An RSF (a reference solution framework) is a show and tell approach to problem solving that guarantees implementation success as it encapsulates a strategic solution to a problem as a fully functional, implemented showcase. It is not a generic platform for a given industry or a vertical domain such as ERP or E-commerce but a custom solution to a specific problem.

In other words, it is a tailor made solution that addresses a particular problem such as How to offer Content as a Managed Service, or How to reduce Fraud Rate in Credit Card transactions? Our approach is to understand the problem domain by analysing the market trends, looking at the issues at hand, the problems to be solved and coming up with a strategy, a business model to solve the problem for good and then building a solution framework that proves that the solution strategy is successful through a live showcase.

Our RSFs are developed using open standards and modular components to give the flexibility of deploying a solution that is a mix of RSF components as well as some components that may already be in place at an enterprise. We enable our customers to make the buy-build-reuse-adapt decisions through a trade-off analysis process that is part of our How to Solve IT methodology resulting in shorter deployment cycles while leveraging existing investment. This proven methodology delivers a proof-of-principle prototype, Target Architecture and an implementation plan in 8 weeks starting from the RSF and mapping it into your current roles and workflows through an interactive approach. w
