Application and Database Development

Custom applications and database can save organizations valuable hours on a wide range of tasks, convert data into useful, profitable information, and make your technology work more intelligently for you.

Knight Point embraces a client-centric, collaborative approach, to application development which provides the foundation for each stage and component of an application development engagement. This includes working with the customer to plan a strategic vision, build an effective and practical solution, and integrate the appropriate systems and technologies to provide competitive advantages.

Knight Point consultants collaborate with customers to plan strategies, architectures, and designs that help their enterprises enhance customer relationships and grow their business with an emphasis on the return on investment (ROI). We assist customers with user experience scenarios, internet/intranet strategies, application and web-based prototyping, web mapping and content management strategy.

Knight Point offers strong project management expertise and development skills to support enterprise-wide projects. We team with industry-leading technology partners to offer our customers a “best-of-breed” approach and develop custom software solutions for tailored environments.

Release Management

Organizations are beginning to understand the value in maturing several IT service management processes that have received less attention in the past. One of the most critical of thesis is release management.

Release management is a software engineering process intended to oversee the development, testing, deployment and support of software releases. The practice of release management combines the general business emphasis of traditional project management with a detailed technical knowledge of the systems development lifecycle (SDLC) and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) practices.

Knight Point works within a release management methodology that brings transparency and structure to software and application updates. This process begins in the development cycle with requests for changes or new features. If the request is approved, the new release is planned and designed. The new design enters the testing or quality assurance phase, in which the release is built, reviewed, tested and tweaked until it is ultimately accepted as a release candidate. The release then enters the deployment phase, where it is implemented and made available. Once deployed, the release enters a support phase, where bug reports and other issues are collected; this leads to new requests for changes, and the cycle starts all over again. Knight Point consultants will work with your organization to ensure that changed are efficient and secure and bring value to the organization by understanding and capturing the dependencies between your technology environment and thee business that it supports.

Installation and Configuration

Knight Point consultants have the skills and reference experiences required to complete an efficient, successful and well-organized installation. In recognizing and understanding the critical installation decisions, we can help you plan the installation and determine the appropriate system resources required for optimal performance.
Application Integration and Data Migration

How much time and money have you spent deploying best-of-breed enterprise applications to automate business processes? How many resources have you used developing and maintaining “home grown” applications that perform functions unique to your business? Despite these investments have you found that these systems are inherently incompatible?

The collaboration software market has undergone dramatic changes during recent years. Previously dominated by proprietary solutions and largely standalone products, the focus has recently converged toward a more consistent, standards-based, and integrated collaboration model in which people can more naturally collaborate in the context of their preferred tools. The business value of efficient and effective collaborative applications is now widely understood; collaborative applications are now mission-critical. Organizations seeking to optimize their collaborative applications face a variety of challenges, ranging from constraints due to the large installed base of earlier collaboration products to new requirements such as the need to securely and seamlessly accommodate new device types and cross enterprise boundaries.

Application integration is the process of bringing data or a function from one application together with that of another. Where these programs already exist, the process is sometimes realized by using middleware, either packaged by a vendor or written on a custom basis. A common challenge for an enterprise is to integrate an existing, or legacy, application with a new program or with a web services program of another company. Knight Point consultants analyze your business processes and create integration solutions to optimize your workflows and maximize your application production using Business Intelligence (BI) methodologies and tools.

Managed Database Services

Organizations today demand the highest levels of information availability and data protection to support their applications. Knight Point’s Managed Database Services are a flexible solution that can be used effectively to fit the needs of any organization. Whether you are attempting to lower IT costs through outsourcing, or looking for expertise to help you take advantage of the latest features and functions of your database, we can help. Knight Point has an extensive team of DBAs who can deliver database expertise when and where it’s needed.

Knight Point consultants fulfill the role of the Systems Database Administrator, installing database applications and configuring relevant parameters, configuring and attaching file systems, and setting up both clustering and replication, and database backups. On an ongoing basis, our consultants assume responsibility for database health monitoring and effecting failover for both clusters and replicas. Our database specialists work in partnership with either in-house technical resources or solution partners, for tablespace maintenance, warehousing, and optimization. We will also assist in the strategic planning and database migration for ‘no transactions lost’ cut-overs from existing environments for new clients, including migrating to new versions of a database platform.

Our services include database monitoring, assessments and documentation of your environment, as well as thorough backup, recovery and security reviews. We adhere to ISO 9001 management frameworks to ensure efficiency, reliability, and consistency.
