Free Technical Evalution & Business Consultation

PCA provides prospective Clients with a complimentary Technical and Business Evaluation.  Our goal is to understand your existing business application, get a clear picture of your business issues and needs, and determine if we can help.  You will receive a comprehensive application evaluation and business needs assessment, free of charge.

Our Business Application Consultants will work with you one-on-one to develop a clear picture of each and every concern that you are currently facing with your business application.  Whether you need to fix or "upsize" an existing application that you are having problems with, or you need to design and build a new custom business application from scratch -- PCA experts will help you flesh out your options and determine the best, most cost-effective approach to meeting your strategic and operational objectives.

How PCA Consultations Work

The FIRST STEP is to understand your current line-of-business application, and your primary business objectives, special needs and concerns.  In most cases we will ask you to send us your current application for a detailed technical evaluation (STEP 2).   Our Technical Evaluation Team typically requires 2 to 5 business days to analyze an application.  We will contact you immediately following our internal evaluation to share our observations, and discuss alternative approaches to meeting your business needs (STEP 3). 

If your business and application needs are well-defined and well-scoped, we can provide you with a Project Cost estimate right away.  If your application needs require further focus and/or refinement, we will work with you to properly scope and prioritize your application needs.  We take a very disciplined approach to help you get the most value -- and properly align your business needs with your budget. PCA experts will help you separate "must-haves" (features that are essential to meeting your business needs) from "nice-to-haves" (features that tend to impact cost more than application value).

A Proposal (STEP 4) is the final step in our initial Client engagement process.  PCA Proposals are always clear and concise (typically 2 pages): they lay-out your business objectives and key application requirements, and include an estimated or fixed project cost and development schedule.  We often recommend initiating new Projects with an Application Prototype -- as a low-cost, easy way to communicate application requirements and develop a fixed Project cost.
