Welcome to our home page

We have been creating specialized software modules and complete systems since 1977.  Our clients range from very large, like Insurance companies and publishers to small shops and family businesses.  Most of our clients have been with us for five or more years and some for well over ten years. 

We occupy a niche between the individual contractor and the corporate contractor. We're small enough to give you personalized service: when you call us, the person you talk to is the person who designed your application from start to finish, but we have the experience, longevity, and stability of a much larger firm.

• We have a long and impressive project history (references on request).
• We place an emphasis on both people and systems, rather than viewing a project from a purely technical aspect.
• We are very sensitive to real-world schedules, deadlines, costs, and the need for reliability.
• Our turnaround response to a change in specs during development, or problem resolution once you're up and running, is very, very fast.
• We can handle every phase of a project from conception to prototype to full operation, with installation, training, documentation, and continued personalized technical support.

 How may we help you with your problems or projects?

We're interested in whatever you need: a simple adjustment to existing software or the development of a complete system.  Many of our jobs have started from just a client's idea, "Is this possible?  What would it take to do it?"  The first step is to call or email with a brief outline of what you need.  We don't charge for initial consultation. If we can't help you we may be able to recommend another source.  We can work either from a project time and cost estimate or by the hour.  (Take a look at FastTrack)

How to get started...

New, different, and better ways to do things

While developing software we continually look for alternatives that create advantages for our client.  The thumbnail images you see at the left margin are just a few examples of different and better ways to make business work that we have either created for clients or developed on our own.  We can help you find a better way...

Take a direct part in your development process

We use FastTrack to bring our clients into the center of the software specifications, design, and prototyping process.  Check out an example of FastTrack to see how it works.  You are also invited to visit our satellite web sites below:
