custom-ade solutions

We bring a lot to the table

-ade consultants and programmers are tops in the fields of business analysis, information management, database application development and related services. We have experience working with all types of organizations, from the small business on up through corporate workgroups, and we are as comfortable on the loading dock as we are in the board room.

We design software that fits like a second skin

The -ade credo: "The success of a development project is staked not only on what set of features is included and how well they are programmed, but also to a large extent on the willingness with which users will adopt the new application. "Usability" is a facet of application development that ought to begin at the outset of the process, with sensitivity and intuition on the part of the Business Analyst to all kinds of issues — human as much as technical, cultural as much as organizational."

We have a plan

-ade methods have been perfected for smooth travel through the several phases of a software development project — from developing a clear road-map at the outset of the job and helping to nail down workflow rules and systems design, through supervising or conducting the programming and testing phases, right on up through rolling out your new software. Then we provide support, training and hand-holding — we enjoy lasting relationships with our customers.

We are good at this!

At -ade we know our tools; we have developed solid standards and protocols, and we use them efficiently. We can build an application that accesses systems you already have in place, or can work in cooperation with in-house IT to integrate a new database into your current systems, and can advise on hardware, software, deployment and backup strategies. We tie up all the strings leaving nothing to trip you up. We know that downtime is a bad thing.

And, we love our work!

We avoid techno-babble, we have a sense of humor. Solving your software requirements is what we love to do, with the larger picture -- helping you evolve your business -- always in mind. We truly enjoy the challenge of meeting a new company, learning its data flow, identifying the critical processes, understanding personnel functions. Our goal is to provide an information management solution that gives us our ultimate reward -- you, enjoying that "Ah, just want we needed!" experience.
