AQUIFER
Aquifer® is an out-of-the-box application framework for secure, Web-enabled, multi-platform applications. It implements application and data security that exceeds military and commercial standards. Built entirely on Web services, AquiferŽ provides developers with a simplified, clear path to implement applications in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). New and legacy applications inherit Aquifer's adaptability and scalability creating immediate value for the end user or client. Using Aquifer, developers accelerate the creation, conversion, deployment, and maintenance of next generation, Internet-ready, multi-tiered business applications.
Aquifer® is the only solution that offers a migration pathway for legacy applications to move into a Web services environment. Aquifer's unique architecture includes the capability to support smart clients, occasionally connected clients, thin clients, and mobile clients tightly integrated with a secure application server, software development kit/migration tool, and Web Service components - and - all the necessary management utilities. It can be used to rapidly re-deploy existing client/server systems and desktop applications as secure Web-enabled smart client systems as well as adapt existing (legacy) Windows applications to a Web services environment without modifying user interfaces.
This commitment prompted SMEI to upgrade its AquiferŽ Web Services Foundation to Microsoft's .NET technology. Over the last five years, SMEI has used AquiferŽ as a productivity enhancing platform on which to deliver high quality systems for fixed price, time-sensitive contracts and avoid the risks typically associated with client/server middle-tier development efforts. AquiferŽ helps SMEI reduce development time, manage the deployment of applications across the Internet to desktops around the world, and implement military grade security (DITSCAP approved) on all systems where it is deployed.
Aquifer® is a service-oriented application solution that delivers rich, efficient and secure Web applications to the desktop without using a browser. It is used to build, deploy and manage applications on a foundation that distributes the execution of business logic (and rich user experiences) to the desktop and management services to a Web services based server. AquiferŽ technology validates the Gartner Group assessment that "Microsoft's .NET Internet platform strategy will lead a resurgence in rich-client application deployment, resulting in a hybrid approach that shares code between the client and middle-tier application servers" (Gartner Group, 2002).
Based on it's strong technical foundation, SMEI has developed, implemented and fielded advanced data management applications, Internet server technology and Geo-based Information Systems. These systems currently support over 2000 Department of Defense seats. They represent the application of cutting edge, web-based technology and the combined operation of custom and off-the-shelf software that unites dissimilar databases into an integrated system.
SMEI has been nominated for the prestigious Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award for developing and implementing a DoD intranet-based asset management system to support the Navy Facilities Engineering Command worldwide. SMEI is also the recipient of Washington Technology's Fast 50 award for 2003. SMEI's current annual growth rate exceeds 80% with substantial expansion in both federal and private sector markets.
