For Your Unique and Complex Needs
Founded in 1992, PCA is a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner located in Boston that provides custom database design-build engineering services on the Microsoft Smart Client business platform — SQL Server, .NET, SQL Reporting Services (SSRS) and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS).   We are recognized for our ability to translate unique and oftentimes complex line-of-business needs into fast, reliable and easy-to-use Internet database solutions.

Custom Smart Client Solutions

Smart Clients look and perform just like Microsoft Office applications — but they run over the Internet, and enable real-time, secure SQL Server database sharing.  Smart Client database applications are ideally suited for business-to-business data management needs, where streamlined workflows, ease of use, and tight integration with MS Office are critical to business performance and efficiency. Sample Smart Client solutions.

Our Clients

The PCA Client base is exceptionally diverse, spanning a broad range of industries and custom applications. Our Clients are distinguished by their unique and oftentimes complex industry and line-of-business needs — where quality, cost-controls and profitability rely heavily on the ability to share and manage large amounts of role-based information efficiently, among employees, partners and customers over the Internet.

Outgrown Excel or MS Access?

PCA is frequently engaged by companies that have developed highly-customized MS Excel and MS Access applications — have outgrown the capabilities these tools can provide — and need business process experts and SQL Server database and application design engineers who can translate unique operational needs into a high-quality, distributed database solution.  More on PCA database migration services.

Agile Prototype Design Methodology

Application Prototypes are the center piece to PCA's standard design-build process.  Prototypes provide PCA and our Clients with a simple, visual means to communicate and verify application requirements.  The outcome of the Prototype Design Phase is confidence in an optimal solution + reliable engineering resource, budget and schedule estimates + source-code to drive the Development Phase.

Go with the Trusted Experts

As a business, we are lean and focused, with senior business and engineering professionals on every Client Project. We rely on creativity, efficiency and delivering continual value to our Clients — not leveraging under-experienced or outsourced personnel.
