Mark Millman has a passion for building systemic solutions: compact foundations that serve as the basis for building large unique solutions for a large community of customers. Over the last six years Mizar has built a powerful framework that integrates the most advanced Oracle and Open Source technologies with a powerful but compact Mizar Framework. The Framework is designed to deliver customer specific, complex spatial database applications with a large common base that maximizes extensibility and minimizes maintenance.
Since 2004 Mizar has been focused on the development of enterprise targeted middle-tier multimedia/spatial applications leveraging the Oracle technology.
Over thirty years of experience has shown that the target client will be highly placed within a large government or corporate organization; they will seek to use reliable proven technology offered by a market-maker such as Oracle, SAP, IBM, Sun, or Microsoft; and they will want the enthusiastic support of the organizations IT group if not be the central IT organization itself. These projects, which serve the Enterprise rather than a single department, are more likely to provide both the project scale and the strategic purpose typical of our target client. They will involve not just the deliverable of a single task, but the creation of a relationship.
Almost without exception modern enterprise systems are being built as middle-tier or web based applications. Middle tier applications
The rush to middle-tier applications has happened even faster than the decade earlier rush to client-server technologies. It is the technology framework of both the present and the immediate future.
Because Oracle has the size, partner network, growth, technology leadership, complexity, enterprise orientation, and consulting rate structure that cannot be beat.
Multimedia embraces a wide scope of so-called unstructured data including documents, audio, video, images, and maps; with and without a spatial context. The management and integration of these new data forms is part of the specialist knowledge that Mizar uses to differentiate itself.
Enterprises seek to communicate with and involve stakeholders through web based applications. The strategic goal is to create a communication context: what the application does might be less important than the social web that it creates. While it was originally coined to describe the phenomena of television Marshall McLuhan's phrase "The medium is the message" applies especially well to the web. The middle-tier is more than just another place to display maps; it is an entirely new medium that demands a full range of experiential media.
