The best technical expertise, the best practices, the best people.
Let Talient put it all together for you!


Technical Expertise
 
One of the bigger challenges of businesses today is to pull together many of its disparate systems into an integrated whole. New systems must work hand in hand with legacy applications. Systems that were previously assumed to be entirely internal must now be exposed through an e-commerce site. Existing systems were developed using a myriad of technologies. And above all, the company must continue doing business as these solutions are being developed and deployed.

Talient can help. The Talient staff has a wealth of experience with many languages, platforms and tools. We have used Java since its first commercial release and have worked with all of its enterprise tools along the way. We have similarly deep experience with C++, C and many other languages. We have worked on all major operating systems and in most networking environments. We have worked with many major middleware products and various tools and we have used all of the major database vendors. Talient is well prepared to work with your legacy systems and your preferred platform for new development.

But Enterprise systems are much more than the sum of their parts. Integrating distributed systems and developing multi-tiered architectures present their own unique challenges and Talient knows how to meet them. For example, we design solutions that are:

  • Scalable - As your business grows and changes, your enterprise-level systems will be stressed in unanticipated ways. Our designs minimize bottle-necks and support tuning individual components of the system to avoid having to commit massive additional resources to the entire system.
  • Reliable - In the real world, systems inevitably go down or communication is lost between systems. Our designs provide for "fail-over" to redundant systems and allow work to proceed in the face of a temporary communications breakdown.
  • Maintainable - Applications will add new functionality. Components will need to interact with newly developed systems. We use design techniques proven to maximize the flexibility of the system and to localize the effects of such changes, reducing the implementation costs throughout the entire development process from design to coding to testing to deployment.
  • Secure - We understand session management and how to use secure protocols both on the web and behind the scenes. Our designs implement security from the ground up, providing multiple layers of protection while minimizing the complexities and costs of development.
Talient provides a wealth of experience to a company wishing to develop an integrated solution using new and existing software in a distributed multi-platform, n-tier environment.

Our experience includes many industries. Talient knows e-commerce (e.g. order management systems, shopping carts and online payment processing and billing). Talient knows Broadband (e.g. cable "flow-through" provisioning, customer self-care and DSL circuit management). Talient knows Telecom (e.g. SONET fault management and quality-of-service performance monitoring).


 
Practices
 
Talient has the experience to know that one size does not fit all. We have worked on many different projects in many different settings and know that a rigid methodology is guaranteed to fail. What is necessary to manage a large project will swamp a small project with many unnecessary costs and even a large project can be paralyzed by inexpertly applied procedures. Also, attempting to make even the right changes at the wrong time can destroy a project.

Instead, Talient brings in suite of proven best practices that match your specific needs. We understand how to work within the existing system to improve processes incrementally without disrupting your organization. Talient is committed to producing the finest product with the minimum amount of overhead.

 
People
 
Our staff of consultants makes Talient truly unique.

We maintain our standards of quality and effectiveness by hiring only developers who have had direct work experience with one of our established team members. Our consultants must have many years of relevant experience, be self-managed, customer presentable, and, most importantly, have a cooperative working style. This ensures that the consultants Talient provides enhance and accelerate project development for our customers, especially during "crunch" time, and reduces the problems that arise when developers are thrown together without consideration given to differing working styles and individual talents and weaknesses.

The benefit to our customer is magnified when Talient provides a team of developers on a project. Our previous experience in working together allows us to maximize each other's strengths and abilities. A proven team of Talient consultants will have the experience, expertise and group cohesiveness to work with a customer to find and implement the best solution.

Talient has the experience and motivation to help make you a success. Whether you're in a race to get a product to market before your competitor, you've spent last year's budget on products that don't quite work together as promised or you're having a hard time going from a brilliant idea to a real world implementation, let Talient put it all together for you!
