UNIFY JADE CONSULTANCY
Unify JADE Consultancy Practice is an accredited JADE Partner
offering a complete range of JADE-related professional services
to clients in New Zealand and Australia. We have specialized in
JADE Consultancy and Application Development since 1997. Our application
developments usually take advantage of the rapid development environment
and lowered maintenance costs associated with the JADE software
development environment. We also develop products that provide benefit
to any organization developing JADE applications.
Unify JADE Consultancy Practice is a division of Unify Group.
Unify Group creates, manages and accelerates ventures that rely
on software development for their success.
Unify JADE Consultancy Practice services include:
Strategic IT Planning. We have worked successfully
in the past with the senior management and/or the internal IT staff
of organizations to help the organization map its strategic path.
A fresh look by someone from outside can help to separate the strategic
from the operational and define a forward focused strategy.
At a low level, these planning services range from defining the
strategic goals for a current software development to helping an
organization plan their Internet presence. At a higher level, they
have included review and enhancement of a large organization’s
IT strategy.
Custom Business Application Software Development.
We work with companies at all stages of the software development
life cycle. Some projects come to us in concept form, others as
requirements definition documents. There is no "typical"
project for us. The key aspect to all these projects is that they
are scoped and specified before development and focused on the business
requirements first and the technical solution second.
Custom Complex Technology Software Development.
We have a strong background in the architectural design of complex
technology solutions and the ability to develop solutions both in
JADE and in a variety of complimentary technologies.
Onsite Development (Contracting). The development
workload for any company can vary considerably. This can be through
an increase in demand for services, the loss of staff members, or
the inability to hire the skills required. Unify JADE Consultancy
Practice can provide onsite development services to key clients
to help them manage the demand for their services.
