each project
- Owned the entire platform, making it easier to extend for their needs
Anteon Deliver For FEMA and DOE; Aqcuired By General Dynamics
- Competitive landscape for US government contractors is very cutthroat, with tight margins, strict guidelines, and rigid delivery schedules
- Anteon needed an automation platform to help reduce application delivery costs and timeframes
- Needed to maintain application functionality and code quality to the highest architecture standards
- A new platform needed to look familiar, be fully functional, and easy to extend
- Initially assimilated the platform into developing internal applications
- Eventually introduced the cost and time saving benefits into its government bidding process
- The platform provided a clear advantage over its competitors
- Instrumental in helping secure large multi-million, multi-year contracts
Trigent Software wins multi-year engagement with ETS, world's largest private nonprofit educational testing and assessment organization
- Apps and skill set predominately C/C++ on native Windows
- Needed a paradigm shift to Java/J2EE

Project creation platform gives partner ISW the edge over IBM to re-architect eBay-US for eBay- China
- The eBay (USA) application architecture evaluated and deemed inadequate for eBay China plans
- Determined scalability was insufficient
- Lack of framework-like structure exposed limited reusable core services
- Tight coupling between presentation, business, and data tiers further hindered reuse
- Rigidity in coding complicated ability to extend existing code base
- Provided training to Chinese SI partner to assist with the build-out of eBay China
- Chosen as the subject matter expert for project architecture oversight
- Used generated outcomes to educate staff on sound design and development principle
Major European university created an accredited class based on Harbormaster technology and methodology.
- University professor desired to offer an accredited course teaching Java framework and application generation principles
- No technology source existed to assist professors in teaching students architecture principles and design patterns
- Lecture code examples lacked depth to fully express how best to create core integrated application services/li>
- Reworked documentation to assist in achieving university accredidation
- College course successfully created and offered at the university
- Students gained real world insight into effective application solutioning and problem solving
