Advice
Throughout the software development process, it makes sense to seek the advice of an expert Flex developer. Often, On3 experts identify issues early enough to begin addressing them as part of normal production releases. When better questions are asked during planning, Flex applications are better conceived for development which improves application performance to make your technology scalable and powerful. Time properly spent in the planning phase decreases time to deployment and decreases the effort your Flex developers spend performing production maintenance. Our Flex technical architects make the difference.
Services Oriented Architecture (SOA)
At On3, our technical software architects identify typical processes found in many applications and categorize these as services. These typical processes, or design patterns, become a common service used by Flex applications. This eliminates duplicate code instances, thereby lowering maintenance costs. By categorizing these processes as services, the Flex software architect easily identifies performance issues, duplicated code instances, and other issues generated when code has been poorly written. When SOA architecture is used consistently across the enterprise, the architect level Flex developer leverages an enterprise services bus that will respond to a call from Java, BlazeDS, Oracle, .NET, and PHP web services. The Flex application should only contain logic and code for the controller; data & state management; security container & model; virtual machine; rendering & media; and usually AMF communication services. On3’s software experts have provided advice and made changes to build better software for organizations of all sizes.
Deploying to mobile platforms
Mobile users have different contextual requirements when interacting with an application than desktop users do. The user is much more likely to experience spotty connectivity, slower network speeds, and a have different set of user controls than the desktop or web application user. And the Android, iPhone, or iPad developer can expect much less user input as well as a greater user desire for the application to be “aware” of preferences and need for location specific information. Due to these differences in the user’s experience, the platform’s computing disparities, and user controls, customizations should be made to the application to provide the best experience possible for the mobile user. On3 can make recommendations to provide a smaller set of services, fewer and smaller images, much less data reported, and more application status to mobile development projects on iPad, Android, and iPhone.
Incident resolution
When a software project has issues that cannot be resolved, On3 can help. Systems integration and troubleshooting require deep experience in rich Internet applications that comes from exposure to many different combinations of systems, and applications to troubleshoot and fix bugs to resolve incidents quickly. On3 can provide qualified Flex developers onsite or remotely to troubleshoot and diagnose issues with an existing application; and resolve problems.
