Software meets Business.

Our clients know their businesses. They know their goals. To insure we align with them, we want our clients intimately involved in the process, from design through test.

We know software lives in a dynamic world. Businesses change focus. New markets open. Old markets change. Or close.

Software must change along with it.

We also know something the others seem to forget: software changes tremendously during development. Priorities change. Deadlines and features change. A common scenario: after trying out their shiny new application, the client finds a "must-have" feature suddenly superfluous; or it solves the problem in the wrong way. Just as often, previously unconsidered features become absolutely critical.

Go ahead, tweak it.

The process we use is designed specifically to embrace change. It gets working software into your hands early. Often within a few days. These early deliveries do not have all the features of the final product, they do enable you to see your most desired features in action as early as possible. We know you'll want to tweak it. Adjust some behavior. Move some buttons around. Add a whole new set of actions.

We expect that. In fact, we look forward to it.

So when can we deliver?

It's been said, "Software is never late, we're just really bad at predicting when it arrives."

We're better at it.

One of the effects of embracing change as thoroughly as we do, is that delivery dates become fluid. Our process compensates for that in two ways:

Always delivering working product
Client visibility into remaining work

Those early deliveries serve another purpose -- you always have functioning software that implements your most desired features. By choosing the most mission critical features for the first deliverables, you get working software that implements those features early. If business dictates a deadline, you can make the an informed decision to deliver with a reduced feature set.

The second way we manage our delivery dates is by giving our clients frequent updates into remaining work. In every update, we estimate when we'll deliver each piece of remaining work. What's important here, is we pay attention to how well we've been hitting our previous estimates. By understanding that, we can refine the remaining estimates. This also gives our clients another tool to make a cost-benefit tradeoff decision, should a deadline loom.

How we know it's right (Or, Further reducing your risk)

The software you get from us isn't just the software you ordered. It also comes with a complete suite of tests. These tests serve several purposes. Two really important ones to our clients are:

They prove the software works, soup to nuts
They document the code

We write tests against all of our code. In fact, tests that evaluate a desired feature is often the first thing we write. And our tests run each and every time we change our code. We know when something is broken very early. We make sure it's fixed before adding any other features.

The other nice thing about these tests is they document to other programmers how to use the code. How to use each piece of it. The benefit to you: say your business has grown enough to bring in your own development staff. Those tests show the new team the hows and whys of the software. It serves as a roadmap on how to extend, support and maintain it.

We build relationships

We want to continue to do business with our clients. Their can-do attitudes and entrepreneurial spirits are engaging. We love to see them succeed. And we want to succeed with them. That how we drive our business.

You are the reason we are here.
