Application Development
The development of extensible, scalable, bulletproof applications that deliver competitive advantage is Xiphoid Inc’s core competency. Our expert team of architects, programmers, project managers, systems administrators, database developers, and quality assurance analysts has built custom solutions for firms ranging in size from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.
Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence solutions harness online analytical processing (OLAP), data mining, extract, transformation, and load (ETL) tools, data warehousing, and reporting functionality to unleash opportunities to improve customer service, control costs, maximize profits, and make better decisions faster. These solutions enable organizations to aggregate data from multiple sources, build and manage an enterprise data warehouse, and make sophisticated yet straightforward analysis tools available to all employees.
Many companies generate and store large amounts of information on a daily basis, including customer, sales transaction, and financial data. Often, however, the knowledge available in this data is trapped in inaccessible or non-integrated “data islands.” The key to powerful Business Intelligence solutions is to identify the right sets of data and transform them into knowledge about what is happening in your organization right now. This insight translates to competitive advantage for your organization.
Enterprise Application Integration
Corporate IT trends over the past several years have led to a proliferation of systems, applications, and platforms that don't necessarily "talk" to one another. We focus on integrating processes and systems through real-time information sharing utilizing the computing world standards of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and SOAP (Single Object Access Protocol). If your company has ever been interested in tighter integration of its processes and systems, now is the time and Xiphoid Inc can help. Contact us for more information.
Security Solutions
Security is on everyone’s mind these days. Is my network secure? Are there holes in my infrastructure? How do I protect my data? What should I be concerned about? Who can I trust to help me?

Our security assessment offerings are reasonably priced and will provide you a thorough analysis of your network security.
