When looking for a partner company to rely on for the software development, one aspect that should be paid attention to is the team. Having an overview of which are the professional figures who work in an IT company, what the Software Architects can be like, and what they do, is fundamental for the intended final result get. The risk, when the workforce is not sufficiently specialized, is the development of IT products that are customized but rather generic and not very specific.
Moreover, it must be said that it is not obvious to find the figure of a Software Architect in any IT company, although his importance is decidedly strategic. And that's why you should rely on a company like TreDiPi which operates in Pescara already in 2015, where it was born as Innovative Startup, it is a solution that brings enormous advantages given that its staff also includes this very important figure such as the Software Architect.
The latter's skills are multiple and essentially respond to two main areas of activity: listening to the customer and designing the information system. The correct design of a software that aspires to be defined as personalized must first pass through a phase of analysis of the specific needs of the customer, and only subsequently will we proceed with the design. Often, the two tasks are carried out by separate figures, and this can be a great limitation.
The Software Architect, however, is exactly the figure who deals with both of these aspects. It is no coincidence, then, that he will be one of the first figures with whom the software house customer will interface. Let's go into detail about his skills.
The starting premise is that each customer has specific needs and it is the task of the Software Architect to understand what they are and how to transform them into an IT product. Collection of information, understanding needs, interpretation of desires will be the first activities to be implemented. The aim is to arrive at the definition of a theoretical model that will provide the foundations for the subsequent phases of software development.
Before programming, the Software Architect will have to complete the theoretical framework by integrating what emerged from the analysis phase with more technical information. For example, it will have to formalize a model of business processes, to evaluate their correspondence to the technologies adopted and choose the best IT systems. Then he will have to document the functional and architectural specifications that the system must have. All this is what normally happens within TreDiPi of Pescara, an IT company that creates customized solutions with high technological content, such as to guarantee quality, reliability and stability, as required by business software.
But let's go back to the Software Architect. Once the listening phase is over, we proceed with the software development. You therefore enter a very technical area in which your specific skills are expressed to the highest degree. In fact, it is your choice of the development environment and the technological supports necessary for the project. It will have to develop perfect integration between the software components and hardware components possibly in use in the company customer and formalize all the characteristics that the system must have. This implies that the Software Architect's wealth of knowledge includes items such as databases, programming, architecture and hardware systems, telecommunications networks and web application models, knowledge of the most popular programming languages. The list is still very long but these few entries should be enough to understand that this is an essential figure when looking for an IT company. There is another aspect that helps to understand the importance of the presence of a Software Architect in a software house such as TreDiPi. And it is that of thetesting and modification phase. Once the software has been created for the client company, we proceed with the verification of all the processes that the software should satisfy and with the theoretical aspects that were defined during the analysis phase. It is quite normal that once created, a software requires checks and adjustments to be verified during its operation. This is also a competence of the Software Architect. A very meticulous phase of his work, made up of numerous tests whose aim is to identify bugs and malfunctions of all kinds. The ability to identify processes that need modifications for the product to be more effective is directly proportional to the quantity of tests that are performed, and therefore being able to have a competent figure in these aspects internally within the software house can make the difference with respect to the quality of the final product, the stability once it is put into full operation.
All the different aspects that we have analyzed in this short journey move in the same direction: guaranteeing its customers the best possible professional service. In Pescara it is possible to find in TreDiPi an excellent partner for a business software project of quality, precisely because of the attention that has been paid to building a team over the years made up of competent and reliable technicians.
