Founded in 1992, PCA is a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner that provides database consulting
and 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 operational needs into fast, reliable
and easy-to-use distributed database solutions.
Custom Smart Client Solutions
Smart Client applications 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.

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 privileged-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
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.

Agile Prototype Design Methodology
Application Prototypes are the centerpiece to PCA's
standard design-build process.
Prototypes provide PCA and our Clients with a simple, visual means to communicate and confirm
application requirements. The outcome of the
Prototype Design Phase is confidence
that we are on the right track, a properly scoped project with reliable estimates, and a
Client-approved design and source-code to drive the Development Phase.

We rely on creativity, efficiency and delivering continual value to our Clients — not leveraging under-experienced or
