PCA provides custom line-of-business application consulting, design and
development services on the Microsoft business platform (MS Access, SQL Server,
.Net Smart Client). We design and build Internet database solutions
that are custom-tailored to increase business capabilities and productivity,
and reduce operational inefficiencies and costs. PCA is recognized for
our ability to translate unique and oftentimes complex line-of-business
requirements into fast, reliable and easy-to-use business solutions.
Custom Line-of-Business Solutions
PCA specializes in migrating "office grown" MS Excel and MS Access applications
to SQL Server, and new Smart Client Internet database design and development
projects. We have extensive experience converting a wide variety of
legacy applications to the Microsoft platform. PCA has significant
Project Takeover experience:
we can most rescue database systems regardless of platform, condition or level
of support available. We can also optimize performance and reliability of
your SQL Server-based systems.
PCA Clients
Our Client base is exceptionally diverse -- spanning a
broad range of industries and applications
-- a testament to our ability to custom-tailor business solutions to many
different business needs. We frequently work with companies that have
developed a custom "office grown" application with
MS Excel or
MS Access --
have outgrown the capabilities these tools can provide -- and need business
process experts and
SQL Server database
and application design experts who can understand unique business needs and
determine the most cost-effective solution to meet current and future
operational needs.
Fixed-Cost Approach
PCA believes in fixed pricing, with no surprises or
complications. Our
straightforward process is
designed to insure the highest possible fidelity between our Clients' business
objectives and functional needs, and budget and schedule constraints. We
work on a fixed-cost project basis, with no application licensing or other
ongoing fees (see our
License-Free Terms).
Smart Client Advantages
The PCA
Smart Client Platform
is designed to support the next generation of easy-to-use, low-cost
Internet database business solutions. PCA Smart Client
applications look and perform just like Microsoft Office/Desktop applications
-- but they install and run over the Internet, and enable real-time, secure SQL
Server database sharing. Smart Client solutions are ideally suited
to multi-user Internet database business needs.
Prototype Design Methodology
PCA employs a highly effective
Application Prototype Design and
structured Project Management methodology to insure the highest fidelity to our
Clients' business and financial objectives. Our proven approach
provides Clients with a simple, visual way to prioritize and refine application
requirements and lock-in the Project budget before a project is
commited. No waste and no surprises.
