Custom Software Development
Who was your software written for? If your business runs pretty much like your competitors, you probably use the same tools they use. But if you’re an Innovator who gains an edge by redefining markets or creating new ones, software written for the herd probably isn’t a fit. You may pride yourself is your ability to compensate, but at what cost?
Your Business. Your Software. Your Way. We create solutions tailored to the specific way you run your business, without the bloat or limitations of off the shelf software. Leverage the valuable information you already have to improved your GAIN ratio. Let your staff focus on the Growth Activities, and leave Inescapable Necessities behind.
How We Work
We hate to write code by the hour. We work with you up front to define project deliverables before we begin. If our original engagement was to analyze you business processes, then of course we already have the right information. Our business analysts consult with our development team on how the overall project should be broken into manageable phases, and we produce a fixed quote for each phase. Of course some projects contain elements that can’t be quoted for a fixed cost, but our goal is to minimize the uncertainty.
We use web based tools almost exclusively. We find that web based software is far easier to manage. Use it from anywhere. Get the latest version instantly. Use any kind of computer you like. The benefits go on and on. In addition, we’re able to configure a pilot system early in the project to promote better communication as we finalize each phase.
Software for the long haul. As your business grows, your software will need to adapt to the changes. We use open source tools, which not only reduces a major cost but also allows seamless transition to another vendor should you become dissatisfied with our services. Of course we hope that never happens, but we don’t want you to feel trapped either.
