Our Process
Technology solutions are infamous for not meeting expectations, late, over budget, unfriendly user adoption, and eating up the time of the client valuable resources that should have been spent on conducting business operations. To avoid these issues, we have a proven phased approach that significantly reduces risk, eliminates surprises, creates transparency and visibility right from the get-go. We work closely with clients while utilizing the best practices for software development to deliver complete and robust solutions.

Evaluation
Without a clear understanding of the problem, it is impossible to create the right solution therefore it is vital for SharePoint consultants to have industry domain expertise so they can articulate the problem from both SharePoint scope and business workflow automation.
Prototype
Just like you test drive a vehicle before purchasing it, we believe the technology solution should be the same way. All inquiries must be answered, avoid all assumptions, and comfort and confidence levels are attained prior to making an investment.
