Application design

The design of a system’s architecture is both the most difficult and the most critical activity in development projects.  The wrong decisions can make for brittle, unstable and vulnerable applications, and translate into tremendous costs down the line. Yet endless analysis is no better. Effective architectural design requires experience, innovation and pragmatism in equal measure. 

EzGov’s architects understand this. Having designed and built some of the largest and most complex web solutions in the public sector, our technicians know how to model effective candidate architectures, and how to analyse system behaviour and refine the architecture as development begins. Clients turn to us for design help because they know our architects possess maturity, vision, and a depth of experience that allows for grasping issues quickly and making educated, critical judgement in the absence of complete information.

Our architects bring a combination of attributes to design projects.

• Experience not just in the software engineering domain but also in the unique problem domain of the public sector.
• Leadership to drive the technical effort across teams, to make critical decisions under pressure, and to make those decisions stick.
• Communication to earn trust, persuade, motivate, and to mentor. The software architect is not an authoritarian; s/he can lead only with the respect and consent of the project.
