Today's IT departments are being asked to serve multiple demanding roles in their
daily work: development, testing, technology migration, and training, to name just
few. Unfortunately, any increase in responsibilities placed on your department doesn't
always come with a larger staff. Many IT departments end up juggling too many projects
without enough resources. In a world driven daily by approaching delivery dates
that's simply dangerous.
Every IT department occasionally needs some help. Maybe you've been handed a new
initiative and you don't have the resources to manage it. Perhaps you're trying
to convince your company to invest in a systems upgrade, but need objective analysis
to support your conclusions. Whatever your need, MetaOption can help you assemble
the right team of people to find a solution and implement it immediately.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning is software that aims at serving as the backbone for an entire organization. It integrates key business and management processes to provide a sky-level view of much of what's going on in an organization. ERP tracks company financials, human resources data and (if applicable) all the manufacturing information such as where to put the inventory and when it needs to be taken from the parts warehouse to the shop floor.
The idea behind ERP is that the software needs to communicate across functions. With an ERP system, the financial software can cut accounts payable check as soon as the loading dock clerk confirms that the goods have been received in inventory. Similarly the accounts receivable module can generate an invoice as soon as the shipping clerk says the finished goods are on the truck to the customer. All this is done with a minimum of human intervention and paperwork.
ERP aims to replicate business processes (how to record a sale, how to verify hourly workers' paychecks) in software, guide the employees responsible for those processes step by step and automate as many procedures as desired.

Our Services
- Our unique four fold methodology aims at providing wholesome solutions to the technical
problems and needs of the companies.
These are designed to give you the perfect fit in the programs on Continuous Education
for technical teams of the software development organizations. This is the stage
where we invest and our client benefits. In the second stage we invest our resources
to conduct demos and time bound Proof of Concepts (POC) on the prospective solutions
to the requirements and problems of the clients. This results into investments by
the clients for the product solution. At the third stage as the client acquires
the product solution we enter into a partnership and here starts the process of
imparting the education and extending the consultancy on the solution by us. As
we move ahead together the partnership grows and the development of knowledge and
expertise of the client results into the building up of a Center of Excellence (COE)
at the Client end. This in-house COE is a dedicated division involved completely
in Research and Development activities. Solutions MetaOption is a specialist in
Microsoft technology and provides a broad range of software services including Application
and Systems level Programming on leading Technologies. MetaOption is adaptive to
latest software development systems. It has developed fruitful software solutions,
which are being successfully used by its client. The existing solutions are also
regularly upgraded as per the changes/up-gradation in the software technology, or
as required by the clients.
A variety of IT assets can be developed and reused to add value for future projects
and assist in additional architecture frameworks, including reference architectures,
patterns, frameworks, and components. These assets, often called work products or
artifacts, are the direct result of the development process. Other types of artifacts
that result from the software development life-cycle include requirement documents,
source code files, deployment descriptors, test cases or scripts, and others.
In most cases, these artifacts are not created from scratch. Instead they are typically
harvested from previous engagements or through open standards working groups, consortiums,
or external publications. Software development assets are typically anything that
can produce future economic benefit -- such as expediting the development process,
reaffirming design decisions, minimizing code development -- in constructing new
solutions and applications.
Components are the elements that compose most of an IT solution or application.
They are identifiable, differentiable, and autonomous elements that when combined,
provide business value within an IT solution. Components can be high-level elements
to represent function in architecture or more detailed programming elements to be
deployed in production.
An IT or software architecture is a coherent set of patterns, frameworks, and components
that guide the design of each aspect of a larger IT solution. A framework is typically
defined as a support structure in which solutions and applications can be organized
and developed. A framework includes support programs, code libraries, a scripting
language, or other artifacts to help develop and combine the different components
of a solution or application. Reference architecture is a proven architecture of
an IT solution that is considered by a company or an industry to address specific
needs to common problems. A reference architecture used by a company is typically
considered default architecture for solution development, unless business requirements
dictate otherwise. Best practices for assets and patterns are guidelines, based
on real-world experience that can help you solve business and technical problems.
MetaOption has thorough knowledge in all areas of software development from project
analysis through to implementation. Our experience with leading business solutions
such as CRM, CMS and Systems integration from leading vendors such as Microsoft
gives us a clear picture of the available solutions to your business problems; that
expertise, coupled with experience with the latest industry standards in business
processes, Web Services and XML technologies makes our products lasting solutions.
MetaOption software developers can also develop web or windows based development
components or customize an EBA Component to fit your exact system requirements.
Our experience using COM (C/C++), DHTML and .NET allow us to quickly develop components
for your software project to help accelerate your development efforts. Also, we
can work with you to optimize your current development project based on a component
strategy that will ultimately provide you with a faster development cycle, reusable
development effort, more reliable and higher performance software at lower overall
costs.
When it comes to testing, narrow focus or super-specialization of your testing service
provider just does not deliver optimal results. To be effective the testing service
provider has to have expertise across the whole gamut of testing methods and tools.
At MetaOption, we believe in this philosophy and hence have developed expertise
across the whole spectrum – ranging from manual testing to automated testing, from
GUI based testing to API Testing, from functional testing to performance testing.
This expertise enables us to create the most effective solution to meet our clients’
needs.
