Overview of Key Services

Quality Assurance and Testing

One of the most important functions in information technology is a leading focus area at Everest. Our Quality Assurance and Testing team thrives on the challenge of thoroughly testing systems, finding innovative uses for current technology to create efficient testing solutions. Everest QA personnel are masters of their specialty. They are experts in manual and automated testing for projects of various sizes, and use a variety of third party testing tools. Because of the wealth of experience we have in this specialty alone, we have been able to partner with our clients on several projects, allowing them to re-assign their internal staff to other project areas such as analysis, design or development, while they remain fully confident in our team’s ability to deliver a completely vetted project that’s ready to run.

Web Strategy Planning and Development

A growing division in recent years within Everest has been web-based application development. As the use of internet and intranet applications has grown, so has our expertise in this area. We have helped our clients devise optimal e-commerce strategies to gain competitive advantages that are necessary in today’s high-tech marketplace. We have designed, developed, tested and deployed web-based applications of various levels of complexity that have ranged from simple database driven sites to more sophisticated and integrated back-end and front-end solutions. Our competitive advantage lies in our knowledge of tools, technologies and platforms that are leading-edge, robust and scalable. We have extensive experience with internet and intranet security implementations on Unix, Linux and Windows platforms.

Systems Development

Our flexible approach, combined with our solid understanding of many system design methodologies, focuses on defining and aligning business requirements to create optimal system designs. This allows us to meet aggressive development schedules without compromising business requirements or system quality. Everest consultants have a solid system architecture design and development background on a variety of client-server and large scale backend systems across various industries. We have experience in working on a number of different platforms including Mainframes, VAX/VMS, Unix, Linux and various Windows platforms. Our skills span most programming languages, development tools and platforms, middleware and database platforms. In addition to this we have also acquired a vast amount of experience in the areas of mobile computing, handheld, wireless and embedded systems development.

Database Administration

Database Administration is one of our leading specialties. Everest assists clients with production support of dozens of databases on multiple platforms. These databases have ranged from several hundred megabytes on Windows NT to several terabytes on Unix servers. Our database analysts are experienced data modelers, well-versed in the latest data management techniques and tools and get the results our clients need - efficiently and effectively. Everest database administrators take pride in maintaining optimally tuned databases as they work with leading administration and optimization tools.

System Administration

Our clients depend on our system administrators to play a key role in keeping their system performance within expected parameters. Everest consultants are top systems professionals, able to work on most platforms, including Windows NT, Windows 2000, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and Linux. Managing multiple servers on multiple platforms requires more than just technical skill - it requires an administrator who understands what has to be done, and who can work with the client to develop a framework for allocating resources that lets users work efficiently. This workload and capacity management is a trademark of our highly experienced system administrators. Our administrators have customized scripts that they use to monitor the systems, but are also experienced with vendor and third party system management tools.

Web Application Security

Web-based applications pose unique security challenges to businesses. The internet has opened an entirely new channel for commerce, and presents both immense opportunities and tremendous threats. Web site security must be impenetrable, incorporating best practices at both the network level and the application level. Everest Technologies can design, develop and implement secure web-based applications. Our knowledge of technologies, protocols, vulnerabilities and attacks allows us to help our clients understand security-related issues. It also allows us to anticipate and eliminate vulnerabilities in web-based applications and services. Everest Technologies has worked with several clients on a variety of hardware and development platforms to create secure solutions.
