Sample Application Prototypes

Smart Client Prototypes consist of a complete application User Interface and preliminary SQL Server database schema design.  Prototypes install on your PC over the Internet.  Check out the sample Smart Client Prototypes below [select "Run" -- Username: "demo"  Password: "demo"].

Approved Prototype = Fixed Functionality = Fixed Budget and Schedule

PCA designs Application Prototypes as the 1st step in a project -- for the very same reason it makes sense to review and approve design blue prints before you begin constructing a new home: you know what you're getting and how much it will cost, and the contractor has clear instructions -- before you commit to a budget!  

PCA leads Clients thru a Prototype review/feedback process.  Once we hear "that's exactly what I want!" we will provide you with a fixed development budget and schedule, because we know exactly what we are building (and equally important, what we're not building).  The Rapid Prototype design methodology is unique to PCA, and provides our Clients with a very agile, cost-effective and low risk alternative to the traditional back and forth paper shuffle among business managers and software developers -- an outdated process that is well-known to result in missed functionality, poor User experience and cost overruns.  PCA Prototypes eliminate the surprises and complications inherent to traditional software design, and insure 100% integrity with our Clients' business and budget requirements.

In addition to the online Prototype, PCA provides Clients with a "Paper Prototype" to faciliate the Prototype review-feedback process.  Clients simply mark-up the Paper Prototype with comments and fax to PCA, insuring that the even smallest of details are captured and fully understood.  A complete full-cycle Prototype review/feedback and update process can take from 1 to 3 weeks, depending upon the project scope and complexity.  More about the PCA Application Prototype Design Process
