Derive Technologies™ Nurtures the Application Lifecycle
KEY PARTNERS
|
Derive Technologies’ Tier One Alliance Partner, Hewlett-Packard (HP), states that “Applications are at the heart of innovation for business and government. But today many enterprises struggle with too many applications, some of which are aging and inflexible. That diminishes your ability to deliver the products and services customers and citizens demand.” Together with Microsoft, HP, and others, Derive specializes in the application lifecycle, keeping business applications and systems, in the words of HP, “always available and easily adaptable to exploit new opportunities.”
Our team has three decades of experience with applications including proof-of-concept, development and customization, implementation and QA, maintenance and performance monitoring, and optimization and upgrade. Among our most important priorities in the current business climate are bringing leading business applications and data into virtualized and cloud environments and onto mobile devices and mobile workforce paradigms. In the words of Microsoft, “Whether your goal is to buy a new application, extend an existing application, or build one in-house,” Derive’s application implementation, customization, and maintenance models make it easier and more cost effective, “to quickly translate business objectives into IT projects that will add value to your business.” We help our customers, as HP puts it, to “gain control over legacy applications, inflexible processes and infrastructure that impede your responsiveness and slow progress,” so you can “help your enterprise grow and innovate.”
