Simply, we are smarter.
We are MENSA. We are Phi Beta Kappa. We
have a very high bar for new team members. We’re small enough to maintain that distinction.
That makes us much better business and technical thinkers. Custom software excellence
is first all about understanding your customer, the organizational initiatives,
goals and vision for both the short and long term. We excel here beyond our peers.
We quickly figure things out and help customers refine, optimize and automate processes
to achieve their goals.
We have better tools.
We have a collection of integrated tools
that is not found anywhere else. We’ve written many of them ourselves. They include
industry standard tools like Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. They also include many
other tools that we have created, such as advanced enhancements and extensions to
Visual Studio. Our tool output goes well beyond features delivered in standard tools
on the market today.
We have better frameworks.
Every time we create new software, we
build on proven frameworks that we can optimize for each customer scenario. We can
optimize for all of the major enterprise application attributes…performance, scalability,
reliability, availability, supportability, security. We’re alking advanced stuff
we made by design to deliver exceptional value. We have better data services. We
have better user interfaces. We have better security.
We have better processes.
Everything we do is integrated and meticulously
thought out. Requirements analysis and iteration design are integrated with code
generation, which is integrated with extensibility and testing and deployment. Deployment
is integrated with instrumentation, which is integrated with operations and issue
resolution and v-next. The life cycle circle is completely integrated in our processes.
And our processes are designed to mitigate risk. They’re bullet-proof.
We have integrity.
We’re obsessed with integrity. We love
what is does for our relationships. We do what we say. We keep our promises. We
tell the truth. Our word is important.
We are obsessed with being #1.
We love it. We’re not in this market to
come in second place. That is not an option for us. We’ll pay whatever price is
required to be and remain the best...all nighters, extra investment, we go the extra
mile to make sure the deliverable we provide is just what our customer needs
We deliver on time and on budget.
No excuses. No failures. Late is not an
option. Over-budget is not an option. It’s part of doing what we say.
We are experts.
We’ve done the research to know our stuff.
We’ve written books and white papers. We've created and conducted expert level training
classes and delivered many expert level speaking engagements.
We are outstanding problem solvers.
We are fanatical about making every project
a WIN-WIN. Because of that, we’ve become very skilled in rescuing failing software
projects. That’s one of our favorite things to do! Gotta love it!
We make our customers better than ever.
We L-O-V-E our customers. Our holy grail
is to deliver an exceptional value matrix to them. And we have accumulated
an impressive set of customers who are leaders and outstanding companies
in the own industries. Our discussions around software frequently lead to us helping
them improve in key ways. Whether it’s refining strategic vision or refining strategic
goals or optimizing processes or finding some new paradigm, we are ever looking
for and finding opportunities to contribute.
