How We Do It :: Technologies

We’ll spare you the gory techno-details about how we do what we do (unless of course, techno-details are your kind of thing, in which case, enjoy the bottom of this page). Let’s just say our approach to developing your technology solutions is stable, secure and time-tested.

Leverage open-source software

We believe that the open-source movement saves money and reduces risk. We advocate using open-source technologies because clients avoid paying steep licensing fees, thereby freeing up funds for actual development. Beyond the significant cost savings, open-source components have been examined and improved by many excellent engineers who develop the applications simply because they care. This process results in highly optimized, secure and reliable software components onto which we build client applications.

Build web sites for databases

We are a database development company that uses web sites as an interface to its databases, not vice versa. This might seem like a trivial distinction, but over time our clients realize the benefit of our data expertise and willingness to be flexible on the web side of things without sacrificing the integrity of their databases.
