We strive
to deliver value to our customers using a unique blend of business,
technology, and marketing expertise along with a touch of blue sky or
"what if" thinking - to help them become even more successful.
Listening
- We take the time to get to know you, your business, your staff, and
your business challengers. We dig deep to understand the root problems
that are inhibiting your technical and business success.
Technical
Analysis - We have the technical and engineering background
to understand most processes and products from a design, operations,
and logistics perspective. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes or a different
way of analyzing or displaying data can lead to a clearer understanding
of the underlying technical issues.
Marketing
Analysis - We also use our considerable marketing insight and
technical sales experience to understand the situation from your customer's
perceptive. What do your customers perceive as the major features and
benefits of your products or services and how do you rank relative to
your competitors?
Database
Design - Defining your database with the right fields and
relationships is a critical step toward having an well-organized,
quick-to-retrieve data storage and information management system.
Web Site
Design - We design web sites that provide a window into your
data, making the information readily available to your staff and providing
controlled access by your sales agents, customers and suppliers, yet
your valuable data is protected from unauthorized users.
Project
Management - Where appropriate, we can supplement your in-house
staff by planning, organizing and implementing mission-critical technical
or marketing projects. We can supply experienced people who can quickly
get your projects done on schedule and on budget.
Experience
- We bring over 30 years experience in engineering, technology, operations,
marketing, and sales.
Flexibility
- Because we are small, we are usually available to meet with you
immediately to define and launch a new project whenever you need
to respond quickly to changing business conditions, or to problems with production,
quality, or staffing issues.
Facilities
- we have a well-equipped off-site office with phone, FAX,
PC, scanner, digital camera, and high speed Internet access. We also
have extensive software and reference book collection along with prototype
facilities for database and web design and testing.
Relationships
- we have well established relationships with several hundred
other seasoned experts in the southwestern PA area and can quickly
add any of them to your project team as needed on either a short-term
or a long-term basis.
