Cutting Edge Analytics

Web Application Development – Consulting & Advisory

Modern enterprise applications and user interfaces are increasingly developed as web applications. Modern browsers and HTML / Javascript standards provide all features that tradionally were only possible with desktop applications, and de-facto all enterprise applications today are of a multi-user and distributed nature. This ensures scalability, robustness, future-proofing, and removes the need to install and configure applications on each workstation.

Xcelerit provides consulting and advisory services to help clients deploy modern state-of-the-art full-stack web applications. Xcelerit experts have successfully delivered web applications for a number of tier 1 investment banks, using technologies such as Angular, Docker, microservices, RESTful APIs, databases, cloud technologies, and more. Existing calculation engines can be easily integrated as backend services, either in-house or vendor-based. Legacy front-ends, such as desktop applications or Excel interfaces, can be replaced by the browser. Xcelerit team has developed a unique workflow to help clients moving their applications to the modern web, respecting usability, performance, security, and scalability requirements.
