Business and technology values

We have worked with companies of every kind for more than 20 years, so we have lot of experience (and a huge toolbox!) to benefit your organization.

Our business values

Cross-functional & goal-oriented

We love to work in groups of people with different functional expertise who are working toward a common goal. Cross-functional teams include people from various levels and departments within an organization: e.g. accounting, marketing, operations, research, communication, and human resources.

Cross-functional teams often operate as self-directed units, assigned a specific goal that needs input and expertise from different areas. Assigning a task to a group of multi-disciplinary individuals increases the level of creativity and the probability of success, because each member of the team offers a unique perspective on the problem and potential solutions.

Fast, lightweight, and responsive

Our company is small, fast, and agile. This is our business strategy and our competitive edge. It enables us to compete successfully against large brand name software consulting companies, because we offer a level of service they simply can't match.

Sometimes we encounter a potential client who will tell us they feel "safer" going with Big Brand X, because they want assurance someone will answer their phone call at midnight, should the need arise. And it's true: Big Brand X can have someone on staff who is available to take your midnight call. But here's the problem: the person who answers the phone at midnight won't be able to do anything for you. It is their job to get you off the phone before you can speak to someone capable of solving your problem, because those people are expensive in a large company.

On the other hand, when you send us an email, you will always get a response, and we will always solve your problem quickly. We take excellent care of our customers – because that is the core of our business.

Collaborative and adaptive

Processes, tools, and contract negotiations are important to the development and maintenance of good software, but we believe individuals, interactions, and customer collaboration are even more important to the success of any information management system.

Following a plan is necessary for the development of good software, and sometimes flexibility is even more important: so you have the ability to respond to changing circumstances and business needs.

Our technology values

Simple

Many applications today are bloated, complex, and difficult to use. Our systems are small and compact, simple and easy to use. We think the best solution to a problem is crisp and clean.

Secure

We have many years of experience building and maintaining databases that are robust and secure. We follow industry best practices, including secure socket layer encryption and multi-factor authentication.

Affordable

Custom software is sometimes considered more expensive than off-the-shelf software, but this is not always true. There are many scenarios in which it is faster and less expensive to "build" versus "buy".

Mobile

We design every application with mobile devices in mind. We can tailor your web application so it is accessible and easy to use from your phone or tablet.

Multipurpose

We have been developing software for a long time, and our experience enables us to anticipate needs beyond the initial purpose for your database. In the long run, you'll find it useful for much more than you might expect.

Configurable

This is the power and beauty of custom software. We can accommodate very unique business requirements and preferences, delivering a tailor-made solution that exactly fits the needs of your business.

Fast

Database performance and application response time are key quality metrics in every solution we build. Our instrumentation monitors and measures the speed of our applications to ensure a snappy user experience.

Flexible

We build your system knowing that your organization will change and grow. Our software is designed with flexibility in mind, enabling us to adapt and evolve your solution to meet your growing business.

Powerful

We build applications for organizations of every kind, from small non-profits in our local community, to large international enterprises. We have been doing this for many years, and our databases are built to last.
