| Bespoke Applications |  |  | |
The word bespoke
means "custom-made", and was typically used to refer to
clothing that was hand crafted by expert tailors using the
wearer's exact measurements, resulting in a suit that fit the
wearer like a glove. Today, the word is used to describe
software applications that are hand crafted and made to
exactly meet the requirements of the business. Certainly,
there are times when "off-the-shelf" software will do, but in
many cases a business can gain tremendous advantages by having
an application built to meet the specific needs of their
situation.
Based in Orange County, California, we
are a team of highly-skilled software engineers specializing in writing custom software solutions.
All types of software, ranging from Internet Web Sites, to
advanced Process Control Systems - No job, or client, is
considered too big or small.
While software development is considered by some to be "more
art than science", we believe exactly the opposite. By basing
all our applications on proven design principles, and adhering
to rigorous development methodologies, we create a solid,
reliable, scalable canvas upon which we can then "get
creative" and realize our client's unique vision.
Our professional software
designers are experienced in all of the leading languages and
platforms, and will develop your application using the set of
technologies most appropriate for your solution. We need to
analyze all of your application requirements, your computing
environment, and your internal skill-sets before we can
determine which set of languages/platforms/tools would work
best for you.

| Leverage Open Source | | | |
Until recently, custom
applications were strictly the domain of large corporations
who could afford a large staff of in-house developers or teams
of costly consultants. Despite the high costs, large
corporations recognized the many benefits of custom software,
and were willing to pay for them. Today, due in large part to
the Open Source software community, more and more smaller
sized companies are taking advantage of reduced development
costs to develop their own custom applications, giving them a
huge competitive advantage.
Open Source software is
free software that has been developed by some of the best
programmers around the world. When we design new applications,
many times we are able to leverage these free components to
shorten the development cycle and dramatically reduce the cost
of the project. We also give back to the community by
submitting patches or new features back to the Open Source
projects.

| Our Methodology | | | |
So how do we build a custom software solution that is exactly tailored to your unique requirements?
We start by listening to your users, which helps us better understand your business
tasks and problems. After which we can draft a workflow of all
processes involved. We often sit with staff members and watch them at work,
to get a better understanding of what is involved. After all, the best people
to design a system are the users.
From our documented procedures, we can then suggest how Information Technology can help.
We then translate your entire process into a software application.
The final result is a robust professional software application, which you,
the customer, have designed. It is so valuable during software design to
get the users thoughts and ideas incorporated into the final solution.
After all, if the users are not happy with the system, we have failed our task.
