Our software engineering process gathers and translates business requirements into feasible technology solutions that become reality with custom software development. Z Technologies software application development services deliver efficient and reliable custom software systems, including core business applications and back-office IT solutions.
We provide a full spectrum of custom software engineering services:
Architecture Consulting and Design
An application architecture strategy is required to sustain a competitive advantage when market demands change rapidly, creating a gap between business requirements and the IT infrastructure. Dynamic market conditions aren’t going to slow down any time soon and the applications architecture must agile enough to support legacy systems as well as new business capabilities.
Z Technologies provide architecture solutions that align with business objectives and growth strategies. We offer application architecture consulting services that span the entire software product life cycle from legacy systems maintenance to Cloud and Big Data technologies implementation, all backed by our unrivaled industry knowledge and technology expertise. Z Technologies architecture solutions deliver across-the-board improvements to reliability, maintenance and upgrade costs, performance, and scalability.
Software Development
Nothing affects the quality and achievement of critical business success factors in software as the processes used in the development stage. Application systems today have become so complex that it is no longer feasible to deliver a system using a big bang process. Quality control and the measurement of critical success factors must be applied continuously, with smaller efforts that are delivered frequently.
Z Technologies applies the principles of continuous integration (CI) and test-driven development (TDD) to ensure that your software initiatives are of the highest quality and will meet your business needs precisely. These processes do more than just ensure a high quality software product; they also keep development costs low by uncovering bugs or incorrect business requirements long before the software is deployed to production.
But it takes more than just knowledge of development processes and business-driven metrics to deploy a successful software initiative; it also requires a trained and experienced engineering team that can work on a wide variety of platforms, programming languages, databases, and software development technologies. Our engineers give you that technical edge. Z Technologies has delivered successful key business projects using the following technologies:

Performance Engineering
Application performance problems can have costly consequences, including diminished productivity, increased customer dissatisfaction, and loss of business growth opportunities. Avoiding these problems and ensuring that your systems meet the highest levels of performance requires more than just careful design, industry standard development practices, and thorough functional testing. Achieving high performance in software requires a planned effort throughout the product life cycle.
Software Quality Assurance and Testing
When business models and markets change faster than the applications that support them can be developed, software testing is often first to be cut from the budget or schedule despite the fact that software defects have a direct, negative impact on profitability. Even a small number of defects can have a catastrophic impact on a business, its customers, and its partners. It is estimated that a software defect found and fixed post-production costs 100 times more than if the defect was found in the design stage.
There are many benefits and fewer risks in having an independent software testing partner instead of in-house testing. Independent testers and test consultants bring a much-needed impartiality to the testing processes for better quality, and in-house personnel are freed up to focus on their core business activities. Independent testing brings with it the best-of-breed quality management processes, because that is their core business activity.
