Schafer’s Mobility Solutions Sector (Asynchrony) is focused on application development, mobile computing, systems and sensor integration, enterprise architecture, and tactical collaboration. Asynchrony delivers solutions ranging from back-end government middleware to front-end applications and full-scale, commercial Cloud infrastructures. Asynchrony is comprised of highly-motivated experts focused on developing well-designed, usable software backed by hard-core tech and engineering whose mission is to create high-impact software solutions.

Our capabilities are comprised of:

MOBILITY SOLUTIONS

Mobility

The main challenge for enterprises is to simply figure out how to integrate mobile devices into their current business processes and IT systems. Asynchrony helps companies define and create the building blocks of their corporate mobile strategy. We then develop custom apps that securely integrate with legacy systems and business processes.

Software Development

Today’s technology and business environments change so fast that solutions created by software projects can be obsolete by the time they’re delivered. Asynchrony’s software development capabilities are driven through ongoing customer involvement that spans the entire project lifecycle. Utilizing agile software development techniques, we continuously deliver working software throughout the entire life of a project.

Architecture & Integration

Asynchrony takes an iterative approach to Enterprise Architecture, prioritized by evolving business needs and technical requirements. Instead of year-long project plans, weekly iterations allow architecture to emerge through a series of small increments. This approach results in usable architectural artifacts that are delivered rapidly and frequently.

MOBILITY SOLUTIONS

Agile Transformation & Training

Asynchrony offers a comprehensive agile transformation program that provides technical training, coaching and mentoring, and supports the integration of the new methodology into the entire Enterprise. Our program is based on over a decade of successful agile software delivery supporting Enterprise (portfolio) level and program (multi-team) level transformations in commercial, non-profit and government organizations.

UX & Design

Asynchrony has a dedicated team of designers and front-end engineers to ensure all delivered applications exceed customer expectations. The team’s focus is to deliver a user experience (UX) at a high-level of excellence to each and every project. In order to accomplish this, the Asynchrony UX Team focuses primarily in the areas of core competencies, human factors, agile process and brand + marketing.

Tactical Collaboration

On-demand communication and access to pertinent information is essential to both warfighters and civilian response teams, even when at the network edge or off-grid. Asynchrony has been architecting and developing tactical collaboration tools that meet the Warfighters’ challenging networking and security requirements for more than a decade.
