Frequently Asked Questions About Our Computer Services

  • How do we know that we need a custom-developed application?

    You know you need a new custom-developed application when you know you have good people and still, your current methods, procedures, and systems no longer allow you to be efficient, resulting in too many costly mistakes and a general hindrance to growth.

  • How would you design a system for us?

    Having a detailed specification is critical, if you already have a detailed specification, we can build a system from that. If you do not have a detailed spedification, we need to create one. 

  • How would you prepare a detailed specification of our needs?

    We will take the time to learn about your business, understand your needs, and identify the problems that must be solved. Sometimes this is done over Zoom. Sometimes, we must spend a week working closely with your management team and staff. We create a discussion of goals and solutions, covering all aspects of your operation. We will then prepare a detailed document specifying what the system will do to meet your needs. This is an integral part of the process. Even if you don’t hire us to build the system, you will have a detailed specification of the system you need.

  • What happens after we have a detailed specification for a system?

    Once we have that, we will provide a cost estimate for building the system. Fixed-price jobs are challenging for both parties in this line of work.

  • How will you build the system?

    We will use MS Access for the front-end  user interface and MS SQL Server to hold the database. We prefer to connect to your site and build the system remotely. This way, you will get to see your new system grow daily.

  • What if we don’t have MS Access or MS SQL server?

    We will help you buy them! As they are necessary for us to build a system. They are an excellent platform for creating Windows-based applications.

  • What if we change our minds about the design or wish to have functionality that is not initially covered by the design specification?

    The short answer is yes, we can do that; however, it costs more. This is the main reason why fixed-price jobs are so complex. When people see how a system comes together, it sparks new ideas, and they want more or something different. Besides building a system, we will create a relationship that lasts many years beyond the initial system build.

  • How do we know that you can build the right system for us?
