Company

binaere bauten gmbh is a consulting firm specialized in software architecture and IT enterprise architecture.

Our domain is professional software engineering. Our competence is based on highly qualified staff with years of experience.

Our customers include renowned companies from the insurance, energy, geodata, real estate, trade and logistics, and media sectors as well as various IT service providers.

We also have tried and true expertise in the following disciplines:

IT enterprise architecture

The efficient interaction of various software products in heterogeneous IT landscapes requires not only a conscientious conception, but also intensive support in the implementation phases and operation - regardless of whether the task is to design a new target system or increase the degree of integration in an existing system.

SOA security

Distributed systems place higher demands on security concepts than do traditional projects and IT systems. Appropriate solution patterns are available based on the concept of the security token, along with established protocols and standards. The key to success - that is, security at a reasonable cost - is technology know-how and experience in establishing control processes.

Software architecture

The quality of an application architecture often does not manifest itself until it is time to implement extensions, or when the development team adds or switches personnel. Future-oriented software architecture guarantees life cycles of in-house developments that are not characterized by constantly recurring re-design projects.

Model-driven software development and process optimization

As always when automation replaces manual activities, enormous improvements in quality can be achieved at the same time as cost reductions. Model-driven, generative software development also yields this benefit, although it does not make sense to implement generative techniques in all areas of a project. As a pioneer of such technologies, co-developer and constant user of the corresponding tools, we ensure that we are skilled in the project-relevant application of code generation and aspire to nothing else.

Development of tailored software

It is generally accepted that supporting Your company's core processes through a tailored IT solution remains a unique, uncontested selling point in a competitive market. On Your behalf we can control the entire process from requirement analysis over conception, implementation and automated tests, all the way to roll-out. Currently the results are generally desktop-like browser applications based on frameworks like Apache Wicket or the Google Web Toolkit.

The field of architecture is alive and kicking. New regulations, globalization and the extended enterprise make the need for architectural thinking and acting even more evident than it already was. With this increasing need for architecture the need for the exchange of ideas, best practices, research and methods among architects is growing too.

Although started as an initiative within the Netherlands, the magazine should reach all those interested in the area of architecture, where-ever they live. Via Nova Architectura aims to provide an accessible platform for the architecture community. It is meant to be the primary source of information for architects in the field.

The Web site was launched as a project to keep track of what was going on within the IT industry - specifically, within the virtualization space. Virtualization is a subject that I have been interested in and involved with since around 1999. My interest in the subject started when I began using VMware Workstation and Connectix virtualization products at home. This interest helped spawn a successful career that allowed me to leverage my expertise in the virtualization space. Early on, I was able to work closely with VMware software engineers as they designed VMware ESX Server. Using ESX Server while in its Alpha stage, the endless possibilities of what server virtualization could do and accomplish quickly became obvious. And so embarked a career that allowed me to help implement a number of virtualization solutions for numerous Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies.
