You can take advantage of emerging technologies and also extend the life of your legacy systems and access their critical data – through the use of large-scale client/server applications and data management systems and software. Critical to successful implementation of such a database or application development project is the right business analysis, project management as well as technical expertise. Ascent has years of experience in building complete database and application solutions of all types.

We provide a complete suite of services in the business applications domain. Specializing on multiple verticals including finance and banking, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail and distribution and service industries, we provide end-to-end solutions for consulting, building and implementing applications.

Developing and ultimately managing business-critical applications and databases requires in-depth administration capabilities and integration across a diverse, distributed environment. Any downtime of key business systems for communications, processing, order entry or customer service has a negative impact on business.

Ascent does the complete job. We manage all aspects of the application life cycle. This includes project analysis, process definition, implementation planning, life cycle model customization, integration with existing tools, implementation, security, scheduling and performance management.

Traditionally, application support has been thought of as a low-level concern that doesn't need to be addressed until the application is complete. At Ascent, we see it a bit differently. Our experience has shown that a proactive, well-designed support program is a critical and integral part of ensuring the long-term success of an application. Accordingly, we plan for support during the design and development phase of a project, ensuring that the application is introduced into a viable support environment. And finally we monitor the new solution to ensure high availability and optimal performance.

Today's distributed application environment includes servers, databases, desktops, networks, Intranets, Extranets and the Internet. Ascent Computing can provide a broad range of IT applications solutions and services to address all of these areas. Our experience and solutions include the following and more
