Whatever your IT needs, whether it be a custom solution, a front-back office integration, implementation of information security, a CMS implementation or system integration, HintTech will provide you with a custom project solution based on its experience which offers a suitable lead time, budget and added value for your organisation.
HINTTECH DEVELOPMENT CENTER (HDC)
We develop, implement and manage large-scale software applications based on Java and .NET technology. The HDC offers development infrastructures with a standardised development environment and a high-tech infrastructure constantly set up for system development. Development is carried out in the HDC in accordance with your quality standards and within the budget agreed with you. With branches in Europe and the USA, the HDC can respond adequately to capacity issues and situations which require rapid support.
APPLICATION LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT (ALM)
The applications developed within the HDC can also be managed by the HDC. Maintenance and management are carried out by engineers and project managers who have been involved in developing the application. This means that the HDC manager is also the delivery manager for the products supplied. As a result, the customer can quickly change its wishes and requirements with regard to software development and service management. HintTech uses the ASL Framework for managing the application lifecycle. ASL offers not only a model, framework and terminology, but also best practices for practical application. Its aim is to ensure that the applications support the business processes optimally.
TOP-NOTCH PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We use proven methodologies such as Agile, RUP, Prince2 and IPMA for managing software and system development projects. This allows us to use the right specialists and methodologies, depending on the customer's requirements or the solution chosen. And after delivery of the project, we remain a reliable source of information for all questions that may arise during commissioning of the software.
Web applications
HintTech has extensive experience of designing and developing software applications for both the front office (e.g. internet or intranet) and the back office (e.g. middleware). To implement these, we use the IBM WebSphere suite or applications that use Microsoft .NET technology, such as SharePoint and BizTalk. Of course, everything depends entirely on your IT environment.
The scalability of web applications means that the application can gradually be expanded further in the future. So you avoid the risk of run-ning up against technological limitations in the future, and you can always integrate the application with your present and future back-office systems.
A coherent, transparent and verifiable policy with regard to People, Planet and Profit. HintTech aims to achieve valuable growth for all parties involved with the company.
HintTech has defined certain Corporate Values. These Values form our guideline when making choices, determine the framework for the way in which we do business, and are used to check behaviour. In this way everyone knows what HintTech stands for and where we can be and want to be called to account. The Values apply to all HintTech employees.
A company is as strong as the people who work for it. Success is a matter of people work, even in a highly technology-oriented company like HintTech. That makes respect for people a cornerstone of our policy. Education and training policy, employees' involvement in policy, an outstanding personal development plan, a competitive remuneration policy and the rejection of discrimination give concrete expression to our vision in this area.
Each HintTech employee is asked to complete a personal development plan, in consultation with his/her HintTech line manager. This plan contains a number of specific elements, such as personal goals, preferences and aspirations, direction of development and an action plan.
HintTech uses the "People Relationship Management (PRM)" method for its HRM policy. This method has now proved its value widely within the HintTech organisation. 90% of the workforce is certified in Prince 2, while soon all our project managers will be IPMA certified.
HintTech's specialists have frequent contact, individually and through the centres of expertise, with both suppliers of commercial and open source software applications and customers that develop packages further themselves.
HintTech specialists have a strong need for self-development. They are encouraged to do this in various ways, such as in-house or external training, forums, study trips, etc.
HintTech's Tridion, .NetTM and JavaTM specialists maintain frequent contact with the software suppliers' developers and architects to develop both themselves and the various software packages further.
