We deliver more than computer programming. ICS provides critical thinking business specialists that focus on assisting your organization in achieving its business goals through the use of intelligent business tools and modern technology.

Design
ICS's IT business specialists help you analyze and define your software requirements. Documentation is prepared at high and low levels providing software developers a roadmap to build your application.
The next step is.....

Development
Our highly skilled programmers begin the actual coding of your custom application. ICS programmers make your application ergonomically correct, convenient to use and pleasing to the eye. Functions are written, tested and integrated into the main application and tested again. When programming and thorough testing is completed training can begin.

Training
An important part of implementing your custom software is training your personnel to use it effectively. ICS offers training on or off site according to your needs. Another important step in the process is...

Change Management
Change management really begins at the Design level. Giving the proper personnel an opportunity to assist in the design stage helps the company accept and look forward to the new system implementation. ICS maintains contact with those key personnel during the design and development process in order to get feedback and suggestions as the application progresses toward implementation.

Implementation
The big day arrives! It is time to transition to the new system. ICS can be there every step of the way to help your operation effect a smooth transition.

Support
ICS believes in building relationships with its valued clients. We offer many types of support plans to suit your needs. We will be there for you now to support you with your current applications and in the future to produce new applications to gain or maintain that competitive edge successful business managers strive for.

Our solutions can:

Our highly trained staff are also capable of integrating any additional platforms We provide professional custom development services on Windows platforms, as well as many other commercial software products, from business, e-commerce and Web applications, to database systems, network / intranet or standalone applications.

Why outsource your software projects?
The top 4 reasons to outsource are:

Business Applications
Our experience includes object-oriented technology, client server models and traditional legacy systems. We employ Web based systems for enterprise operations and business functions using the e-commerce model of Internet & Intranet. ICS also develops customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), human resources management(HRM), procurement management, training management, travel management systems using back-end databases (Oracle, SQL, Sybase, Informix, DB2, etc.) cross referencing independent and dependent parts of the enterprise with Java, Visual Basic, .net, img/DHTML interfaces using Perl, CGI or ASP. We also create Real-time applications.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
According to Wikipedia, "Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) refers to the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronic means. It is used to transfer electronic documents from one computer system to another (i.e.) from one trading partner to another trading partner. It is more than mere E-mail; for instance, organizations might replace bills of lading and even checks with appropriate EDI messages. It also refers specifically to a family of standards, including the X12 series. However, EDI also exhibits its pre-Internet roots, and the standards tend to focus on ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)-formatted single messages rather than the whole sequence of conditions and exchanges that make up an inter-organization business process."

Manufacturers and distributers use EDI to provide up to the minute (real time) price and availability of products to their resellers. The manufacturer places a file on an web server and allows retailers to download the file. When this system is automated the resellers have upto the minute pricing and availability of products. The ideal scenario works like this, quantities, prices, descriptions and other pertinent data is automatically exported from the manufacturers accounting system periodically (every minute or hour) and placed in an electronic format file, typically a .csv or XML. The file is placed on an FTP web server. Resellers retrieve the file and import it into their inventory system. Now the reseller has current pricing and availability for each product available.

Some of the many Benefits of EDI are:

Object Oriented Development
Object-oriented analysis (OOA) approach involves the development of software engineering requirements and specifications that expressed as a system's object model (which is composed of a population of interacting objects), as opposed to the traditional data or functional views of systems. OOA can yield the following benefits: maintainability through simplified mapping to the real world, which provides for less analysis effort, less complexity in system design, and easier verification by the user; reusability of the analysis artifacts which saves time and costs; and depending on the analysis method and programming language, productivity gains through direct mapping to features of Object-Oriented Programming Languages.

Our object-oriented (OO) software development methodology includes a full-lifecycle, OO Analysis and Design (OOA/D), project management, business planning, maintenance and product enhancements. We follow a fountain model depicting a highly iterative and recursive software development life cycle which is especially suited to an object-oriented software development. Impacts of reuse and domain analysis/design are included to create a comprehensive, yet flexible, development life cycle model description appropriate for object-oriented development. In product lifecycle business-oriented stages are Business Planning, Build and Delivery. Business Planning and Delivery encompass mainly business decisions and customer involvement, and Build is the more technical part of software development.
