Our staff has over twenty years in building, modifying, and operating enterprise software applications. Here is a sampling of what we can deliver for you:
System Analysis
is a general methodology to understand a system, its individual elements, and the interaction between those elements. Modern computer systems can be extremely complicated. Without a good understanding of the system, making changes to software can result in unexpected consequences. System Analysis is to software development what an architect’s blueprints are to construction.

Prototypes are essential for stakeholders to see their final product and provide a model for developers. This can avoid costly mistakes when the users and developers are not aligned. Better than simple drawings and wireframes, we can prototype designs faster than programmers can code.
Project Management
is essential to keep the software development process on track and on budget. It involves periodic validation of progress and reporting progress to management. Unlike construction of, say a bridge, software is intangible and progress cannot be easily seen. It is the job of a skilled project manager to provide visibility to the development process so that obstacles and roadblocks can be detected and resolved as quickly as possible.
