Application Architecture

Department of Energy

A well-designed data and service architecture is the most important factor in determining whether or not an operations management system will ultimately be successful. A successful architecture is measured not only by how well it supports the initial feature set, but, more importantly, by how responsive it is to modifications and additions.

Chainbridge designed systems have grown from 1 or 2 modules used by half a dozen back office staff into business critical operations management systems used daily by thousands of personnel. By strictly enforcing standards (naming, structural and normalization) and using commonly accepted technologies with a broad developer base, these systems can continually and incrementally expand without costly redevelopment efforts. Equally important, the reliance on such standards and technologies allows these systems to be supported long term with a fluid team.
