Westernacher

While business demands are increasingly propelling the IT market towards packaged solutions and quick implementations, complex mission-critical systems cannot be built overnight. They demand a complex development environment, massive development effort, a range of technology skills, exhaustive domain knowledge, and smooth integration between development initiative and off-the-shelf solutions. Given these demands, organizations often find that they have a vision or requirements for a new IT project or the replacement of existing software, while lacking the means to realize it.

At Westernacher you can find people who understand your concerns and help you to convert your ideas into a system on which you can rely in the future. Through a powerful blend of management and technical expertise, combined with deep industry knowledge and an innovative framework, we collaborate with your business and technology leadership teams to implement the systems and applications that deliver measurable business results.

How Westernacher Can Help

We offer our customers extensive support in the design and implementation of custom IT applications, whether it is a single application or an enterprise-wide system.

Our support extends from the earliest design stages (during which we may already address feasibility and implementation issues) to post-implementation. During the blueprinting phase we create a layout prototype, design the data model, determine the interfaces and are able to map the business processes using UML.

Our skilled consultants offer you technological expertise and best industry practices, as well as clearly defined processes that help you complete your IT projects more efficiently. Since our focus and expertise lay in creating high-value solutions, we offer a full range of IT services from project management to custom turn-key application development.

Why Westernacher?

Successful IT projects demand an experienced team of individuals who have the necessary technical as well as business function knowledge and methodologies. Our team of consultants has the superior qualifications and extensive experience to ensure the success of your project.

Our proven approach to program management helps companies develop the processes, organizational structures and technology needed for enterprise-wide IT project management. This disciplined process further helps them to justify, plan, activate and monitor a portfolio of projects that supports business objectives.

We have over three decades of experience in key industries. Building on this domain of knowledge, we forge long-lasting relationships with our clients, becoming a true extension of their organization and gaining a deep understanding of their business and expectations.

To deliver an IT solution, we use innovative frameworks with emphasis on:

• DataDictionary - Basis for all data fields in databases, system and user interfaces
• XML – Key format used for representing configurations, system and user interfaces
• Java - Single programming language used on all levels of a 3-tier architecture
• JEasy - Powerful tools for design and prototyping of the GUI
• Test procedures - Automated test scripts to support final commissioning and updating of the system
• Platform independence – Due to the use of Java, XML, XSL, HTML and SQL the system can be implemented on all platforms
• OpenSource – Use of proven components without licensing fees
• Architecture for LAN, WAN and ASP solution - The use of a Web Application Server (e.g. JBoss, Tomcat) enables operation on a single PC or as a server solution, in a LAN or worldwide via the internet. The only prerequisite is a browser and the Java Virtual Machine.
