Implementation services are expensive

No, they’re not. They CAN be expensive when inexperienced programmers have to adjust to a learning curve for the underlined technology. When programmers are on their game, and know exactly how the entire system works, implementation services are a smaller project. So instead of operating with continued inconvenience, let us prove to you that small projects can create a huge impact.


Outsourcing = cost effective

Not anymore. Remote programmers can be cost effective for the largest companies with cumbersome projects, and scattered project teams. However, for small-scale projects, it is much more cost effective to utilize agile development and keep your forces working within the US.


Any programmer can do the work IF he’s familiar with the development tools

Unfortunately, this is a major industry misconception. When a programmer doesn’t know (or care) about your production systems he will write compromised code. It may work but will require more processing resources, often require more of the support team’s attention, or just be plain unstable.

Our programming team is trained to learn systems as a whole, learning hardware specifics and developing solutions that fit the overall hardware and system. This produces optimal hardware utilization, meaning less hardware is needed for system support-yielding power- saving opportunities, and a greener overall IT department.
