The Solution
So if your technical knowledge and experience isn't great, how can you test claims of
technical excellence to minimize the likelihood of a project failing?
The simple fact is, on your own you can't.
With me as your partner, however, you get over 30 years of detailed, hands-on software development
experience. When we work together as a team, prospective vendors will not be able to bullshit you.
Together we can ask probing technical questions tailored to your needs, and understand the answers.
You will be confident of making well-informed decisions, and you will minimize the risk of contracting
a vendor that damages your project, your reputation, or your company. When you're investing a
substantial amount of money to have custom software built for you, that software should fit your needs exactly.
And it's not just my expertise that you get. I maintain a network of IT professionals whose knowledge
and experience augment my own. I'm not an SEO guru, but there's a member of my team who is.
I can work with you openly as a team member, joining meetings and engaging in discourse with your staff and vendors
as you feel fit. Or if you do not wish to publicize the fact that we are collaborating we can work together privately.
How we collaborate is covered in more detail under Working Together.
Contact me - Stephen Collins - for a free initial consultation. We will clarify your goals, discuss the services that I offer
and decide how I can be of most help to you and your business. The first thing we'll cover is whether or not you need custom software to be built
for you at all. If you can achieve all you need with off-the-shelf products and technologies, that may save you a lot of time and money.
