Intralink utilized the V-model process to application development. This model is particularly suited to the often complex application designs and computer programming necessary for manufacturing and order processing systems. The model also fits nicely with ground up application development in health care due to HIPPA requirements throughout the code base.
Building scalable applications (And just what is scalable?)
We often hear that an application is scalable. But just what does that really mean in the real world? In plain English a scalable application can be made to fit the needs of your business as data, or the number of users using the application grows, without re-writing the application. But it goes a bit beyond that. A truly scalable application should cost you less initially. Then as the need builds for more horsepower, it can be added. Intralink may build your initial application with Windows Server 2003, and use Microsoft SQL express. As the your business grows, we can simply upgrade the SQL server version, or add licenses to increase the number of users and memory available to the application. Or, we could move to an enterprise version of SQL, and add much more hardware to increase response times, and increase availability.
