Professional Services

Since 1992, we've used the simple slogan:   “Your Computer Can Do What You Want!”™

Does your computer “do what you want?” Do you feel that your computer is doing all that it could do for you and your business, as efficiently as possible?

We can help.

“Front-Office Survival” Services:

Do you feel like your company's main computers have delivered a train-load of information to your front office, that you must now somehow unload and make use of by hand?   A company's most-difficult data processing work often happens in the front office, using rudimentary tools such as spreadsheets.   We can help you do this work much more efficiently, by helping you optimize those front-office processes and to use your existing software to its fullest potential.   (Read more...)

Analysis Services:

“What does it actually do?” “How does it actually work?” “What will happen if we make this change?” These are real-world questions with inescapable, real-money consequences. Our analysis services provide you with the objective information that you need to be able to implement changes and new initiatives with accuracy and confidence.   (Read more...)

Instructional Design:

A software product can never be called “successful” unless real people actually know how to use it in their daily professional lives. We have years of experience developing practical, customized training materials.   (Read more...)

Software Product Design:

It takes a lot more than just “knowing how to write code in this-or-that programming language” to successfully create a commercial-grade software product and live to tell about it. Many projects fail to achieve their objectives simply because the designers did not possess both the depth and the breadth of experience necessary to anticipate all of the ancillary requirements, and to forsee the obstacles that lay hidden in their path. We can help.   (Read more...)

Project Planning:

Even though it's fashionable to say that computer projects should be un-planned (i.e. “agile” or “extreme”), we know that such (non-)strategies just don't work. Let's face it:   if your project isn't “working out according to plan,” maybe the real problem is that you just don't have one, or enough of one. We can help.   (Read more...)

Goals Assessment:

Computer technology is transforming itself at an amazing pace. That can mean great opportunity for your business, or it can mean that you need to change your directions and focus. But how do you know if you're really getting objective answers, if the person you're talking to is a salesman, or just angling to add a new technology to his or her resume at your expense? We can help.   (Read more...)

Business Intelligence:

You've got records; lots of records. They stretch back over many years and they say many things, both profound and mundane. But what are they telling you now? If “history repeats itself,” how can you use historical information about your business's past performance to guide its future results? Well, no one has yet invented a “magical answers-machine,” but tools and techniques do exist which can leverage that historical data to guide future decision-making. We can help.   (Read more...)
