| Dilbert observed, a "consultant" is someone with their hand in your wallet, a "partner" uses a vacuum cleaner. Yes, we need to get paid for our web design service, but our goal isn't how deep we can dig into your hard earned money. To that end, we add business sense to our proposals. We don't use a jackhammer unless that is the most cost-effective way of meeting your business goals.
To start, we offer free quotes before we begin your project (Web, Windows or MS Access). On larger projects (over $10,000), the quote may be an estimate. For all other projects, the quote will be accompanied with a clear definition of the deliverables and timeframe within which those results will be accomplished.
Use Case
Use Case is a way of observing the participants in a process and how each will interact with the proposed solution. It is also used to document current processes and then to compare the new process with the current method of accomplishing the task. For this example, we'll consider the steps a contractor may follow in responding to a request for quote (prior to implementing online quote management in their web design).
We use this and other tools to identify how and what parts of a process should be automated. In this case, we may identify benefits to the contractor and the customer of allowing the customer to schedule a time for the initial meeting based on a calendar of the contractor's schedule. This can make the process easier (the contractor does all bids between 6 and 8 pm Weds-Fri) by allowing the customer to choose a time best for them. The real benefit is much greater, because it allows the client to interact with the web site and arrange an appt. immediately rather than after he has finished his research (and possibly found another contractor).
Communication is the key to effective implementation of technology in your business. We place a high priority on delivering the applications which benefit your business the most. Ask for a free quote today, and let us start making your company more profitable and enhance your online image. |
