Perch Inc specializes in Enterprise Architectures and Enterprise Application Integration
Architectures (EAI). This includes both the technologies and the agile methods to align, design
and implement these architectures. The technology aspects are covered by knowledge and
implementation of Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) and Event Driven Architectures (EDA). Both
architectures are complementary. SOA is concerned with enabling loosely coupled, business level
and technology independent access to application services. EDA on the other hand is focused at
designing low latency, straight through processing of business events including coordination of
different applications as services. Modern technologies to enable these architectures are based on
open standards and are labeled as Enterprise Service Busses (ESB ) capable of accessing
applications on standard application servers and legacy systems.
The project execution is done :
- based on the continuous business alignment and priorities set by the stakeholders;
- in an incremental and iterative way;
- test and result driven with short feedback cycles to the stakeholders at all levels and
development team members.
- documented according to the principles of agile modeling.
Practically we can provide for an IT-architecture study, describing all the elements for an
integrated information system aligned with the business priorities. This can lead to a
Gap-analysis between the desired functionality, the existing systems and the new packages or
applications under study. Optimizing and implementing the necessary technical IT-infrastructure is
the next step. This will be done for the development environment and the final production
environment. This can include the selection process of framework Software and designing a
manageable production environment. Finally we provide for developing and testing the integrating
code, using the right tools and proven incremental object oriented methodology. If the customer or
the partner wants us to take the complete project responsibility, we are willing to do so. However
customers and partners can always depend upon us for any of these tasks according to their needs.
