Application Objects, Inc. (AOI) has been active in defining, confirming, implementing, deploying, and subsequently managing large-scale distributed system architectures over a period of several years.

Specializing in helping customers with the initial definition and subsequent deployment of such architectures, AOI provides consulting services and product offerings to support the normal phases for architecture implementation and confirmation.

The importance of architecture has been a prime topic in recent years. At its most basic level, architecture provides the framework for applications: the same blueprint provided in the more traditional architectural industry. Building upon this technical infrastructure foundation, frameworks, components, and other approaches provide a robust approach to supporting the enterprise.

Enterprise Systems Architecture is a particular discipline of specialty within Application Objects, Inc. We have supported clients in defining strategic architectures for implementing the next generation of mission critical systems.

Architectural elements providing the component-based infrastructures are complemented by elements for vertical component-based architectures.

Specific services and capabilities of AOI include:

• Technology visioning and strategy
• Architecture definition and justification
• Technology consolidation and rationalization
• Technology transformation
• Product set evaluation
• Mentoring and knowledge transfer
• Architecture "futureproofing"
