Ruby on Rails Consultancy
Ruby on Rails is an exciting new way to develop applications for the web that is rapidly being adopted by forward thinking organisations.
"It is impossible not to notice Ruby on Rails. It has had a huge effect both in and outside the Ruby community. Rails has become a standard to which even well-established tools are comparing themselves to."
Martin Fowler, Author of Refactoring, PoEAA, XP Explained
Savantis are fast becoming a recognised Ruby on Rails (RoR) specialist in the North East of England. Having undergone extensive research, over the last 15 months, into comparing Ruby on Rails with other web development offerings we chose RoR for its unique approach and speed of development (and hence cheaper costs to ourselves and our clients).
We are now building a portfolio of RoR implementations for satisfied clients. We contribute regularly to the Ruby on Rails user group in Newcastle and will be hosting the user group website in the near future.
Savantis can offer RoR in the following forms:
1. Complete outsourcing. Your RoR project designed, built and delivered by Savantis.
2. Advise and assistance on how best to implement and use this innovative technology. Including:-
- Installation and Configuration
- Integration with the development tools(Eclipse, Radrails)
- Rails Application Deployment(Capistrano)
- Versioning Control(Subversion)
- Server Integration(Apache, Lighttpd, etc)
- Database Integration(MySQL, Postgres, etc)
- Interoperability with other associated Open Source technologies
Ruby on Rails Development
Savantis conduct technical reviews every 2 months to assess the latest IT tools and development techniques. This helps us to deliver cutting edge bespoke IT systems. The IT industry is very dynamic and it is easy to get left behind. As a technology company we understand that a continual exposure to new knowledge is vital in providing better services to our customers.
"Ruby on Rails is a breakthrough in lowering the barriers of entry to programming. Powerful web applications that formerly might have taken weeks or months to develop can be produced in a matter of days."
Tim O'Reilly, Founder of O'Reilly Media
Ruby on Rails was chosen as one of our topics for a technical review recently and we were very impressed in what it had to offer. It encourages software development practices like TDD(Test Driven Development) and using the MVC(Model View Controller) architecture which we beleive are important practices in the software development lifecycle. What this means to you is that your application is delivered on time, in budget, to specification and to your expectations. Part of our technical review was to to compare some popular frameworks to re-develop our website. We found Ruby on Rails to be the best choice not only for reduced development time but because our developers are following proven practices it makes them happier and more productive. If you are interested in Ruby on Rails and want to see what important people in the technology industry have said about it please visit the official website which also contains links to other companies who have had websites or systems developed using the framework.
This website you are using now was developed using Ruby on Rails and we currently have a number of websites being developed for customers using the framework, more to follow later but you can view an online demonstration of Savantis using open source tools to create rich web systems at a lower cost. You can also view examples of Ajax which allows for the devlopment of rich web user interfaces.
