Open Source
Open source development is a type of software development in which source code is made publically available and other developers are encouraged to contribute to the project’s creation. Most software development projects are kept private and others do not have access to the source code, but open source development is the complete opposite. With open source development, the code is hosted publically and developers can download the code, add their own changes to it, and then upload it back to the community.
Why would you want to make your source code publically available? There are many reasons some companies choose this route. Some of the biggest benefits of open source projects are reduced cost for companies and increased product support. Most open source projects are distributed for free, but they still require upkeep and ongoing maintenance to ensure they continue to provide a positive user experience and are functioning correctly. This continuous maintenance normally costs money for ongoing development time. However, by following the open source model, the code can be made public and an outside community of developers can contribute and support the project to keep things running smoothly. It also opens the project up to lots of potential new ideas that the original development team may not have thought of.
While this development model may not be ideal for all projects, here at Xfinion we will listen to your needs and recommend the best solution that is perfect for you. If you are leaning toward the open source route, we would be happy to discuss further to go over all the pros and cons of an open source project. Whether you would like enhancements made to existing open source code, or you would like a brand new open source application created, here at Xfinion we have a team of talented software engineers and designers who are ready to help.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Web” tab_id=”55bb18cb-c869-5″][vc_column_text]
Web
Most major websites follow the standardized format and recommendations to provide a positive user experience. However, there is a more powerful option than just developing a typical website, and that is to develop a web application. Web applications and web services provide a similar feel to desktop based Windows applications that we’re all used to, but host them on the internet where users can access them around the world.
If you want innovative and powerful solutions to support and enhance your business processes, Xfinion has a team of talented engineers that can design and implement secure web-based applications that can be configured to meet corporate needs for both internet and company intranet environments. Using advanced technology recommended processes, our teams at Xfinion can develop the most cost effective and efficient solution for all your business needs.
At Xfinion we use a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to creating web applications and web service products which meet our customers’ needs for cost, schedule, and risk. Our designers and developers continuously research the latest technology and available software tools to apply the most efficient and cost-effective approach that fits within the needs of each unique customer.
Our Xfinion team members possess an extensive background in web and mobile technologies, graphic design, software engineering, database engineering, networking, computer and information security skills. To accomplish our goals, our teams use an agile approach which guides each client through an interactive development process with small iterations of product versions that are released along the way.
We optimize our system integration capability by offering skills that include software, systems and enterprise architecture, software and hardware engineering, interface protocols, and general problem solving.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Mobile” tab_id=”1540546744546-2-7″][vc_column_text]
Mobile
At Xfinion, we have skilled and trained developers who specialize in developing applications and websites for mobile platforms. Whether you’re looking to optimize your website for mobile devices, create a brand new mobile website, or build a mobile application, Xfinion can provide services to meet any of these needs.
WHY CONSIDER MOBILE?
We no longer live in a time where users only rely on their computers to access the internet. Nowadays, users depend heavily on their mobile devices to browse websites and search the internet, and they expect to be able to find the information they are looking for quickly and with ease. By considering mobile devices when promoting your brand, your customers will not only appreciate what you’ve done, but they will also be more likely to access your website even when they are away from their desks.
MOBILE WEBSITES VS. STANDARD WEBSITES
While most standard websites can be accessed on a mobile web browser, the user experience is definitely not the same. When a user stumbles across a website that has not been optimized for mobile devices, they are likely to become frustrated as the content on the page will be extremely small, and they will find themselves having to pinch and zoom and move the page around to find what they’re looking for. This will most likely result in the user not wanting to return to that website again. How can this be prevented? The answer is simple…by letting us optimize your website for mobile devices, we can ensure when a user visits your website on any mobile device, they will experience a responsive version of your website that is not only user friendly, but also focuses on the key aspects of your website that will be most valuable to them when they are on-the-go.
MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Nowadays, more and more businesses are creating mobile applications to promote their brand, instead of solely focusing on a mobile website. By creating a mobile application, you can utilize key components of a user’s device to create a truly immersive experience that could never be accomplished with just a mobile website. Mobile applications also give users direct access to your company right from their device’s app screen, and can be designed to use local data at times when no internet connection is available. At Xfinion, our mobile developers can create a mobile application that best suits your company’s needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to create native applications, such as those specifically built and optimized for Android, iPhone, or a Windows phone, or cross-platform applications that run on a variety of devices, Xfinion will be able to deliver an application that will exceed your expectations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Cloud” tab_id=”1540547547957-3-5″][vc_column_text]
Cloud
“If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.”
Marc Benioff CEO of Salesforce.com
Cloud computing has been a buzzword for a long time now, but many people are still unclear about what the cloud is, or what the benefits and challenges are of moving to it. Just as Bob Olwig of World Wide Technology, Inc. said, “Ask ten people what the cloud is, and you will receive 11 answers.” Even in cases where the benefits are clear, deciding when and how to implement your company’s cloud strategy is still a major challenge.
As technology develops, the way we do business must adapt as well. The technological progression of telephone systems went from the invention of the telephone to the development of manual exchanges. Thanks to the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958, the industry was able to move on to making automatic branch exchanges that did the work of connecting calls. So just as exchanges moved from being manually operated to being automatic, the cloud has brought with it the next logical step in the progression for modern computing.

Big Data
“The world is one big data problem.”
With the explosion of data collection across industries and companies worldwide, using Big Data for enhanced decision-making, discovering insights, and optimizing processes is the next generation of competitive advantage. And with exabytes of data being generated and collected on a daily basis, the time to extract value from this data is today more than ever.

Training
Our work doesn’t end once an application is finished being developed. Although designing and developing an application that meets our customers’ expectations is our top priority, it’s also important that our customers understand the best way to use the products we create. We don’t ever want our customers to feel like a product was just thrown at them without any guidance for how it works. This is why we also provide training to our customers to show them how a finished product works and how to use it correctly.
Our goal is to make sure that our customers are comfortable with using the products we create. We also want them to feel reassured knowing that we will be here with them every step of the way. That is why we not only provide training upon completion of an application, but we are also available to provide follow-up training whenever needed. This may include training for future product updates, or even to train new staff members hired by our customers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
