ArchitectNow is a custom software development firm based out of St. Louis, MO. They specialize in helping customers design, build, and launch rich web and mobile applications across a variety of industries. In a recent interview with Cosmic JS, ArchitectNow principal Kevin Grossnicklaus explains the direction heâs leading his firm:
âAt ArchitectNow our tech stack and areas of focus have changed dramatically over the course of the last 10 years. The industry drives a lot of that and the capabilities of our team drives some of it. Right now, we are heavily into Angular, TypeScript, ASP.NET Core/C#, Xamarin, MongoDB, all things Azure. The great thing about a smaller development shop like ours is that we get the opportunity to work with a ton of languages and platforms.We also get to utilize 3rd party components and APIs (such as Cosmic JS) in a number of scenarios. This gives us the ability to pick and choose the best platform and tools for a given project. Weâve hit a lot of homeruns in our choice of technologies and 3rd party tools but weâve also used some we wouldnât recommend. A key benefit we bring to our customers is the knowledge of what weâve found that âworksâ and what doesnât.â
Recently ArchitectNow partnered with VendorSurf to implement a powerful mortgage industry vendor search engine. As with many of ArchitectNowâs custom applications, the project team quickly identified the need for the customer to manage specific types of content for use in the application. Rather than custom build a pseudo-content management system (as they have done many times in the past) they quickly leveraged Cosmic JS to provide VendorSurf with the ability to self-manage their own dynamic content.
The ArchitectNow development team was able to quickly integrate the Cosmic JS functionality into their own rich Angular application thanks to the easy-to-use Cosmic JS JavaScript library. They also tightly integrated the VendorSurf server-side API and back-office infrastructure (written in .NET and hosted within Microsoftâs Azure environment) with Cosmic JS via the Cosmic JS REST APIâs. By being able to integrate both directly from the browser (via JavaScript) as well as from the server (via REST) the ArchitectNow team was able to provide VendorSurf with a streamline workflow for managing custom content.
âArchitectNow is already planning on how to leverage Cosmic JS to help future customers streamline the management of their custom content while still leveraging the benefits of a fully custom-built software application.â
