When your business requires a customized software application, ETM will provide quality application design, development, test and “roll-out” services – through to production. Using our Enterprise Applications Systems Methodology (EASM), we work closely with our customers to define their business requirements and then model a plan to design, develop, test and implement the application. EASM provides a structured approach to application development by integrating the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) standards for system development, the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the client's application development methodology. We have expertise and experience with a variety of development tools which allow us to choose the best tools for the project. When your legacy applications need updating, ETM will provide code review, troubleshooting and application redesign services which further your business objectives.
