Enterprise Software Development

Enterprise Software development services require a deep understanding of complex software systems. Typically, delivering an enterprise system involves not just an understanding of the system but also a vision to envisage future challenges. The challenges could be many, for instance, the system being developed is not secure, is not scalable, and is not developed considering many critical components such as SEO, Performance, Extensibility, Cost, etc.

Being a top Enterprise Software Development Company, Futuresoft has delivered complex enterprise systems over the past 35 years. We have a highly skilled team with the right mix of technical, managerial & architectural capabilities.

Comprehensive Architecture & Design

Every wonderful/amazing software system has a complex architecture which makes it easier and wonderful for end users. Architecture of such systems is complex because they are designed after considering best architectural practices and design patterns. Best architecture design involves planning multiple things such as:

Structuring of software code

It refers to segregation of code into various microservices & micro frontends. Further, it involves identification of correct design patterns such as Service Oriented Architecture, Event Driven/MVC Architecture.

Data Architecture

It involves understanding data of your customer and how it is going to change/grow with time and what kind of flexibility business may need while extending the system in future. This analysis early on would help in determination of database type i.e. SQL/No-SQL. Also, growth & scaling requirements of data, data sensitivity would help us determine how the data must be stored and what kind of services/DB engines should be used for storing/accessing the data.

Scalability

Knowing/planning your customer base now and how much it can grow in coming X years is extremely important. All businesses go through highs & lows. Enterprise systems need to be architected in such a way that they can scale up or scale down automatically depending on the customers accessing the system at any point of time. Procuring a larger infra, when there is no need for the same, would cost enterprises heavily. Going with smaller infra, when there is need to capture every single acquisition, may mean loss of business. Right solution is balanced Infrastructure to start with and then scale up/down automatically. Well architected systems let you meet this objective. FutureSoft has lot of expertise in delivering scalable solutions using AWS services such as ECS/EKS/Kubernetes etc.

Deployment Architecture

Planning a proper deployment architecture is extremely critical for any software system. A software system has various components such as Database, static files, dynamic code, libraries, APIs, media etc. All of these components need not be deployed on single server. For each component proper deployment architecture must be planned.

Example, media files & static files should be deployed on cloud storage and made accessible through CDN. Microservices can be containerized and run into independent containers. Databases can be deployed into managed DB services such as RDS/Aurora/Mongo. Frequently accessed data can be stored into caching services. Securing entire infrastructure from hackers through setting up firewalls and following best practices for security is critical.

In nutshell, structuring strategy of software code, DB, Scalability & deployment architectures must be planned ahead of project execution rather than while development is being done.

Seamless Integration

Most of the Enterprise Software Development services are dependent on in-house/3rd party systems to be relevant & useful for their target customers/users. Think about eCommerce, would it be possible to have an eCommerce system without integration with Payment/SMS gateway? Being an Enterprise Software Development Company, we need to talk to other systems for many reasons as each system presents unique challenge, for instance, focus of integration while connecting with payment gateways is security whereas focus of integration while connecting with SAP is licensing cost and with AI/ML services is Performance.

FutureSoft has extensive experience in delivering systems based on various integrations. Few significant ones are:

Payment Gateways

PayU, Razor Pay, Stripe, PayPal etc.

SMS Gateways & Notification Providers

Twilio and Gupshup for sending order confirmations, notifications, & updates.

SAP Integration

For Catalogue updates, Invoices & Inventory Updates.

Logistics Providers

For Order push & status checks with Ship Rocket & Delhivery.

ONDC Integration

We have extensive experience in creating seller apps and logistic apps for various domains. We have inhouse experts in Magento & Shopify who can easily establish integration between these systems (Magento & Shopify) and ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce).

AI/ML Integrations

AI/ML is the most trending strategy for enhancing business opportunities. Businesses can tremendously benefit by integrating AI solutions into their existing core systems. E-commerce systems can be enhanced by implementing AI based recommendations (based on ratings & reviews), providing instant support using chatbots, generating meaningful insights from the orders received/video testimonials, providing decision making using AI to control supply chain, providing Try On features for jewelry items such as rings and necklaces.With AI/ML, businesses have endless possibilities to enhance customer base.

Secure Architecture

Enterprises cannot afford to have weaker security. We at, FutureSoft, are well versed in implementing secure solutions. Our team has delivered many solutions which are VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) and GDPR/DPDP compliant.

Another important consideration while providing enterprise software development services is to ensure they are OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) compliant. This standard ensures web apps are safe from 10 important security risks (Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, SQL/XML/SCRIPT injection, Poor configuration of security settings, outdated versions of software or libraries, improper implementation of user authentication and session management, Data Integrity Failures, Insecure/Incomplete logging & monitoring, Server-Side Request Forgery).

In addition, we understand customer concerns for data privacy and have successfully delivered GDPR & DPDP compliant apps.

DevOps Practices

As an Enterprise Software Development Company, we understand that designing an enterprise system require great planning & very strong review mechanism. To have strong review mechanism, environment for developers, business owners and end customers should be different. For a large system, minimum three environments are critical for smooth operations, DEV environment (for developers), STAGING/UAT environment (for Business owners), PROD (for end customers).

Typically, development of an enterprise software system takes 36% effort of the overall effort to deliver the system. A significant chunk of remaining 64% effort goes towards provisioning & configurations of Infrastructure for various environments (DEV/STAGING/PROD), release preparation & deployment to these environments. These efforts can be significantly reduced by implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery. It involves setting of code versioning, packaging applications into containers, implementing orchestration of containers to ensure scalability, writing pipelines for various environments, automating these pipelines/testing for various environments using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, monitoring and logging using tools like Prometheus, Grafana.

FutureSoft team has a very strong team which understands DevOPS in depth and can help you in areas like Automate Infrastructure provisioning, Write & Automate CI/CD Pipelines, Implement Containerization & Orchestration of the containers, Implement monitoring/Logging & Data ingestion services.
