The Enterprise Application Development: |
|
Siloed applications. Limited resources. Diminishing IT budgets. Sound familiar?
Today's enterprise is complex, system users are demanding, and effective decision making
is critical. Customers, suppliers and employees need access to accurate information.and
fast. But with so many individual systems, information is often difficult to locate from
one end of the organization to the other.
Snap-on provides Enterprise Application Development services which
help companies design and build applications that can easily and quickly integrate and
interoperate with multiple systems across your organization.
In fact, Snap-on's Application Development Framework is designed to
simplify and improve the quality of enterprise application development within highly
complex systems environments or stand-alone applications.

Custom Application Development: |
|
Because your business wasn't built in a box.
Whether you're developing an order management system or enhancing a parts and accessories
catalog, automating your business processes may sometimes require a packaged software
product to provide commoditized functionality to your business users. However, implementing
a packaged solution may often create unnecessary overhead especially when comparing the
total product cost paid against the total functionality that is leveraged.
In fact, many leading software analysts have estimated that nearly 80% of the required
functionality of any given system is already in place within an organization.
Snap-on's custom application development services help companies leverage their existing
IT investments and unclutter the corporate closet of shelfware. And because your business
processes are unique, Snap-on can help you design system functionality that helps you gain
and sustain your competitive advantage. Specifically, Snap-on's custom application
development services provide companies with:
|
Configurable components that can be assembled to build a new system or reused to enhance an existing application. |
|
Flexible architectural design patterns that map exactly to your specific business processes rather than forcing your processes to adapt to those in a packaged application. |

Application Re-engineering: |
|
What's your legacy?
Snap-on's application re-engineering services help adapt your existing IT environment to
changes in your business.
Most likely, your antiquated legacy applications don't satisfy your current business needs.
The challenge with most stand-alone legacy systems is they were typically designed to
perform specific, one-off business functions. As today's enterprise requires close
collaboration between people and systems, incompatible technologies and disjointed
interfaces impede productivity and:
|
Make it difficult to integrate multiple applications and share information across application boundaries. |
|
Inhibit ability to respond rapidly to changing market conditions. |
Snap-on application re-engineering services help you improve the functionality and reliability of your IT systems by:
|
Migrating your business applications to a service- oriented architecture. |
|
Developing applications using web services. |
|
Integrating communication standards. |
