Software consulting

• Do you want to computerize your paper-based system, but don't know where to start?
• Are you losing customers because you don't have an up-to-date web site?
• Do you have a process that could be improved with software, but you're not sure how?

We can help. We'll come to your location, study your business processes, and recommend ways in which software can help you accomplish tasks faster, more efficiently, and more accurately.

Internet / Intranet / Ecommerce web application development

Whether you need a simple one-page web site to jump-start your online presence, or a complex database-driven intranet web application, we have the expertise to do it.

Our web sites target the latest HTML / XHTML / CSS standards to ensure maximum cross-browser compatibility and longest life span.

Do you want to sell products over the web? We'll get you set up and show you how to update your web site to reflect your latest inventory, or let us know and we'll update it for you.

Larger businesses can benefit from an internal web site - called an intranet - that is available to employees. You can empower your employees by giving them fast, convenient, and complete access to the data that drives your organization. Our browser-based solutions can present data based on an employee's security privileges, and upgrades are as simple as copying the updated files to the web server.

These are just a few of the ways we can help:

• We can create a new web site or update an existing one.
• We can build a timesheet application that allows employees to quickly enter their hours. The data is stored in a single database, and can be automatically imported into your payroll program or output to custom reports. No more messy hand-written timesheets!
• We can design online invoice, inventory, customers management system. You can manage your business from home as well.
• Create a web application to complete the missing functionality in your legacy system. We can write software that integrates with your existing system to provide seamless data flow to and from your new web application.

Custom software applications

We have a strong expertise developing leading edge quality software using the latest Microsoft technologies. We cover the complete life cycle, from gathering requirements by interviewing users, through architecting the database and software components, to intensive quality testing and the final implementation. We build products that users love to use!

We excel in projects with little or no specifications, or with specifications that are likely to change. Our focus is understanding what you want to do and then building the software to let you do it. We refine and enhance the software based on your feedback.

By leveraging the powerful capabilities of Microsoft .NET, we can build full-featured client applications in C# or Visual Basic.Net.

Custom reporting solutions

Is your data getting dusty hiding in a database? Make it work for you by letting us develop reports that show you trends in your business as they happen. We can build reports on any type of data: sales, inventory, payroll, and production charts are just a few possibilities.

Your reports can be scheduled to run automatically and emailed right to your inbox, posted to your web site, or saved to a file server.

We primarily use Access, Crystal Reports, and SQL Server Reporting Services to generate and schedule reports, but we can work with your existing reporting system as well.

Database development / data conversion / data warehousing

Moving to a new business system or just want to upgrade that Access database to , Oracel, MYSQL or SQL Server? We'll help you convert your data. In some cases you may want to take advantage of this opportunity to improve your data model - we can analyze your existing system and recommend ways to improve it, resulting in faster access, better data integrity, and easier maintainability in the future.

We can also help you set up a data warehouse for long-term data storage, including automatic generation of reports.
