Application Development

Full lifecycle custom software development — from requirements to deployment and support.

Security-First Government-Grade Compliance-Ready

Most entities lack the time and professional resources to develop new applications from scratch. This is especially true for companies or large organizations that cater to a variety of users with unique requirements. In most instances, it is more economical to outsource complex application development projects than to re-direct current resources. Organizations can leverage OpalSoft's talented and skilled professionals to deliver these specialized services.

We have the resources to build and integrate a sophisticated business application to achieve your strategic business objectives. We can create and deploy an application for use in a large or small enterprise business system environment. We offer full lifecycle software development which accepts start to finish responsibility. We help define your requirements and design, develop, test and integrate your new application across multiple platforms.

OpalSoft Process (OSP) Methodology

A disciplined, IEEE-based approach to application development and infrastructure management

The OSP Methodology draws from years of proven application development techniques and is based on IEEE software development methodology and uses best practices in application development and infrastructure management. This proprietary methodology facilitates resource management, scalability, security, communication management, risk management, change management and reuse of software components.

OpalSoft has extensively used the OSP on large scale software development and service operation projects. We have mature and robust processes in the following software development methodologies and architectural approaches:

  • Rapid Application Development
  • Structured Analysis, Design and Development
  • Object-Oriented Design and Development
  • Rational Unified Process
  • Agile Methodology

Open Source & Mobile Solutions

Enterprise-grade open source and iOS/Android development

Being in the Silicon Valley, we partner with large technology companies who are often pioneers in the development and use of advanced technology. We embrace change and leverage these partnerships to provide enterprise-level IT open source solutions that help reduce licensing and maintenance costs.

We understand the value of open source solutions in today's fast-paced, ever-changing business environment where cost and speed to market are both critical factors. We have developed enterprise level, highly scalable open source solutions for high-tech, finance, semi-conductor, and retail technology industries and various federal agencies.

The enterprise Java technology is at the core of these solutions. In addition, we use Spring Framework and Hibernate open source caching solutions. Recently we have integrated Hadoop and Lucene open source technologies in our Big Data solution development. As a believer in the advantages of open source solutions, we have contributed software code to open source projects like Versant Connector (Talend Open Studio) and db4o (advanced database tooling software).

Our staff has significant experience with developing iOS applications for various business teams, including:

  • Design and development of business critical iPhone/iPad applications
  • Experience working with various UI/UX frameworks
  • Development of single sign-on (SSO) and secure authentication methods in mobile applications
  • Integration and development of applications using Apple Push Notification Service
  • Integration of Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions with enterprise authentication systems
  • Integration of MDM solutions with enterprise LDAP systems
  • Integration of MDM solutions with enterprise reporting systems
  • Development of web-based portals to distribute iOS applications based on role-based access
  • Development of iOS applications using Apple OTA distribution protocol based on role-based access
