Business in the Cloud

Since 2001 we have been building custom web-based applications. Web-based (or Cloud if you'd rather) means there is never anything for you to install. Our solutions have:

• Clean user-interfaces

  Drawing on our expertise in Human Factors engineering, our web applications are insanley easy to use. With no instruction, most users are able to get up and running. With a little instruction, most of your users will be able to utilize the full capability of the system we develop for you.

• Member-only areas

  Your customers can view custom information based on their role with your company or organization. Once you know who is looking at your website, you can begin to customize their experience based on their history, relationship to you as a customer, and anything else you choose to track about your users.

• eCommerce capability

  We can build custom interfaces to all the popular online payment methods including shopping carts, recurring payments, and a host of other online payment needs.

• Content Management

  You will no longer be locked in to needing an HTML expert to update your website. We build applications where you are able to update the content on any page, directly from the web interface. Add pictures, news, blogs, and any other information.

Business on the Ground

It is not enough to build great systems. Real people need to be able to use them. You don't have time to train everyone in your organization for weeks to get them up to speed. Systems should be rational and fill a need. We call this business on the ground.

• Detailed Requirements Gathering

  Our first job is to listen. We will work with you and your staff to understand the issues with existing systems, or your dreams for future capability. Each aspect of your solution will be carefully tailored to the needs of your business.

• Hands-on Development

  We believe in the design philosophy: Release early, update often. Our clients are a part of our continuous improvement. We take early ideas and get them in front of you and your people as fast as possible. Then we iterate until everyone is satisafied with the result. Why do we do it this way? There is no better way to build a computer program than to give it to the user.

• Nightly, Weekly, Monthly

  We take the concepts of Continuous Improvement seriously. If you want to build a web site that never changes, we are not the company for you. Instead, if you want a group that can deliver constant revisions to your ideas, then we are for you. We can take a random comment made during a meeting and deliver a working version faster than you might be used to. Our clients enjoy frequent software updates without a slightest hitch - nightly, weekly, monthly.

• Designed for Humans

  Our founder, Steve Krile, is a Human Factors Engineer. That means he knows a lot about how humans think and react to a computer screen. That means we take very seriously the need to build systems that real humans can use.

  We understand many of our customers are fed up with computers, phones, and tablets. And for good reason! Many of the systems you are forced to rely on were built by ... well ... nerds. Nerds with no understanding of how humans actually think.

  Good news! Our nerds are "people nerds".
