| |
| A long history of development in the Networked Distributed Client Server environment as well as Internet, E-commerce and E-business domains in both Microsoft and J2EE technologies driven by Sun/Oracle/IBM have been successfully leveraged into a plethora of new methodologies/technologies, like Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Agile modeling techniques, Ajax-based development (including using Ruby and RAIL environment AJAX libraries) as well as J2ME based BREW development. |
| |
| The Company focuses on three main areas, System Software, Applications and Internet. Please visit the links for more information. |
| |
| Silicon Interfaces has been successful in acquiring vertical domain expertise based on its Software Services rendered to Fortune top companies in North America and Europe in the areas of Banking and Financial, Travel (Online), Retail (Online) and Telecom |

| Service Oriented Architecture |
| |
| Silicon Interfaces has been propagating the virtues of Service Oriented Architecture since early 2005 based on research and analysis of the markets in the year 2004. It was a natural move for a Company with extensive Web Services experience as well as undertaking spaghetti of Application Integration through the initial parts of the new millennium. If you are looking for a Company who has already undertaken extensive work on the following in terms of: |
| |
|
• Developing Open Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) |
| |
|
• Identifying Business Process (BP) and implementing using Web Services |
| |
|
• Permitting free interchange of data with a robust Digital Model and addressing Interoperability issues based on XML, SOAP and WSDL |
| |
|
• Resolving Quality of Services (QoS) issues based on Security and Storage |
| |
| and have the necessary Skills required for Open Source Sun/Oracle/BEA Servers and Tools in the J2EE, J2SE and J2ME as well as dot Net Enterprise Servers, Frameworks and Microsoft Tools and Technologies for implementation for SOA then please do consider our services in this domain. |
| |
| Silicon Interfaces has found that using Service Oriented Architecture has many benefits including: |
| |
|
• Integration and Collaboration across enterprise boundaries opens a wide range of benefits including more efficiency, better decision making, reduced cycle time and seamless update of data across the network, consistency of processing etc. |
| |
|
• Cost Savings, Information needs to be entered just once |
| |
|
• Forward Thinking, Addition of new products and Businesses would just be a case of plugging in that process very efficiently into the SOA. |
| |
| The Tools used by our Architects for implementing SOA architecture: |
| |
|
• Microsoft Biztalk with Host Integration Server |
| |
|
• BEA Aqualogic |
| |
|
• Oracle SOA Suite |
| |
| Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD) |
| |
| When it comes to a large development over an extended period of time, various methodologies have been propagated and used over the years, including by Silicon Interfaces, and it has been noticed that what works in one environment may not work in all environments, particularly when the market expectations and time to market goals may be a changing parameter. Right from Event Driven Architecture through to Service Oriented Architecture, Silicon Interfaces has been changing its development models and processes in order to achieve maximum compliance to specifications, incorporation of Change Orders as well as achieve Time-to-market goals. |
| |
| In this, Agile Model Driven Development has proven to be beneficial to the Company, particularly keeping it Clients needs in mind. |
| |
| The Process has been as follows: |
| |
|
• Focus of People, Not Technology |
| |
|
• Display Models Publicly |
| |
|
• Keep it Simple |
| |
|
• Artifacts to be Good Enough |
| |
|
• Embrace Change |
| |
|
• Work Iteratively and Incrementally |
| |
|
• Create several Models |
| |
|
• Apply Rights Artifacts |
| |
|
• Iterate to Another Artifact |
| |
|
• Model in Small Increments |
| |
|
• No need to create complete models |
| |
|
• JIT model storming approach |
| |
|
• Quality of Service |
| |
|
• Build in conjunction with Project Teams |
| |
|
• Prototype Early |
| |
|
• Look at the Whole Picture |
| |
| Tools |
| |
|
• Oracle Fusion Middleware |
| |
|
• Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) |

| AJAX and Ruby on Rails |
| |
| An emerging Web development technique promises to shake up the status quo in PC software and blur the line between desktop and Web applications. |
| |
| Over the years, desktop applications tied to a specific operating system have become entrenched as the main way to work on a computer. AJAX, a set of development techniques standardized over the past eight years, could change all that by bringing more sophisticated interfaces to Web applications. |
| |
| At the moment, Web pages are limited, compared with most desktop applications. AJAX frees Web pages from the restriction they suffer from by making them more interactive and so more functional. |
| |
| Using AJAX, developers can create an interactive user interface that's comparable to what's available on desktop applications. |
| |
| Further, a very common operation in web-based programming is querying an SQL database and returning the results in a way that is meaningful to the rest of the program. Silicon Interfaces utilized the Rails framework which includes a high-powered database access library called ActiveRecord that simplifies the process of using SQL databases from within an application. A few other common tasks for which Rails provides pre-written libraries include: form data validation, application templates, email sending and receiving, date and time formatting and manipulation, session and cookie management, and interactive client-side functionality in web pages with AJAX. Rails include an extensive library of AJAX functions that can be used without any Javascript knowledge. |
| |
| Silicon Interfaces were early players in the market. Even as Google was releasing, a close to perfect implementation of Ajax in Google Maps, Silicon Interfaces Engineering and Technical teams were focused on delivering the world’s first Ajax Scheduler and Calendar for the Enterprise and Corporate world with extension to be the Diary to the Consumer segments for Doctors, Students and Clinics. Ajax permitted the application to have lesser call-backs to the Server and become a much quicker implementation. The Web has become a platform for Collaboration and Silicon Interfaces is ensuring a quick, early and low cost option for adopting Ajax technology. |

| BREW |
| |
| End-to-End Is In |
| |
| Using the complete BREW system, publishers and developers create applications in the language of their choice and offer them to BREW operators, operators use the BREW virtual marketplace to acquire applications and offer them to their subscribers, handset manufacturers use BREW tools to rapidly respond to operator requirements, and subscribers preview and purchase applications from their phone. Completing the solution, BREW facilitates subscriber billing and settlement to publishers, developers and their partners through the BREW Delivery System. |
| |
| The BREW Applications Platform has been chosen by Silicon Interfaces for delivery to the mobile marketing place since |
| |
| • |
BREW is thin. |
| |
| • |
BREW is fast. |
| |
|
• The BREW platform sits right on top of the chip system software, enabling fast C/C++ native applications and easy integration of browsers, virtual machines based on Java™ technology and extensions such as 3D game engines, XML parsers, and video players. |
| |
| • |
BREW is open. |
| |
|
• BREW supports other languages beyond native C/C++, including alternative execution environments such as Java, Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Flash. |
| |
| • |
BREW is extendable, cost-effective and secure |
| |
| A sample application which has been useful in the telecom and internet space, developed by us has been a Web Browser for the Mobile Phone using WAP 2.0 which is running on handsets using Java and Brew for Motorola RAZR and GPRS networks with support for Java MIDP 2.0. This Browser has been the choice of a host of Telecom Operators in Asia and competes effectively with Opera and Access, both not having the extensive Operator coverage. |
