The difference between software that works and software that scales is architecture. At GeneralSoft, we design systems that are built to handle growth, adapt to changing requirements, and integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise ecosystems. Our architecture practice is grounded in proven methodologies including TOGAF, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), and Clean Architecture.
Whether you are modernizing a legacy system, designing a new microservices platform, or building an enterprise integration layer, we bring the architectural discipline needed to ensure your technology investments deliver long-term value.
TOGAF and Zachman Framework-based enterprise architecture planning, including capability mapping and technology roadmaps.
Domain-driven microservices decomposition, API gateway patterns, service mesh, and container orchestration with Kubernetes.
Enterprise integration patterns, ESB design, event-driven architectures with Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Azure Integration Services.
Cloud-native architecture on Azure, AWS, and GCP with serverless, containers, and infrastructure-as-code.
Our architecture portfolio spans enterprise-scale integration platforms, healthcare exchanges, and cloud migration programs.
Implemented an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture involving Microsoft Dynamics, SQL Server 2005 (Integration Services, Reporting Services, OLAP/ADOMD.Net), BizTalk 2006 (Pipelines, EDI, Orchestration, Rule Engine), and SharePoint 2003/2007. The ESB connected multiple line-of-business systems with a unified messaging and orchestration layer.
Designed a Healthcare Exchange based on the Affordable Care Act ("Obama Care") initiative. Extended Dynamics CRM SDK with custom IFRAME forms using Xrm.Page/Xrm.Utility and Ribbon customization (RibbonDiffXml). Refactored and ported HIPAA 5010 implementations to BizTalk 2013. Created EDI Viewers for HTML5 and Windows Phone, and deployed document routing on Azure for EDI X12 transactions (837, 835, 834, 270). Implemented business rules based on geo-spatial criteria.
Managed TFS installation and configuration for a global law firm. Developed customizations for Elite 3E and IntApp integration. Improved configuration management and validated production artefacts. Refactored BizTalk solution for zero-touch deployment using ESB Toolkit 2.1/2.2. The integration connected multiple practice management, billing, and HR systems.
Refactored legacy BizTalk 2009 implementation to BizTalk 2013 R2 with ESB Toolkit 2.3 and Azure SDK 2.3. Built corporate store apps for Windows Phone and Windows RT. Set up Lab Management on Azure for automated test suites. Integrated Azure AD with on-premises AD and Exchange. The migration covered SAP, Oracle, Dynamics CRM, and SharePoint integration.
Common questions about our systems design and architecture services.
Microservices are beneficial when you have distinct business capabilities that need to scale independently, when you have multiple teams working on different parts of the system, or when you need to deploy changes to specific functions without affecting the entire application. For simpler systems, a well-structured monolith is often the better choice.
Yes. We produce comprehensive architecture documentation including system context diagrams, container diagrams, component models, sequence diagrams, and deployment architecture. We follow the C4 model for consistent, understandable documentation.
Absolutely. Legacy modernization is one of our core competencies. We assess your current architecture, identify modernization opportunities (rehost, replatform, refactor, or rebuild), and create a phased migration plan that minimizes business disruption.
