Complementary Services

Some consultants offer advice from when they used to work in the IT industry.

We really work with computers - every day.

We stay technically involved for several reasons including that our clients need:

• to know what technologies are emerging.
• to know what solutions will succeed for them - and which ones will not.
• help with projects that capitialize on opportunities uncovered by Strategic IT.

In addition to offering our primary services of Strategic IT and web application development, we also offer:

Computer consulting

We have years of hard-earned IT knowledge. Let us share it with you. We supply individuals or whole teams to do the work, to teach your staff, to lead the way, or to augment your team. We have staff available for short or long-term assignments.

Help you to select commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software

Third-party software may already exist to solve your needs. We can help you define your requirements, search what exists and how well the alternatives meet your requirements, and report what we find.

IT project and technical management

Managing technology and technical people poses unique issues. The two different languages and cultures of management and of technology are often worlds apart. Why chose between a manager of people and someone who knows the technology? Our people know both, can get your project on-track fast, and lead it to success.

Database and software design

In-house programmers often rush to code a solution. Few have the training and time needed to analyze the problem and to design and document a long-term solution. We design software solutions that may be implemented either in-house, with our help, or by others.

Programming

Effective use of object oriented languages such as C++ and Java programming reduces software development and maintenance costs and is well-suited to the internet. we are expert in all phases of software development including documentation and testing. In support of developing web applications, we have in-house experience with Visual Basic, ASP, Perl, CGI, XML, and a variety of other languages, tools, and technologies that align with individual strategies.

Technical Writing

Effective development of business processes and computer software requires good, clear, correct documentation. Too often, documentation is considered as "frosting on the cake" or as a "nice to have" afterthought. We have a senior documentation specialist on staff who speaks (and writes) English. The result is quality documentation that supports the design, testing, and maintenance of IT systems and processes.
