What is enterprise application development?
Enterprise application development is the design and build of custom software for large organizations' internal operations, such as workflow, case management, operations, field service, compliance and reporting applications. Enterprise applications must handle many users and roles, integrate with ERP, CRM, content and identity systems, meet security and audit requirements and stay maintainable for many years. TechTiera builds enterprise applications in .NET, Java, Node.js and Python on cloud or on-premises infrastructure.

How TechTiera approaches enterprise application development
What makes enterprise applications different
| Requirement | How TechTiera handles it |
|---|---|
| Many roles and permissions | Role and attribute-based access designed with business owners and enforced in the API, not only the screen |
| Integration with core systems | APIs and events agreed early, with one system of record for each data item |
| Audit and compliance | Every change logged with who, what and when; validation documentation for GxP and similar regimes |
| Long life | Clean architecture, automated tests and documentation so new developers can maintain it |
Regulated industries
