SOFTWARE SERVICES

Software for embedded systems typically have a small footprint (i.e. be able to run in a small amount of memory) and often has to work in real-time . Specialised operating systems and languages facilitate the production of real-time software with a small footprint: only the modules required in a specific system will be included. The development environment should include facilities for testing and debugging the software. Emulators can be used to test the software without the target system (especially useful if the target system is not yet available) and related equipment (such as machine tools).

However with advances in hardware some of these notions about embedded systems have changed. While requirements like real time responses remain, the processing power available and resource availability like memory have increased and facilitated implementation of complex functionalities on embedded software. In addition, tools for development of software have also evololved to provide additional support to developers so that developers can focus more on applications development than on issues like memory optimization etc.. As we are in the field for long, we are able to notice the change and deploy appropriate skills to exploit these advances. At the same time as have senior people to dive deep in case we need to resort to low level tools and techniques.

At i-Trust, we are involved in designing , programming and developing embedded software components and systems. I-Trust uses object-oriented programming techniques and rigorous project management to create software for hardware. Your embedded product / project benefits from I-Trust creating the right abstractions, which means that the code is a clear and efficient reflection of the hardware.

i-Trust engineers know which situations benefit from leveraging high-level tools such as UML and which require to-the-metal programming with assembly language, such as time-critical code sections. It helps that i-Trust engineers understand hardware; they can even read schematics.

Web application covers a very wide range of software applications and involves number of technologies. The complexity also varies widely that it is impossible to know differentiate between good/bad service providers. Added to this is the factor that even the clients many times are not aware of parameters to specify based on which they can declare project as “complete”. The success of web application is affected by parameters like user interface design (look and feel, ease of use, response times to name a few). It is well understood that there is a lot of subjectivity in assessing these factors as parameters like network speeds, knowledge level of users etc..play a role

However following technologies play a major role

- Platforms like asp.net or java based platforms

- Frameworks/tools for UI development, business logic development and integration with DBs.

- Databases (Oracle, SQL server, mysql, db2 etc..).

- Deployment platforms like machines, OSes, and of course CLOUD.

- Device integration if data originates from devices which is gaining popularity

- Integration With third party software for various functionalities like mails, messaging, social networking software etc.

The depth of understanding required by the service provider depends on the complexity of the applications, tool usage permitted, customization required/envisaged, performance requirements, scalability etc..

i-trust has developed number of web applications.

We are in a "continuum" state of innovation. We help you address your suspicion that wireless computing may be just another glamorous set of technologies in search of a real business raison-d'être. Mobile devices have come a long way from running small kernel operating systems to Android/IOS and windows. So are the variety of applications being developed. We have not only followed it closely but have "Lived Through it". This only means that i-Trust can no only develop applications on cell phone/mobile devices "now", but can continue to migrate it to new devices in future. i-Trust 's mobile Application Development team has strong project experiences of working with WinCE based phones, Android OS, Windows Phones as well as iphones. Also we have worked with leading technologies and toolsets. Our team has excellent experience in MFC and API under all popular mobile OS'es, we are Skilled with all types of screens, including plain screens and touch screens including custom interfaces, non-standard buttons and toolbars to name a few. Our programming skills include Multi-thread support, REST, web sockets, Complex math algorithms under Phone/device Operating systems, and proprietary optimization know-how for storage/speed ratio.

Using structured methodologies and proven IT processes i-Trust , reduces the complexity, risks and costs associated with client/server development. We will help you develop customized software applications and assist you thorough out the entire software development Life Cycle, including project management, systems analysis and design, software development, implementation and training.

For the distributed applications development, i-Trust employs component technologies like COM, DCOM, Enterprise Java Beans , RMI and CORBA and UML design patterns for software design.

Enterprise applications need to constantly keep up with changing business needs. However, applications are typically added over a period of time and frequently do not link up to each other. i-Trust's Enterprise Application Integration solutions create custom data import/export programs to exchange data between systems that do not otherwise "talk" to each other. Such solutions help the different packages used by an organization to work as a harmonious unit.
