What We Do
We turn good ideas into great software products.
Maybe you have built an in-house web application and you want to turn it into a full-fledged public-facing application. Perhaps you have an idea for an ecommerce site, or for an iPhone app. Or maybe you have a tremendous amount of data you know could be put to good use by your customers, if only they had a way to access it.
Our approach is to enter into client engagements as early in the ideation process as possible. We'll help you determine which business needs will be served by the software; with clear goals you'll be able to better define metrics for success. Our iterative development process helps you identify key requirements up front, so you don't get bogged down in feature creep.
With the desired functionality defined, we'll help you pick the right technology. Cost, performance, maintainability, and longevity are all important factors, but their ratios vary depending on the project and the client. We're sensitive to this fact, and we're not here to prosletyze. We've worked on a wide variety of platforms over the years, and we stay on the cutting edge without going out onto the bleeding edge.
Examples of the Kind of Work We Do
- A hundred-year old business with a global salesforce needs cross-platform Adobe Flex software to perform precise technical calculations. These calculations can be performed offline on a laptop which delivers stunning visual reports, then automatically synced to a server for the latest updates. This saves the corporate IT department time and resources, provides up to date salesforce statistics back to management, and gives in the field sales personnel the flexibility they need.
- An online company with an established news site needs to move from a complex and unwieldy hosting and maintenenance environment to a more easily maintained and extensible structure. This serves as the springboard for the addition of powerful new multimedia and widgets, which extend the reach and effectiveness of the site. This in turn makes the site's ad space more compelling to advertisers, boosting the company's bottom line.
- An established business to business company that has been online for several years wants to streamline its interaction with clients. Repetitive tasks currently handled by the company can be automated in a way that saves time and money for clients while reducing overhead costs for the business. As the new online system becomes a more important part of the company's day to day business, more capabilities can be added, extending the benefits to the business and its customers.
- Competitors are introducing apps to the iPhone App Store, so the online arm of an established brick and mortar organization needs to leverage its existing online presence to create a compelling, untiitive, and highly functional iPhone app. Just as important is getting the application noticed in the crowded App Store. With clever marketing and superior performance, the app knocks the competition aside and establishes the company as a leader in applying new technology.
Those are just a few examples of how we help our clients turn ideas into software products. Got an idea for a product? Give us a call or send an email. We'd love to discuss it with you.
