Com1 offer Enterprise Consulting Services which focus on applying new technology and industry best practices with customer business initiatives.

We achieve this by working closely with our customers, validating their needs and applying our lessons learned.

Services include development of a sound business strategy, vision and a technology roadmap with the following:

• Business Processing Modelling
• Workflow Analysis
• Object-orientated Modelling
• Database Modelling

Data modelling is often the first step in database design and object-oriented programming as the designers first create a conceptual model of how data items relate to each other. Data modelling involves a progression from conceptual model to logical model to physical schema.

• Enterprise Integration Architecture
• Application Architecture & Planning

Enterprise integration architecture (EIA) is about being reactive – it's an architecture to facilitate integration of applications that were never designed to work together in the first place. Typically, the primary role of an EIA is synchronizing data among all the disparate systems. So, for example, you might need to make sure a customer's address change is recorded in all different systems that have a copy of the customer record.

In contrast SOA is about being proactive – it's an architecture designed to enable applications to work together the day they are deployed. An SOA, instead of focusing on synchronizing multiple copies of redundant data, seeks to avoid the redundancy in the first place – providing a single view and way to manipulate common business entities such as customers, orders, etc. and a single way to define your business processes on top of these – regardless of the underlying applications.

Real world architectures, in fact, require a bit of both approaches. You will never be able to fully eliminate redundancy or having processes built into applications if you own and use multiple packaged applications – thus the continued need for EIA. However, for custom applications, overarching business processes, portals, Web sites, dashboards and other similar applications, having these applications use well defined services for common business tasks information access can dramatically improve your time to delivery, total cost of ownership, and – in the end – your business agility.
