Our Solutions Portfolio

 

The Solutions portfolio of adhoc Intl. reflects the vision of the company: being the solution partner of all actors in the organization when it comes to IT Performance Management.

As IT is more and more application-centric adhoc’s initial solutions practice has covered the engineering layer through whole application (platform) life cycle.


The Solutions Packs BUILD, MEASURE and MANAGE are the illustrations of adhoc Performance Engineering Process (APEP), the first measurement-based and life cycle methodology to assure application performance.

 

The need of application, platform and operations architects to industrialize Performance Engineering into the existing development, testing and operations platforms was behind the development by adhoc Intl. of reusable and proven architecture and process elements and patterns.
Performance-aware development, test factories and Service-Oriented Unified Monitoring Architecture are the key solutions models of adhoc’s Architecture Practice for Development, Test and Operations. With this practice adhoc’s addressed scope in BUILD, MEASURE and MANAGE has been extended to cover deeper architecture, development, testing and operations management.

 

 

Consulting services are dedicated to comprehensive IT Performance Management solutions, from the Engineering to the Governance. Our approach covers the complete application lifecycle, from the Requirements, Analysis, and architecture design, through load and performance testing and to the monitoring in production.
Our objective is to support our customers in increasing the maturity and efficiency of their organization and teams. Our approach considers Industry reference models in terms of Engineering, APM and Service Management such as agile methodologies, APM Gartner Model and ITIL with our large real world experience in more than 1000 projects.

  

Build – Performance Requirements, Architecture, Continuous Integration and Performance for the Agility age: at each level - code, architecture, technology or process - adhoc International consultants and experts bring the missing piece to your teams in terms of Performance analysis and optimization. The Performance-aware Software, and/or Test Factory, are Models that may be used as starting elements and references in order to structure, guide and accelerate the solution design and delivery for the customer.

Measure – Performance Testing, Agile Test Factory and Web Application Audit for the Cloud Generation: systematic load modeling, key performance indicators design, load generation and application instrumentation, and analysis combining agile processes, technologies and proven expertise, represent our most popular offer. With over 600 load and performance testing projects and several thousands of load testing executions, adhoc International is probably the most mature and experienced provider of Performance Testing services on the market.


The agile “Performance Test as a Service” offer based on our internal Load Testing Cloud and Technology introduced in 2010 offers the customer a high flexibility in planning and ordering performance testing or benchmarking of their web applications combined with saving high costs and efforts often needed to set-up and maintain their own load testing platform and specialists.

 

Manage – E2E Application and Service Monitoring, Diagnose and Analytics for Physical and Virtualized environments:
APM is becoming one of the corner stones in the modern Application-centric IT Operations Management. The APM Expertise and Integration that consists in the selection, architecture, engineering and the roll-out of the APM technologies adapted to the customer context, is the key MANAGE offer of adhoc International.

The Performance and Capacity Management in virtualized and cloud environment based on the Service-oriented Unified Monitoring Architecture, Automation and Self-Learning Technologies, is another key competence of adhoc Intl. for IT operations.

 

Governance – APM Maturity, ROI assessments, Roadmap and Coaching for evolving IT Organizations:
The life-cycle integration of Performance Engineering and the re-design of IT Operations Management around APM, require dedicated leadership, organization and process structures. The Maturity and/or ROI Assessment of the Performance Management and Monitoring in place are recommended starting actions for a mid and long term Performance Governance initiative or Strategy. Process, organization, competencies, skills and technologies review and enhancements programs are key elements in the scope of such strategy.
