Some organizations tout very specific skills and technologies. We believe that is an outdated approach to IT. The IT world changes much too quickly. To adapt to the tools available and the needs of businesses, we instead focus more on how our experience facilitates solving tomorrow’s challenges instead of yesterday’s challenges.
Patterns
Life is full of patterns. The natural world features amazing patterns that serve as the building blocks of complex life forms and systems. Software and its interaction with the needs of businesses also follows relatively consistent patterns. With experience, our team can quickly recognize these patterns. This includes being able to identify, not just the symptoms, but the root problems with how businesses use software. We are also experienced at identifying the best software choices and structure to meet your objectives.
Problem Solving
Patterns are important, but every business challenge is unique - its objectives, history, participants, budget, timeline and software ecosystem all play a role. So, while, we may have solved similar challenges before, your project is unique. That is where our problem-solving ability becomes important. We believe that an IT consultant’s exact skill set is far less important then their ability to take a problem, iteratively break it into chunks, and then design and implement a solution. If you want a cookie-cutter home built for you, we’re probably not your team. If you want a software that is designed just for you without breaking the bank, talk to us.
Industry Expertise
Industries have their own flavor and approach. We have experience with health care, travel & leisure, eCommerce, marking & retail, manufacturing & distribution, and much more. Armed with that experience, we can quickly come up-to-speed on your business lingo, competitors, and determine what you need to separate your business from the pack.
Making Decisions
The number of software decisions you may be presented with can be dizzying. Do I need software or is a manual process sufficient? If I need software, how far do I go with automation? Is the software I already have something we can build on? Is there a piece of software out there that I can buy off-the-shelf that meets my needs with limited customization? Or do I need something completely custom? What technologies should I be using and will they be reasonably future-proof? All important questions. You have business questions to answer. Our experience can answer them without all the second-guessing.
