J2EE
To keep pace with technologies and their impact on how business is conducted, Orchid has a Java Center of Excellence (COE). The COE is focused on implementing the most optimal J2EE technologies, architectures, and frameworks to provide best-of-breed solutions and services to our customers. Several SMEs aligned to each customer engagement form the COE and are continually trained in the latest technology and practices. This ensures we provide the best technical solutions to the challenging, complex, and evolving business needs of our customers. The COE also focuses on sharing best practices and creating reusable components that can be leveraged across different engagements.

Processes
Orchid’s COE prides itself on using industry-standard and proven project execution methodologies and processes. We focus primarily on using RUP to address the evolving needs of our customers. We align RUP along with our QMS (quality management system) processes and project tracking via Mercury IT Governance Center (formerly Kintana) to offer our customers complete transparency and visibility while the project is being executed. This enables better project control and minimizes risks to avoid last minute surprises.
The J2EE COE also adopts customer processes, if so desired, to effectively address specific project execution needs.

Through the use of our resources in India, and a blended team approach, we can deliver significant cost savings for development of new applications or migration of old systems, whilst maintaining the highest quality.
