Project Management: We have been using Project Management as a practical
tool for coordinating both very diverse, complex and multi-disciplinary
resources in many different work environments in our history; it is a set
of skills we have honed over the years in conjunction with hands-on responsibilities
in a variety of fields of endeavor in both the international and domestic
arena of high technology systems development.

Business Management: A solid background of broad experience in creating innovative, practical solutions in areas of expertise ranging from the intellectual types of work - as in developing conceptual solutions and implementing functional strategies for answering fundamental business management questions on the one hand, to the practical types of work - such as in designing and producing esoteric, state-of-the-art, sophisticated, capital equipment systems on the other. Go Back Team Leadership: Amongst the many Tools of the Trade that we have used for creating a cohesive team is PERT analysis - ("Project Evaluation and Review Technique"). This method of tracking project activities started with the POLARIS development by the US Navy and has lead to the modern approaches to Critical Path Analysis (CPA) and to useful timeline, cost and resource management software packages such as Microsoft® Project Manager® which we have used extensively along with Lotus Notes®, NetManage's Ecco Pro® and Sparta Systems TrackWise®, variously for Team management, issue tracking and resolution as well as for general project and business Information sharing. Go Back Team Communications: Other tools of the trade that we have found to be most helpful in team and business management are Visio® drawing tools and Astound® presentation tools. Charts and pictures of many kinds help convey the fundamental story of the project objectives, information and methods to team members and company executives alike - an essential part of effective communication.

Our Project Management and Leadership Skills relate directly to clients' needs because we talk the same language and share the same experiences as those of our clients and systems users. We have, so to speak, "been there, done that" during our own time in business so we can be most helpful to you in resolving whatever challenges you face and in developing solutions that directly address the specific business, project or product management situation before you and in creating answers for handling the data, decision support or other business information resourcing issues as you see them and in helping you capitalize on opportunities, build market share and grow your profits.

Product Management: The ongoing needs of management to proactively monitor,
and act upon, trends in product sales, production costs, inventory levels
and overall profit margins can be understood from our own direct experiences
in this area of Profit and Loss responsibility; one example being
the time we launched a sophisticated, Sun Microprocessor driven, Unix based,
hardware / software integrated, Automatic
Test Equipment capital equipment product both nationally and internationally.

Operations Management: For another example of how experience plays into relating to your needs as a client, our past responsibilities in managing production staff comprised of several different unions helped us in understanding the needs one of our clients' had for evaluating their production costs and historical trends, including benefits costs, prior to their salary contract negotiations with their staff representatives. Go Back Systems Integration has been a major aspect of much of our project management experience. We have been responsible for a very wide range of different types of system integration activity raging from integrating major software systems across multiple platforms to integrating hardware and software systems in automation and process control capital equipment systems. Go Back Business Solutions: Some projects call for nothing more than working with the client in the application of basic logical and analytical skills - purely intellectual exercises - as in, for example, creating functional IS tools to help increase profits and reduce operational costs by solving a functional problem such as enabling direct data input into a company IS system from clients' sales order data files using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) whereas other projects are intensely practical, in-the-trenches work such as in the development of new production plant. Go Back Testimonials: Many projects call for a combination of analytical skills together with the practical, hands-on, experience that comes only from first working for many years in the same real world situations that our clients' face daily. We came into IS/IT and MIS systems consulting as a consequence of first developing experience solving our own IS and business development challenges while engaged in a variety of full-time, executive and line-management roles in a broad range of business environment from the entrepreneurial start-up to fully fledged, multi-national corporation.
