What We Do
While many enterprise solutions tout seamless integration and quick deployment, they rarely address the cost, time, and complexity associated with these tasks. Handshake Software not only enables enterprise solutions to accomplish these tasks quickly, but provides user views that span multiple lines-of-business and enterprise applications. This unique viewpoint offers a single, complete understanding of organizational knowledge.
Handshake Software also delivers contextual, individualized views that pivot data around the scope of user requirements while honoring individual security schemas of all enterprise and line-of-business applications involved. We effectively deliver enterprise knowledge management by replacing historically reactive processes with a proactive contextual knowledge delivery system for users in their work environments. Our Relationship Framework and the architecture it creates support this concept.
A Product Solutions Company
Handshake Software is a product solutions company that is dedicated to producing unique products that provide extensive value for our clients. We offer a suite of products to resolve most integration and knowledge acquisition problems inherent in enterprise applications today.
We understand products, product development, and how to build supportable and sustainable products that are distributed and supported worldwide. We constantly reinvest in re-development to take advantage of newer technologies and techniques. Most importantly we believe that if a tool is more complicated than the task it must execute that it will not add value to your processes. At Handshake Software, we insist on adding real value to your organization, not vague promises and pipe dreams. Ultimately, it is our clients who make up our best sales tool and we are happy to provide references upon request.
Integrate Once, Re-Use Many Times
The Handshake Software team is focused on solving fundamental problems while integrating disparate systems without a data warehouse. Our approach includes a Relationship Framework that make it easy for us as well as our clients to build and maintain the integration without our clients requiring deep programming experience. By exposing our architecture into Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Information Bridge Framework, and Microsoft SQL Reporting Services, our clients get tremendous value through this unique tactic — integrate once, re-use many times for different presentation layers.
Increasing ROI with Handshake Software
Handshake Software clientele cites real examples of increased ROI in IT via:
Reduced time: Handshake Software can dramatically reduce the time to deploy a Microsoft SharePoint Portal system by easily integrating content from line-of-business applications. For law firms, Handshake already provides integration for the major systems including Elite, Juris, Aderant, Hummingbird, Interwoven, InterAction, Javelan, Keystone, Lawbase, and many others.
Reduced complexity: Handshake Software’s approach does not require .Net programming skills. The ‘heavy lifting’ is all performed by the Relationship Toolkit and Architecture – not by complex integration programs you have to maintain.
Reduced risk: Because Handshake Software encapsulates all of the knowledge of the integration in an easily understood Handshake Relationship Toolkit, you are not dependent upon individual programmers or consultants to understand your integration. In addition, by reducing the time required for integration, Handshake Software reduces the risk associated with building a proof of concept.
Increased production: The outcome of reduced time to deploy, complexity to integrate, and reduced risk is work environments that truly empower the organization to accomplish goals and generate results faster and more efficiently than ever before!
