"...let us Shoulder the burden."

ShouldersCorp helps its clients design, develop and deploy commercial applications using the Internet. We are not in business to build electronic brochures. We design major applications, which use pre-existing systems and databases. We develop an implementation plan to progressively roll out deeper and broader functionality for our clients.

While we know how to use new technologies like Java and XML, we build our own tools, allowing us to generate operational thin client screens without writing a single line of new code. We don't hard code business rules, workflow and screen templates into the applications we build. We use a set of frameworks that we have developed based upon nearly twenty years of experience building commercial object-oriented products and applications.

In some cases, we have helped clients re-architect the heart of their business COBOL applications and developed an implementation plan which provides needed functionality quickly and complete decommissioning in a few years.

Clients tell us they "could never have built applications with so much capability in so little time." One client recently told us he "became more impressed every month with the robustness of the product" we built for his company.

Most ShouldersCorp projects result in the rollout of a new application in 100 business days. Let us Shoulder the burden of your large-scale eDevelopment project.

Pillars of Strength

ShouldersCorp has built enterprise scale application development frameworks and tools which leverage contemporary programming languages, large system development experiences, networks and state of the art, thin-client architectures.

Our development environment includes the following convenient, user-friendly software assets that serve as tools and frameworks:

SC Producer™ A single repository to store requirements, screen definitions, field validation code (in JavaScript), business rules, graphical screen templates (in HTML), a data dictionary, the business object model, field labels, and help documentation. All text can be stored in multiple natural languages. Using this information, screens are dynamically generated using XML and HTML. More...

SC Expediter™ To connect applications it is often necessary to build knowledge of the structure of one application into another. As multiple applications develop it becomes increasingly expensive to make changes due to this ripple effect. The SC Expediter solves the problem in a powerful and efficient manner. A user simply requests a defined data element (which may actually reside in a database or in a business object in another application), the SC Expediter knows (from prior experience) exactly where the data element can be found and retrieves it very quickly. More...

SC Core™ The SC Producer and SC Expediter need a powerful set of business objects capable of persisting themselves in a commercial RDBMS and which can be easily extended to solve a particular business problem. ShouldersCorp has more than 100 Java classes which are thoroughly tested and documented. More...

SC Navigator™ The business logic (which describes how a person performing a particular role within a company accomplishes work) should not be embedded throughout the source code. The SC Navigator is a graphical tool, which allows for the dynamic, on-the-fly modification of screen navigation logic based upon the role of the user. More...

SC Connector™ The SC Expediter assumes a modern object-oriented application needs data from another modern object oriented application or contemporary database. Often legacy systems and databases exist to which a connection must be constructed. The SC Connector is just such a framework. We can efficiently parse flat files and transform the data into the required form consumable by an object-oriented application. The SC Connector framework includes parsers, transformers, and validators. More...

SC Regulator™ Business applications have to comply with a remarkable variety of business rules, some generated by corporations, regulatory groups, and governments. The SC Regulator allows these rules to be written external to applications. The big win comes when clients use the same business rules for multiple applications. So if data is entered via a set of graphical screens, business rules can be enforced using the same rules that would be used for a set of batch loaders. More...
