How can we help you? 

Currently (for the last 15 years or so ;-), we spend most of our time working with Microsoft technology, and some Java and Android development, but have a rich history with Unix.  More specifically, we do most of our development work using .NET, and our experience has been primarily with the development of products where software is the critical (or only) component - but we have also done IT projects as well.

Here is a list of the types of work with which we might be able to help your software technology efforts:

Software technology planning and forecasting

Many inquiries we get fall into this category, and it's no wonder given the mind-boggling pace of technical change that occurs in the software industry.  Sorting hype from reality and important from incidental, when overlaid with now vs. later, is a very difficult problem.  Our candid judgment in this area, derived from direct, hands-on product development responsibilities in very senior leadership roles has proven to be quite valuable.  Learn more...

Help for your software project teams

We have enough conscious experience that we can quickly consume and assess the state of a software development project and provide insightful feedback as needed.  Our deep technical competence allows us to easily establish a rapport with your technical team, since we are developers!  We are especially capable at working with projects involving multi-user server software, object design, database development, eBusiness software (Web Services, etc.), optimal demo strategies and development, testing strategies, and project management.  We are not as uniquely useful for process development, documentation, graphics design, or device driver development.  Learn more...

Help for your technical leaders

Getting the most from your managers and leaders who are responsible for your software development teams is a high-leverage, frustratingly arduous task.  We've had direct experience and been very successful in helping technical leaders be effective.  One example is optimizing the recruiting of software developers.  We've personally attracted, selected, and hired many software engineers and developers over the years, and have an unusual track record of success in hiring and retaining "only-the-best".  We can help you and your team learn how to do that too.  Learn more...

Development work

Like most software people, this is our favorite category of work.  We are very effective in our development work, especially for projects using Microsoft Technology for the types of projects mentioned above in "Help for your software projects".  But the essential difference between us and other options you have for development work, is our decision making maturity borne from direct responsibility for successful and unsuccessful product development, applied to every facet of development (details can make or break a software project).    Learn more...
