About AXON Plus

The AXON Plus platform comprises a set of software components designed to facilitate the integration of technologies and heterogeneous systems, and enable the development and deployment of modern Web-based applications based on industry best practices.

Our suite of applications was developed during many years of research and development and has been tested on several occasions in large-scale projects. It includes particularly the best technological components in the open source market and our own specialized components, the whole of which is integrated into a coherent, powerful, and scalable platform, compatible with the J2EE standard and services oriented architecture (SOA).

About AXON

Our mission is to help our clients develop and modernize their enterprise systems so that they can improve their productivity, optimize their business processes, and transact electronically with their customers, suppliers, and partners.

Founded in 1998 under the name Modésys Informatique, Inc., AXON is a leader in the integration and the modernization of legacy systems as well as the development of Web business applications.

We support a culture of partnership with our customers, we value their past investments in IT, and we help them to develop, integrate, and transform their systems into Web business solutions within a service oriented architecture (SOA), so that they can quickly meet the needs of a changing marketplace.

The AXON team has been a forerunner and, for several years, been applying concepts which are recognized today by the industry as a whole: architectures and SOA transformation, EAI integration, etc. We do more than master these concepts; we actually translate them into a reality for our customers.
