At Extreme Consulting we are experts at designing and developing software applications.  Everything from small utilities to make business processes easier, to full scale applications.  Just about anything you can conceive of, we can develop for you.  Whether it’s a product you want to sell, a business function you want to automate, or the ability to use data that is vital to your business in new and different ways, we can help you get there.

Needs Analysis & Requirements Gathering

You have a complex set of needs and requirements for your new system.  We will go through a rigorous process of identifying your needs, interviewing your users, and gathering the requirements which will ensure your application meets every expectation.  We will also help you to identify areas of concern, issues that may arise, and choices that may need to be made through the course of the design and implementation.  We will save you money by uncovering these issues up front and dealing with them early.

 Architecture & Design

The architecture of your project is paramount to achieving the most successful and efficient results.  During this phase we will work with you to determine the right mix of technology to address your project needs.  We will look at hardware, server, database, and implementation technology choices and come up with the mix that best suits your needs.  This stage will also serve to identify the phases of the project as we move along, ensuring that we are implementing the most important features first, to give you the quickest time to delivery and most effective bang for your buck.

Database Design

During the database design phase we will model the most efficient way to lay out your data.  We take into account all of your requirements and construct a database which will be efficient while also being flexible to meet your needs now and in the future.  A solid database design is critical to the success of your project, and you need an expert to help you achieve the data storage solution to meet all of your requirements.

Iterative Implementation

The most exciting part of the project is when you get to see what your application looks like and how it works.  We know you are anxious to get to this stage, and that you want to see and play with the product as soon as possible.  Which is why we use a leading edge methodology called Extreme Programming.  By using Extreme Programming, you will get a chance to see your new application quickly, and watch each week as changes are made.  Our goal is to get you up and using the first release of your application as quickly as possible. 

The Best Consultants

Quite simply, we staff your project with the best.   We use highly skilled specialists in each phase of the project, only using experts where needed, and only for the length of time needed.  We have excellent architects, database designers, human factors engineers, and quality assurance specialists, and also several low cost developers who can crank out the code under the direction of a senior architect/tech lead.

Efficient Management and Cost Control

We keep costs low and pass the savings on to you.   It sounds cliche, but it’s simple.  You don’t want to pay for excess, and you shouldn’t have to.  We will manage your project with the tightest scrutiny, saving you money wherever we can without sacrificing quality.
