Overview
This technical appendix provides additional detail for technical
stakeholders evaluating FinMH Consulting’s capability to design,
modernize, and support business-critical applications.
The information below focuses on architecture, maintainability,
performance, security, and long-term operational stability.
Application Architecture
Applications are designed using a layered approach that
emphasizes separation of concerns and long-term maintainability.
- Presentation layer (UI / web interface)
- Application layer (business logic)
- Data access layer
- Integration / service layer
This structure supports easier maintenance, controlled change,
and clearer ownership across application components.
Supported Technology Stack
Application Platforms
Web Technologies
- HTML5 / CSS3
- JavaScript (including AJAX-based interactions)
- Bootstrap (responsive UI)
Databases
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle
- MySQL
Integration
- RESTful APIs
- System-to-system integrations
- Data exchange and synchronization
Development Practices
- Version-controlled source code
- Environment separation (development, testing, production)
- Incremental and testable changes
- Code written for readability and maintainability
- Documentation of critical workflows and dependencies
Development decisions prioritize clarity and long-term support
over short-term optimization.
Security Considerations
- Role-based access control where applicable
- Input validation and output encoding
- Protection against common web vulnerabilities
- Secure handling of credentials and sensitive data
- Alignment with PCI DSS principles where required
Security is approached as an ongoing responsibility rather
than a one-time configuration step.
Performance & Stability
- Query analysis and optimization
- Reduction of unnecessary resource usage
- Caching where appropriate
- Monitoring of recurring performance patterns
Performance improvements are made with an emphasis on predictability
and system stability rather than aggressive tuning.
Deployment & Operations
- Controlled deployment processes
- Rollback planning for production changes
- Clear separation of configuration and code
- Minimal disruption to active users
Long-Term Support & Maintenance
- Ongoing maintenance and issue resolution
- Knowledge continuity for long-lived systems
- Incremental improvements over time
- Documentation updates as systems evolve
Support engagements focus on responsible stewardship of systems
that organizations depend on daily.
