The present and the future of IT industry are formed by packet applications and application integration. It can be ascertained after a careful examination that application packets are not suitable to fully cover all activities of a corporation. These were developed for general demands and do not (and cannot) concentrate on solving specific problems.
Development of customized applications is the solution. It is common practice to place a part of the new services of the system in large applications that can be integrated easily and operate independently when implementing application integration solutions. These can be considered customized applications.
Customized application development at Alerant Corp is done by applying modern technologies, development tools and methodologies. The technological base primarily consists of the industry standard Java/J EE. Development methodology applied to our independent project was built on RUP (Rational Unified Process), which is customized if required. The entire development life cycle is covered by software tools.
