Middleware
Middleware is the software that consists of sets of services that allow multiple programs, machines, and or interfaces to interact. Basically, each company has systems that develop over time as their business changes and grows. Complications can occur when different systems need to exchange data. Some software or systems have plugins that let them pass information to other systems. Often times these plugins are limited to a few key programs. Even more frequently there isn't any plugin at all, this is where TJC can help you. As your business grows applications and systems in place may become more complex but will not communicate or pass information from one to the other. This can ends up creating lots of duplicate entry, extra man hours and exponentially increase the likelihood of errors. All of these can harm your business.
The solution is Middleware. Whether you are dealing with legacy systems or new systems TJC will meet with you and your team, discuss your immediate needs and discuss your plans for the future.
Our development team will put together a middleware solution to support your current needs and be flexible enough to grow to meet your future goals. TJC can help you implement best practices guidelines and avoid the frequent mistakes inherent in passing data between systems.
Your middleware may sit on a dedicated server, on your network or in the cloud. It all depends on your needs and how the different systems will interoperate with each other.
Worried about being left in room of techies? Don’t be, TJC’s support team will be meeting with you and working out the details each step of the way. They will help put together the correct people with the correct skill sets to get you to your goals with all manner of efficiency and accuracy.
For Techies: Middleware is computer software components or people and their applications. The software consists of a set of services that allows multiple processes running on one or more machines to interact. This technology evolved to provide for interoperability in support of the move to coherent distributed architectures, which are most often used to support and simplify complex distributed applications. It includes web servers, application servers, and similar tools that support application development and delivery. Middleware is especially integral to modern information technology based on XML, SOAP, Web services, and service-oriented architecture.
Middleware sits "in the middle" between application software that may be working on different operating systems. It is similar to the middle layer of a three-tier single system architecture, except that it is stretched across multiple systems or applications.
TJC’s middleware development team consists of support, systems engineers, and software developers. Each project is evaluated and supported as efficiently as possible while still meeting your goals. If you are looking for team players we are it, and can work with your programming staff, within your team or as a separate group. In middleware development, many groups may come together to achieve several objectives and flexibility is the name of the game. TJC is here to help you.
