Software Development
Application Development
If you decide to build, how do you go about doing it? We can build it for you, supplement or manage your existing team, or even teach your people how to build it for themselves. Whether it's a browser-based intranet tool, a distributed application system (using your network and the Internet but not running in a browser), or an old-school client/server program, you'll benefit from our expertise.
Intranets and Extranets
A corporate intranet is an excellent enabling platform for distributed systems and corporate workflow applications. Add systems integration with your external partners and vendors via a secure extranet and you have the facility to provide data and information throughout your enterprise.

Data Management
Data Modeling
This is the first step in turning data into information. Data by itself is meaningless. We take facts and figures you wish to collect and imbue them with context in a comprehensive and expressive database design. Data given context is information. This transformation is enabled by our discussion of the strategic goals of your business with executives and our learning about the operational details of day-to-day life from your employees.
Database Implementation
This is the second step in turning data into information. Given a comprehensive and expressive data model, we will build a database and supporting systems that you can use to harvest the new information and use it to meet your goals. The specifics of database implementation vary for every client. Typically we build databases in SQL Server on Windows platform.

Information Management
Workflow
Information by itself is only moderately useful. It generally needs to flow through your organization in order to be used effectively. Workflow applications enable the management and flow of information from department to department and from person to person. Workflow applications can bring about productivity gains in the tasks they automate by facilitating a major reduction in processing delays. It's provides the framework by which people can work together smoothly and efficiently. We design our workflow applications to know which tasks and procedures to apply to which types of information in order to increase throughput and reduce human error.
Systems Integration
You may have several systems already in place. And individually each one may be doing a good job. But if they cannot exchange data with each other you still have the problems of duplicate data entry, manual information consolidation, and cross-system data quality. For example, if a customer changes their address and notifies your billing department, does the shipping department find out about this before the customer calls to ask about the whereabouts of their new order? This is where our systems integration services can help. By applying techniques such as inter-application messaging and data cataloging and building solutions employing tools like Web services and XML, we can link your disparate systems to increase operational efficiency and accuracy.
