FAQ

It is foolish to shop on the rate alone, especially for services, while it has been proven that the difference between productivity of medium level and top level programmer is factor of 10. We offer competitive & reasonable rates, but we know they aren’t for everyone because some insist on getting less by paying less. Contact us to discuss how our experience and software will cost less in the long run.

We can offer you better services because we are professionals and only work with top level programmers that Microsoft would want to hire, but they wouldn’t work for Microsoft!

We can handle almost any project (certainly not all), but our main strengths are in automating business IT processes, such as connecting internal applications to a web site, automating manual work, transferring paper work to computer processes, etc…

We do not have enough patience to work with government agencies. Requirements to generate paper work at the excessive amounts required that will not be read doesn’t excite us. However, we are OK with normal documentation like user manuals, source code documentation, etc… Anything that requires less bureaucracy we have been succeeding at. That is the main reason why find it more exciting and rewarding to work with small & medium size businesses.

We cover the range of today’s technologies like C/C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, JSP, HTML, XML, XSLT, .NET, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Open Source and other industry leaders

We always exercise a very high level of discretion in regard to your business operations and your trade secrets. And, of course, we will back that up in writing. Since we are a US company that maintains its assets in the US, your intellectual property rights are fully protected under US law.
