Solutions

GVPi offers a wide range of services relating to XML and other innovative technologies. Each of our major areas of focus is described below.

As an independent consultant, we have a broad base of experience with software technologies based on electronic document standards. Our range of integration services includes integration architecture assessments, electronic document integration designs, transaction mapping, testing, and rollout. We handle projects as small as single integrations and as large as the conversion of an entire content repository with full e-commerce solutions.

Many vendors would tell you that integration is easy and simple - their particular software product has all of the 'bells and whistles' to do the heavy lifting. We know from experience that this is rarely true. Let us help you minimize the effort of your implementation and avoid the mistakes which many have made.

Our mission is to help our clients through the difficulty of both back end data transformation and web implementation in the most efficient and economical manner.

Our software expertise includes all major packages, ranging from data transformation to enterprise search and integration tools. We have worked with virtually all data formats and emerging XML standards. If you are interested in maximizing your investment in e-commerce, for traditional web solutions or for integration with enterprise portals, marketplaces or websites, we can help. We have the experience and measured success to help you get positive results fast.

Our staff has decades of experience in designing SGML and XML publishing systems for applications ranging from policies and procedures and technical documentation publishing to scientific journals and textbooks. If you are using XML to re-purpose your data in print on CD-ROM, through the Internet or for wireless devices, we can help you develop the applications that get the most out of your information assets. We have experience with many of the most powerful document and knowledge-management systems in use today and can help you to build robust enterprise systems for your editorial and publication processes.

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is often hailed as the ‘standard' which will promote interoperability. It allows documents to go cross-platform and between applications while maintaining their expressive richness making them easy to process. However on its own, it is not enough. In order to realize the full potential that XML offers, it requires that there be standard semantics, which a receiving or sending application understands when it interacts with your own system.

We specialize in working with XML and related data exchange languages. We have dealt with many formats in the creation of CD-ROM and web applications such as enterprise, e-commerce and e-government solutions. Whether you are looking for someone to integrate your systems using your XML data store or to help your organization with expert advice on web design and working processes, we have the experience you need.

One of the major growth areas in XML standardization has been the field of metadata. Standards have emerged as the basis on which data can be collected, reported, and processed with a wealth of associated metadata. Whether you are a data repository that wants to provide greater visibility to your users, a publisher needing to develop more efficient reporting or data analytics, or a government agency purporting to aggregate data, we can help you find the right solutions for the job at hand and the right fit of technologies to both protect your existing investment and leverage the power of new technologies available to you.

Document processing is a term that has been developed to describe the entire technological phenomenon of markup languages and their related technologies. With the advent of the Internet and its use of HTML, a document-centric approach to application integration has grown ever more important. Web services are perhaps the latest development in this area.

Since the creation of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), an increasing emphasis has been placed on open standards as the basis for interoperability. Given a solid model of business processes and data requirements, implementation can be made consistent across any type of development environment. We are a strong advocate of this approach in order to maintain web applications easier and more cost-effectively, and we are at the forefront of data transformations and document processing. We can bring the latest and best techniques and solutions to bear on your technology problems.

Web services technology promises to transform the Internet into a platform for distributed computing, but it relies on a complex set of standard protocols and technologies. Despite the hype, every web services package does not support existing standards in the same way. If you are planning on leveraging the power of web services for your own applications, we can help you to understand which technologies best fit your requirements.

Our robust hosting center is based in Sterling VA. We support large web applications and data repositories with superior up-time and data management services. So whether you need help in systems or requirements analysis, design, development, testing or hosting, we can provide the expert assistance you need.

Whether you are a standards organization looking for expert guidance on creating or updating your XML or web solution, or a corporation seeking a qualified firm, we have the experience and knowledge to help you.

The creation of high-quality XML or web solution requires skills that go far beyond those needed to develop a schema or DTD for internal use. The demands of large-scale interoperability are uncompromising. We have a wealth of experience creating web solutions that are optimized for these applications. Our consultants and engineers have been active in developing and implementing solutions for large publishers, corporations, non-profit or government organizations for many years and will design a solution to fit your needs.
