ensures proper allocation of resources. For large engagements, we employ the Rational
Unified Process (RUP©) methodology.
Custom Solution Development
Westwater helps clients extend the capabilities of existing systems or create new
business solutions to enhance productivity and profitability. Our application development
process starts with a thorough analysis of client requirements to ensure consistent,
timely, and high-quality delivery.
Our application development teams deliver in all major development standards including:
AJAX, Microsoft .NET, Java, Ruby, K/KDB, C++, PHP under Windows/Linux and Electronic
Document Management Systems/Reporting Systems including Crystal Reports and Stellenet.
Advanced Technology Services
Over time, complex real-world IT environments can develop inefficiencies as they
integrate new technologies and evolve with changing business requirements. This
results in excessive maintenance and support costs and introduces technical vulnerabilities.
Westwater has the expertise to make recommendations and implement change to improve
the cost-efficiency and reliability of IT infrastructure.
