Breadth of Experience
Our principals, managing partners, and consultants have worked with a wide variety of systems, providing a strong perspective on technical issues such as scalability, integration, migration, and common design themes.

Technologies our team has worked with previously
While we currently don't focus on projects involving these technologies, having worked with them in the past allows us to provide an expert opinion on benefits of considering alternative implementations. We have partners who do currently specialize in some of these technologies. For example, for companies with a large in-house expertise in a given technology (e.g. Visual Basic), it may make business sense to dictate the technology to deploy, regardless of the other benefits of using Java and XML on new projects.
