Technical Research

With the increase in functionality of new generation products comes an increase in complexity raising many questions for IT managers and implementers. Extensive research often has to be carried out before the decision can be made to implement a new system. Issues such as impact analysis, cost analysis, functionality analysis, return on investment and support requirements all need to be determined in the context of the target environment before the success of a new system can be guaranteed. 

Marcorp adds value to its products and services by understanding how each client's business works in order to provide a sound framework for the environments and the circumstances under which these will be utilized. Furthermore, with our extensive background and experience in a wide variety of products and industries we can provide customized research to aid companies in making the right decisions regarding the technologies they implement.

Technology Integration

The implementation and management of IT is becoming more complex on a daily basis. Although there is a commitment to open standards within the IT industry, this has not yet reached fruition and clients need to be sure that the solutions they buy today are able to integrate into their environment. When systems aren't inherently able to integrate with the existing environment, additional solutions specifically designed to integrate the products may be required. These solutions involve researching both the new technology and the target environment and in many cases may require the reverse engineering of one or more of the products.

Systems Analysis & Design

Analysis and Design is arguably the most important function of systems development, but is often neglected or overlooked entirely. This usually results in systems which are developed over budget and which diverge from the user's requirements. We have a tried and tested design methodology which has been used for many years to minimize, and usually eliminate, coding pitfalls, miscommunication and problems associated with scope creep. The depth of analysis & design experience in the company also enables us to provide solutions which conform to our company's high standards of quality, stability, compatibility and cost-effectiveness.
