Software Development

Application Development

Software products available in the market are often the most chosen solution for common business requirements, however sometimes there is no package available that fits to your requirements which run your business. If available, the customizations required will spoil the actual design and lead to bad performance and scalability issues. A simple advance in technology or change in customer preferences and many number of such factors can render your current applications unsuitable for the business challenges you encounter.

When you are facing such situation, you will require a partner who can understand the technical and business challenges you face and ensure success with an approach that is reliable, in your budget, within your time consideration and of high quality.

Application Maintenance

Unicorn Software Solutions wide range of application maintenance services ensures ongoing maintenance and support for your applications, thus improving their value and effectiveness towards your business goals. We ensure that enterprise systems are up and running at optimum capacities and are totally defect free. Our goal is to earn your trust by providing you with maintenance services and capabilities that meet or exceed your expectations at every turn.

Problems faced by business units

A software application is productive to the business unit only while it functions absolutely perfectly, and is up to date with the latest functionalities of its business needs. Any abnormality or downtime for critical software applications can lead to dissatisfied customers. In turn that will make the employees less productive and the business not realizing its potential revenues. Companies are increasingly spending more on application maintenance than on actual development or procurement of applications. In fact, recent studies indicate that technology companies spend as much as 70% of their IT budgets on the maintenance of software and on corrective activities. Application maintenance costs will be outpacing the IT budget and reducing the business units ability to fund for core business activities or new systems. Operational challenges are consuming much of the time and attention. IT departments might not be able to effectively update the application with up to date business requirements.

Application Maintenance Methodology

We combine best practices for change management coupled with project, risk, release and deployment management processes. This grouping of inter-related functions is used to manage the origination of an incident, (fault, change request or issue) through remediation, testing and deployment into the production environment. The resulting benefit for our customer is that changes to your application are prioritized and released on a predictable schedule and that the resulting application is stable. We follow a well-defined and scalable maintenance process to ensure that the focus is as much on preventive maintenance as on corrective support.

Application Security

Unicorn’s Application Security Solution establishes a continuous process that ensures security verification and remediation tasks are not only deployed across every stage of the SDLC, but also ingrained into the team's workflow.

Out-of-the-box support for key security standards and initiatives

Delivers an instant assessment of compliance to:

  • PCI DSS
  • OWASP
  • CWE/SANS
  • NIST SAMATE

Facilitate issue remediation, not just issue detection

Each issue detected is prioritized, automatically correlated to the developer who introduced it, then distributed to his or her IDE with direct links to the problematic code and a description of how to remediate it. Eventually, developers start writing more secure code as a matter of habit.

Extensive, centralized reporting

Our centralized reporting system provides real-time visibility into overall security status and processes, documents improvements, and helps you determine what additional actions are needed to safeguard security.

Policy establishment, application, and monitoring

Unicorn's policy-based approach establishes the organization's expectations for quality, leverages an automated infrastructure to ensure consistent, unobtrusive policy application, and automatically monitors policy compliance for visibility and auditability.

Easy policy configuration

The extensive, continually-expanding knowledge base of rules can be easily customized (graphically, without coding) to enable automated monitoring of custom best practices. The result is more realistic and accurate validation that is aligned with the team's security priorities.

Integration into the workflow and across the SDLC

Unicorn establishes a continuous security process that ensures compliance tasks begin early and are deployed across every stage of the SDLC, as recommended by the PCI DSS. We've learned that even the best tool eventually becomes shelf ware if it is not integrated into a sustainable process. To ensure that the security process remains on track and does not disrupt project progress, Unicorn ingrains compliance tasks into the team's existing workflow and automates them so team members can focus on tasks that truly require human intelligence.
