Businesses require fast, easy access to dynamic enterprise data, both through corporate intranets and the public internet. This is no small feat, considering the range of data sources and data types found in most enterprises, but it’s a crucial capability, because interactive data access drives web applications – that deliver the information you need to maximize the potential of your business.
Just Ant has a very active perspective on how application architectures should be created by developing component-based application development models for the web. It is best to apply an integrated approach to this task, employing business solutions that meet the broadest spectrum of needs – from supply-chain to consumer.
We offer software re-engineering, migration and deployment, using optimal technologies and system planning on a wide variety of platforms.

To retain legacy business logic from client/server applications inherent in companies, organizations will have to web-enable existing applications. With the advent of dynamic e-business, valuable legacy applications that support essential business processes in enterprises, can join this new area of distributed computing.
The goal is to streamline business processes by allowing software applications to be delivered over the internet and run across all kinds of computers, from large servers to handheld devices.
In order to enable legacy applications to participate in dynamic e-business, we need to apply web service technologies, which will allow the services to define a set of technologies that exposes business functionality over the web – as a set of automated interfaces. These automated interfaces allow businesses to discover and bind to interfaces at run-time, minimizing the amount of static preparation that is needed by other integration technologies.
In short – a web service is a method of making various applications communicate with each other automatically over the internet.
Once the applications have been technically adapted, the business processes are likely to evolve to a more automated business process with reduced human intervention.
With operating system vendors agreeing on how to use more-advanced web standards, various services that use competing software applications will ultimately allow companies to automate their business processes and exchange information with each other in a standard way.
This will eliminate the need for loads of development on the part of corporate programmers, to get their systems to link to those from other companies.
Just Ant Software convert or port client/server applications into web-based online applications, resulting in a huge saving for companies.

Projects are handled by Project Managers and development is divided into phases and events for adequate project management when developing new applications.
Project Managers consult with the client and make an initial assessment of specifications and requirements of any project.
COMPRSA evaluates web development proposals using specific criteria for budget approval. For projects to be approved and given highest priority, web development projects must meet at least one of the following criteria.
- Support business objectives
- Produce significant cost savings for the company
- Have major benefits
- Have high public relations impact
- Be extremely time-sensitive
- Be covered by the budget
- Not have insurmountable technical or logistical problems
Stringent software testing means that your software meets its defined or standardized quality specifications. Our experienced team of testers will ensure that the desired quality measures are met within the software development life cycle (SDLC).
We generally follow testing procedures that coincide with the current development phase of a project, but our QA testing teams are experienced in both waterfall and agile development/testing environments.
- Planning: QA participation along with developers
- Execution: Preparing test environments, completing tests and determining test results
- Evaluation: Comparing the actual test outcome with the expected results – established from requirements set out
- Regression: Full retesting of previously working functions after new development additions
- Incremental: Testing of new or additional functionality that was added
- Smoke Testing: Checking basic functionality of application
- Sanity Testing: Checking certain components or functionality after minor change has been made
- System Testing: Performed after integration testing – focus on security, load/stress testing and if required installation testing
- Acceptance Testing: Alpha, Beta, Staging and Production
Selenium, Coded UI (UIMap and CUITe framework) and Microsoft Test Manager – as well as popular IDE’s such as Visual Studio and Eclipse – are some of the testing tools we use.
Even though automation testing can be implemented, basic principles of QA will still be maintained.
- Automate tests using the built in record/playback feature according to functional specification
- Execute automated tests
- Perform error logging and reporting
- Create automated tests while utilizing built in UImap

Being an effective implementation consultant requires deep product knowledge coupled with real world experience.
Just Ant's consultants have many years of experience in implementing systems and they assist your clients with transfer of knowledge to the customer.
Our implementation consultants work directly with the customer and are dedicated to the project. The amount of time they spend with the customer is determined by the customer’s needs and tends to be more initially and less over time as the customer acquires knowledge through a mentoring process.
Through this process, the customer takes ownership of the system and can be self sufficient.
