How factory model helps to onboard large number of apps in a scalable and faster manner?
Leveraging the factory model approach to on-boarding multiple apps could ensure successful integration of applications within a proven and repeatable framework.
What is a factory model?
Largely used in manufacturing assembly lines, the factory model approach is being increasingly applied in the software development process too, particularly in DevOps. Such as model focuses on creating a software development process that is massively scalable and standardized. At Avancer, we have extended the factory model approach to creating a proven, cost-effective, and agile process for onboarding a large number of applications for our client companies. We have developed a set of resources to quickly and constantly onboard applications by collaborating with the internal client team to understand their requirements, and implement applications through our automated process, influenced by the factory model approach. Such a standardized process ensures that a consistent and wider on-boarding of application could be undertaken, thereby, providing the entire process at a lower cost, with reduced effort and quicker turnaround time.

What is a factory model?
Such a model allows Avancer’s team to scale up the process of onboarding a large number of applications across numerous functions and domains. It enables companies to initiate digital transformation in a faster and efficient manner, along with reducing implementation costs. Further, such a technique helps in onboarding applications in a reliable manner, accelerating deployment, while improving access to data and providing significant functionalities.
How does the factory model work?
The basic premise of this model is creating a framework for onboarding applications with a factory approach for a more efficient and agile integration process.
This model uses the following process flow:
- Create an integration plan for designing, building and testing the integration process in an effective and predictable way.
- Define metrics and standardized processes to help integrate applications across all the domains in an enterprise.
- Deploy process that is proven over time for being highly reliable and cost-effective.
- Provide support to the internal client team with various skill sets and resources.
What are the benefits of the factory model?
Implementation of factory model ensures developing thorough expertise and deep knowledge about the subject matter. Further, focusing on the process repeatedly warrants the resources are more productive, effective, and responsible for the entire onboarding process, thus making the operation much more efficient. At Avancer, we synthesize leading industry trends and best-in-class solutions to onboard a large number of applications within a set deadline.
Some of the benefits of our factory model of operations include:
- Requirements as well as integration are all template-based
- The acceleration techniques are able to onboard applications at a faster pace
- Focused majorly towards deliverable
- Timing and cost for each integration is always provided upfront as well as guaranteed
- Reducing variability in implementation process, including quality, efficiency, consistent design, on-time delivery, increased reusability and proven flexibility
- Support cost is reduced since the upgrades provided are cost effective
- Using mix of resources with higher efficiencies and competitive pricing
- QA as well as integration testing price is included in order to fit into client environment
- Managing of resources is also undertaken
How is Avancer different?
Our experts at Avancer work on a wide variety of applications. Most companies that are not operating as per the factory model might have resources either owning multiple application onboarding processes that are dispersed or relating to one / handful of application/s. However, most companies have hundreds of applications as well as technologies, and onboarding them simultaneously might be a challenge if the factory model is not implemented. Avancer acts as an extended partner of the client to help integrate a large number of applications with the help of a template-based proven model.
Avancer has been able to successfully plan and onboard various large applications for client companies. We have consolidated the knowledge into a framework that allows us to align processes, people as well as technology. This helps in meeting the goals provided by the organization. The framework is inclusive of quick start assets for designs, patterns, and standards together with code templates for shortening delivery time.
