Recognize any of these problems? Look at the solutions, below

1. You are spending a bundle on J2EE or .NET applications and frsutrated because all those expensive UML drawings seem to be discarded 2 days after they are approved?

2. Remote offices need access to the corporate WAN but telecoms costs are sapping the departmental budget?

3. You know you need a VPN but a hardware solution seems to costly or you don't know what kind?

4. Need to deploy a secure B2C site but the IT department has no resources available?

5. Employees are demanding access from home but security concerns have you worried?

6. You use 3^rd party developers but security concerns inhibit their access to the corporate WAN (e.g., to the Problem Tracking System)?

7. You use 3^rd party developers but you have no way to track what documents they have been given or what they gave you, and your legal department is getting anxious?

8. Using MS Exchange for document management is limiting and you'd like an economical way to promote document collaboration, versioning, and above all, a decent way to categorize and find documents?

9. You have 40 departmental servers and management is becoming a nightmare so you'd like to consolidate them?

10. You need a B2C site up in a hurry and are looking for a turnkey solution?

11. You've looked at Portals, but they don't solve the Single Sign On problem, or they can't support legacy client/server applications securely?

12. You want to access Wintel or Unix applications remotely and securely (even at an Internet Café) without changing them?

13. Worried about a Security Audit? Need information about Security Standards?

14. Have 14 different databases of users each with a different password policy, creating a security nightmare and wasting IT resources?

15. Got a great product idea but telecoms costs (frame relay or leased lines) make it uneconomical?

16. Customers get a blank page when they visit your website?

These are a sample of the problems that ApogeeCT has solved, saving or resulting in $$ millions to the bottom line

Some tools in the ApogeeCT arsenal:

Model Driven Architecture

Use the latest Object Model Group (OMG) blessed technology to reduce development costs by an order of magnitude. See our paper – An Introduction to Model Driven Architecture (pdf) or look at the MDA presentation.

WWW based applications

4-tier architecture for rapid development and ease of maintenance

1. Lightweight client - Java Beans components

2. Servlet for Authentication, Authorization, Auditing, Entitlements and proxying

3. Business logic server - keep all the business logic in one place and don't clutter it with anything else

4. Database

Employee Portals

Ways for employees to access infrastructure components securely and auditably

Remote offices

The most cost effective ways to connect remote offices to the corporate LAN

Customers

B2B and B2C interactive web services

Single Sign On

Mostly achievable with the exception of legacy client/server applications

Applications

Architecture, design, implementation, testing, deployment, training - fixed price or T&M

Reverse Engineering

With our extensive knowledge of VAX/VMS and C we can help you port legacy applications to contemporary hardware and software platforms.

Web Site Design

We don't normally do this because there are others who can do it much better but we would be happy to subcontract the design at cost to a local agency. We can easily take an existing design and incorporate it into the Portal, or work with your in-house web designers.

Web Site implementation

We can provide software for your servers or we can arrange to have it hosted for you - we'll even get the server - at a local facility that provides hosting at a very reasonable cost. And we make sure that the site works with IE6, Opera, and Netscape which means no plugins like Flash that merely irritate your customers without adding value.

Here some questions ApogeeCT can answer

Security

• When is it appropriate to use SSL/TLS versus IPSec to implement a VPN? What are the benefits and tradeoffs?

• Is there a way to provide secure access to specific infrastructure resources for 3^rd parties?

• If 3^rd parties can access infrastructure could someone compromise the intranet?

• Can employees access their corporate email from an Internet Café without causing a security problem?

• How can the corporation improve its security practices?

Networking

• What is the difference between a hub and a switch?

• Can IPSec be used via a NAT gateway?

• How can DNS be set up so that resources can be accessed via the Extranet and the Intranet without configuration changes?

Portals

• What is a portal?

• Can our legacy applications be accessed via a Portal in a secure way?

There's only one way to find out if we can answer your questions - email us at answers@apogeect.com and we'll get back to you asap.
