twoJ is a valuable partner in your enterprise software efforts as we don't just deliver applications - we deliver business solutions that work. Of course we deliver Internet business (or e-business) applications, and use the latest Java and .NET technologies, but that isn't half the story.

A key principle in our approach is where possible to re-use, not dispose of, existing information systems components you may have. This means you no longer need huge budgets to throw away legacy applications and data in order to purchase new integrated software.

We enable you to get additional ROI from your existing code and data, rather than having to start the ROI counter all over again with totally new software. Our approach to software development combines the best of recent practices in the software industry, including the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Extreme Programming (XP), thus resulting in a rapid, but comprehensive, delivery of business solutions. Unlike typical "waterfall" methods, and even a full-blown RUP process, our approach typically delivers business results in no more than six months.

Combined with aggressive project management and thorough business documentation, you can be assured of rapid delivery of quality custom deliverables, at a price that won't blow the budget.

Enterprise Application Integration

Given our breadth and depth of experience in enterprise application integration (EAI) technologies, we are able to assist you in architecting, developing and implementing software integration infrastructure, or "plumbing", to connect your enterprise applications together. As such, we are able to provide the following services in building EAI infrastructure in your organization:

EAI Architecture Custom EAI Adapter Construction Workflow and Business Rules Management and Implementation Web Services Architecture

EAI Messaging Infrastructure Implementation One-to-One Application Connectivity Data Aggregation, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) Services Web Services Implementation

If you are undertaking an EAI exercise, twoJ is able to assist in designing the appropriate EAI solution according to your individual business needs and then implementing it. Our EAI experience gives us a vendor-neutral view of the EAI space, giving us the ability to select the right tool for the right job. And when it comes to implementation, the twoJ team has worked with a number of EAI tools and platforms from vendors such as:

TIBCO Software WebMethods Microsoft BizTalk

IBM (Websphere / MQSeries) BEA WebLogic Vitria BusinessWare

Our core technology skills in this area include:

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) Java Messaging Service (JMS) Web Services (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and Microsoft .NET)

Java J2EE technologies Strong Java and C/C++ skills

EIP / EAP (Enterprise Information Portal /Enterprise Applications Portal)

Enterprises are now trying to bring to their employees the same user-friendly metaphor and powerful single-view of data and applications that were first popularized by portals such as Yahoo!. Enterprise portals empower employees by giving them a single customized page from which to access all the relevant data and tools they need to perform their jobs. The drawback is that enterprise portals are a complex undertaking which require rich software integration and usability skills in order to ensure that employees get a single-view of all the key information and applications they require.

With twoJ EAI and portal building skills, we can have your enterprise information portal up and running rapidly, giving employees an electronic workspace.

Business Intelligence / Data Mining

Organizations with disparate information systems often face an uphill task of consolidating or obtaining a single-view of information which is often critical for operations, management control, and marketing purposes. By building on a strong foundation of EAI, data aggregation and data warehousing, twoJ is able to help organizations take the next step and actually produce actionable business intelligence. The twoJ's approach enables organizations to enjoy additional returns on investments they have already made in information systems, without the need for complex and expensive ERP (enterprise resource planning) software.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

CRM is gaining in popularity due to the fact that it addresses a key component of an organization's existence: revenue. While CRM technology is desirable, it is often a complex undertaking for many organizations, typically bringing together the processes, people and applications from many different functional areas of the organization, including sales, marketing, customer service, production, logistics, etc.

In addition, organizations usually don't enjoy the luxury of having a gentler introduction to CRM, and instead find themselves having to spend tremendous amounts of money to get full-blown CRM packages. Worse, the features found in these packages are often under-utilized or unutilized, and thus the CRM project is often deemed a failure.

twoJ customized approach allows organizations to pick and choose CRM features most appropriate to their current needs and then invest in building on those features. This incremental approach allows organizations to jumpstart their CRM initiatives, with lowered risk and without the need to spend large amounts of money.
