Custom Application Development

Thinking about a new application that will help you run your business more efficiently, but haven’t found exactly what you’re looking for out of the box?  Perhaps you are looking for a solution that you don’t have to maintain on your own servers with your already-stretched IT staff.  Amazon Web Services and Model Metrics may be your answer.

Model Metrics leverages Amazon Web Services, as well as other Cloud Computing platforms such as Force.com, to cost-effectively create custom applications meeting your exact specifications.  Amazon’s platform incorporates numerous toolsets that enable the development of applications to solve any business process challenge.  These toolsets include:

  • EC2, Elastic Cloud Computing.  EC2 is the engine that powers an AWS application and can rapidly scale up or down to handle peaks and valleys.
  • S3, or Simple Storage Service.  S3 can hold large amounts of data and can rapidly serve up that data (including streaming media) in a very cost effective manner.
  • SimpleDB – A Cloud based database that breaks some of the relational DB paradigms and can do some very interesting things and meet a variety of business needs.
  • E-Commerce – Amazon offers a variety of options to allow for simple or complex check-out processes and we can help you understand the options and integrate the right one into your application.
  • Mechanical Turk – We have utilized the Mechanical Turk web service to allow work that cannot be computerized to be easily sent out to 400,000+ workers to quickly perform a variety of tasks.
  • SQS (Simple Queue Service) – This service seems simple, but can be utilized in interesting ways to tie various processes together in a very scalable manner.

Your Possibilities

The power and flexibility of Amazon Web Services’ infrastructure enables you to automate almost any business process.  Whether you want to create a data quality maintenance tool, online payment vehicles integrated with your existing infrastructure, or a customer-facing media streaming application, Amazon Web Services and Model Metrics can create a world-class application for your organization.
