It is difficult to dispute that design is the single most important aspect of software application development. Lacking proper design, complex multi-tiered applications get mired down in repetitive and needless round-trips to the database; client software suffers from code bloat and interface component misuse; Web surfers find themselves unable to find and extract from a Web site the information they seek. Echosoft Design Studios provides insightful application architecture and development supported by a reverence for the art of design garnered over many combined years of professional software development and system architecture experience. Software architecture and documentation, team management, project lifecycle administration, quality assurance implementation, and systems distribution and maintenance all follow a set of basic principles and patterns on order to avoid common and known pitfalls, and to ensure a consistent and proven approach to the art of software development.
