Technology Profile

At Vexigen we build systems using state-of-the-art technology and carefully select development languages, frameworks and supporting architecture to ensure that systems we engineer are robust, flexible, and can scale over time.

Specializing on a core set of tools and sticking to our time-tested engineering methodology allows our development teams to build systems rapidly and with a foundation that minimizes maintenance overhead down the line.

Below you can learn more about some of the technology we employ.

• Server-Side Technology

  A robust server-side technology stack is crucial to ensuring that your application can handle heavy lifting, and complex processes.

  We employ PHP (the most widely utilized internet language) and leverage well-known, reputable frameworks including Symfony and CakePHP in order to provide the foundation your systems need to carry out business functions.

• Front-End/User Interface

  Balancing functionality, simplicity, and aesthetics are essential to the user experience. This is especially true in the context of web-based enterprise software.

  Vexigen utilizes powerful U.I. libraries including jQuery, ExtJS and AngularJS to deliver rich interfaces with feature-rich components that enhance the user experience and allow systems to be utilized efficiently.

• Database & Web Services

  The large amounts of data inherent in business software requires the careful planning and engineering of data warehouses, as well as the web services necessary to expose them. Our experienced database engineers will plan and incorporate information storage mechanisms that reduce data redundancy, while maintaining high integrity, and performance.

  We leverage the full functionality of modern database systems like MySQL and ORM's such as Propel, and Doctrine to make sure your applications can conduct heavy data crunching, as well as information storage and retrieval with the greatest efficiency.

  Additionally, we can plan and implement data and systems integrations via XML and REST Web Services that facilitate communications with downstream systems.

• Cloud Architecture

  In the modern enterprise, the move towards cloud computing offers a host of benefits for businesses, but requires unique expertise and a fresh approach towards applications engineering that differs from traditional models.

  Virtualization technology and services such as Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud, Relational Database Service, and Simple Storage Service, allow organizations to deploy enterprise software on premium hardware, without the traditional costs and overhead associated with managing complex infrastructure.

  At Vexigen we are familiar with the latest cloud technology, and can architect software in a manner that leads to minimal hardware costs, provide high redundancy, and can easily scale over time.

• Code Versioning Systems

  In a globalized world where development teams are required to work in a manner that is often decentralized, and on features, fixes, and releases in an asynchronous manner, proper Code Versioning Systems are vital to maintaining efficiency in release cycles, and maximizing longevity from software systems.

  Vexigen employs Git as it's primary Code Versioning System to ensure that your software code is properly maintained, tracked, and can be worked on by multiple development teams simultaneously.

• System Modeling & Documentation

  In order to maximize the lifespan of software solutions, it is important to produce clear blueprints and documentation that clearly defines software features, systems architecture, data structure, and code layout and functionality. In doing so, organizations can ensure that new developers can be brought up to speed into a productive role with minimal downtime, and can also provide them with piece of mind knowing that system ownership can be transferred from one party to another should the need arise.

  Vexigen employs a rigorous practice of maintaining full system specifications including workflow diagrams, entity relationship diagrams, thorough code commenting, and API documentation that ensure the continuity and longevity of your software systems.
