Custom Software Development & IT Consulting

Technical Expertise

Our specialties and skills encompass a range of modern technologies. We are continuously evolving and adapting to technological change.

Evaluating and selecting the right technology for both custom and customized off-the-shelf solutions can be a daunting task. Our experience with a wide range of modern technologies enables us to find the best fit for a particular project or customer. Using recent technologies and platforms is also important to ensure the longevity of software investments.

For custom software and web development projects, we usually use the Microsoft platform for core development technologies, and programming languages, such as C#, .NET and SQL Server. The comprehensive feature set, available development tools, and compatibility with other systems typically results in them being the most time-efficient and cost-effective. However, we're not Microsoft evangelists. We always make honest, objective recommendations and don't ever fit projects to a technology.

Software Integration projects often involve multiple technologies from different vendors, and finding ways to make different technologies work together is one of our specialties.
