Have you already invested considerable time and effort outsourcing a business application development project with poor results?   Are you paying an internal or outside application developer who is just not getting the job done?   Have you run out of time to deliver a critical business application?   Are you looking for an application development firm with proven success on the Microsoft business platform?   Do you need a firm you can trust to get the job done properly, on schedule and on budget?

Most contract programmers do not have the business experience to ask the right questions, challenge your assumptions, help prioritize your needs, and insure that your needs and ideas are compatible with your business objectives and budget.   Most freelance software consultants do not bring the discipline, rigor or real-world project management experience that is needed to meet critical business objectives.  And because many freelance developers tend to recommend only what they know, it's hit or miss whether the solution is actually appropriate to your needs.

PCA well understands the risks and complexities inherent to IT outsourcing application development projects and outsourcing SQL Server projects.   We are frequently called on to take over an internal or outsourced application development or outsourced SQL development project that is stuck, failing, or just growing over budget and schedule.   PCA knows how to rescue a custom application development project, and "Get It Right."

We specialize in SQL Server, .NET and custom report development project takeovers and outsourcing application development.   PCA will figure out how to succeed — regardless of the current quality or completeness of the application, or whether the original developer is available to help.  PCA experts will take your application to completeness, enhance capabilities, fix/salvage components, improve performance and ease-of-use, and extend the utility and reliability of your application.  Our experts can quickly understand the existing database structures, business logic and workflow, and extract the most business value from an existing project investment.  PCA provides trusted, knowledgeable engineers who can to quickly come up-to-speed on your custom business and application needs, and carry the project forward cost-effectively.

Once we understand your situation, the first step in a Project Takeover is to thoroughly evaluate your existing Application. You can email us the file(s), or send them FTP to our secure server. We usually require 2-4 business days to perform a technical evaluation. Our analysis covers every aspect of the application design and construction quality and completeness. Once we complete our analysis, we will schedule a phone call with you to discuss our observations and make recommendations on how best to proceed.

"Most software consultants are under-experienced, and problems only become apparent to our Clients after an important initiative falls short on features, performance and ease-of-use goals, and runs over Project budget and schedule."
