CIStems has deep experience in the art of crafting architecturally sound software solutions. We place great emphasis on developing solutions that not only meet the requirements but are also efficient, verifiable, maintainable, and extensible.

In order to create superior enterprise grade software solutions we have built expertise in the core areas that are applicable to most contemporary technology platforms of today.

• Object Oriented Paradigm. OO paradigm is now the nucleus of the architecture and design of most software solutions.
  
  
• Design Principles. Objected Oriented paradigm needs to be supported by appropriate design principles to ensure various quality attributes for software like maintainability and extensibility.
  
  
• Design Patterns. The software engineering community has over the years evolved and codified certain commonly used patterns for design. These patterns not only assist in developing software that conforms to design principles, but also help in communication within the engineering team.
  
  
• Test Driven Development. One of the desired attributes of a software solution is its verifiability. Test Driven Development ensures that the software is constructed based on a suit of tests that can be used to verify the correctness of software. An automated framework is used to verify the state of the software.

CIStems has constructed software solutions using a variety of platforms, technologies, and tools. The list below is representative of our experience with specific technology. However our forte is our ability to quickly learn and apply a new technology by mapping it onto the right conceptual framework.
