The words "custom software development" unfortunately
often equate to "spiraling out-of-control-costs" to some. This is too bad, as there has
not been a better time to be in the business of software development than today. The
abundance of seriously competitive Rapid Application Development tools, in the hands
of an expert, can facilitate the translation of ideas into viable, professional tools
in time frames not imaginable 10 years ago.
In our experience proper planning, discipline and
the right experience are key to project success. We apply these key principles whether
the project is a utility completed over a weekend, or a major year-long effort. Our
process of detail planning has enabled us to initiate and complete complex projects
in circumstances where clients had thought a solution was impossible.
We will not tell you "sure we can do that" just to
get your business. We listen and analyze very closely, and if something sounds like it
may be complex to implement, we will tell you on the spot, and offer to work out the
details.
Our process is simple. We discuss the idea with
the client, and generate sketches that show we understand the idea. We keep doing
this as long as necessary until the drawings we show the client represent the idea
accurately. We then break the idea down into a coding plan. We anticipate places
where things can go wrong based on years of experience, and build in error checking
and handling. We plan for future expansion and "feature enhancements" and build in
room to grow. Before we even begin coding, we have built a construction plan that has
taken nothing for granted and leaves nothing to the imagination, because if we haven't
already done it, we've imagined it.
