FireStar has created an application development services capability to help ensure successful adoption of its products by Service Providers. This capability includes:
- A FireStar solution development team that is experienced with FireStar’s products and the successful development of applications
- A body of reusable code designed to handle special situations
- The FireStar EdgeNode development methodology and experience successfully delivering EdgeNode solutions
The FireStar Rapid Application Development Services can be integrated into your best practices and development team to provide rapid implementation of an application meeting Service Provider-specified requirements using FireStar products.
FireStar works closely with Service Provider personnel who bring expertise in the requirements of the application and are ultimately responsible for its functional design, as well as its deployment and long-term maintenance.
The result for our Service Providers is a fast, cost-effective way to realize the benefits of an EdgeNode solution, especially the first application, that is lower risk, and offers faster time to solution.
The FireStar Reapid Application Development services available include one or more of the following, as required:
- Translate the functional design into an application design that efficiently utilizes its product set.
- Review functional design in light of issues of deployment, scalability, and maintenance.
- Implement the application
