Application Architecture
Ground-up applications and solutions need to be architected with consideration for:
- Decisions on component and service based architectures: J2EE, .NET, Web services.
- Multi-tiering for separation of model, view, and controller, for display device independence, and for pluggable third party and customizable components
- Long-lived and complex business processes
- Manageability and monitoring for enterprise class operations
- Recoverable and fault-tolerant components
Whether you are building a mission-critical software solution, modernizing an obsolete product, or consolidating redundant assets, it is crucial to establish a robust yet flexible architecture to ensure positive results.
Codea’s Production Strategy & Architecture service enables our clients to design a technology foundation that can quickly respond to business changes. The service is built around Production, Codea’s unique methodology to create and consolidate software assets into client-specific platforms that are leveraged across an organization.
At the inception phase of the engagement, Codea conducts an in-depth requirements analysis through facilitated workshops with all the stakeholders to understand our client’s business objectives such as growth, re-alignment, process improvement and more. Our experienced architects, technology experts, and business domain specialists collaborate with clients to identify change drivers and expose hidden factors that may impact the architecture in the long run.
During the elaboration phase, the joint teams compile an inventory of all IT assets and processes to identify redundancies and recurrences that can be consolidated to achieve simplicity and future reuse. The aspects of configurability, customizability, and flexibility are examined very carefully so that they can be built into the design and the solution architecture. The final deliverable is an implementation plan that empowers our clients with a clear roadmap to create platforms, products, and solutions.
The Production Strategy & Architecture service delivers measurable business benefits such as the following: |
- Improved agility through change-ready architectures
- Significant reduction in development, deployment, integration, and maintenance costs due to a better architecture that is built to last.
- Improved strategic visibility through a clear strategy and long-term roadmap.
- Increased predictability through streamlined and tailored process
- Downstream economies of scale through reusable design and flexible architecture

| Portfolio Rationalization |
| |
IT organizations have to constantly optimize the business value of technology. Technology executives understand the need to standardize and rationalize disparate, redundant, or obsolete applications that are accumulated over the years through evolution, acquisition or business unit autonomy. However, rationalizing the portfolio without a clear framework can increase the risk of jeopardizing the current or future IT capabilities.
Codea brings its deep experience to pragmatically rationalize a client’s existing portfolio of applications while keeping up with the pace of innovation. Our Portfolio Rationalization services are built on the foundation of our Production methodology. We enable our clients to eliminate complexity and clutter and, at the same time, enhance the capabilities to embrace future opportunities.
Our technology thought leaders, seasoned architects, business analysts, and vertical domain experts work in tandem with the client teams to map the new and aging products and applications against their business value. We work with our clients to analyze the existing portfolio and extract the recurring, redundant features of the portfolio into a single, standardized, extensible platform. This rationalized platform serves as the foundation for all future solutions.
Through Codea’s unique approach to Rationalization, our clients can achieve the following: |
- Dramatic cost savings through streamlined IT portfolio
- Optimized efficiencies by elimination of redundancy, waste, and clutter
- Increased productivity through greater standardization and less complexity
- Bottom line business impact by creating new “product lines” more effectively

Good architecture can be responsible for the success or failure of your software project - enterprise software products, embedded software, or IT solutions. This comes as no surprise to experienced software and technology systems managers. The related situation in which the required architecture expertise is not available in-house is also familiar. Companies migrating their software to a new platform, or evolving it to take advantage of new technologies, companies looking to move to the next level of scalability as they grow, and companies looking to future-proof their new product or solution development, all may experience a need for additional expertise, without the desire or requirement to staff internally. Our offshore resources allow you to implement the consulting recommendations at a global cost structure. No other offshore development company can provide software services with this degree of value-added.
Codea offers architecture consulting in the following areas:
Integration Architecture
When companies need to strike a balance between adopting new industry standards and protecting and leveraging existing investments, an evolutionary migration from legacy to modern technologies is required. Companies may need to move to service based architectures for extra- and intra-enterprise integration, in addition they may be facing the integration of technologies that do not integrate naturally or easily: .NET versus J2EE, Java versus C# versus C/C++ versus COBOL.
Performance Architecture
Architecting for performance has several components:
- Loosely coupled systems integrated via synchronous and asynchronous messaging.
- Loosely coupled systems with high end-to-end throughputs and low latency responses.
- Scalability from single machine to clustered server farm environments.
