Project Scoping
If you know your idea is strong, but you are not sure what it will cost, how long it will take to develop, or what the end product will work and look like, project scoping is how you get your answers. First, we define what you want to accomplish. Then, we design a blueprint. After we complete these two phases, and your project has a foundation, you will have a clear understanding of what you will need to budget. You will also have a design that you can vet out, hold on to and take to any software developer to complete, if you choose.

Prototyping
Prior to going all in you may want to create a “working” prototype. Whether pitching it to upper management, investors, to presenting it at a trade show, Spud has created all kinds of prototypes to mimic the final product. Clients use software prototyping to test the market, get management to buy in or investors. This can be used to present at an event, to investors or to get the results from a focus group. The prototypes can be as scaled back or full featured as needed for your situation.

Call Center Support
Customer support is our focus. Give us a call and talk with our support team. They will not only help with how to use the software, but also know and be able to explain why the software works the way it does. Our support team sits in the same room as all the developers and there isn’t any question about your software they can’t figure out. If you have process improvement suggestions they will take those down as well and compile a monthly report of suggestions / recommendations to review with management.

Consulting
We help companies document and optimize processes. Just about everything within business revolves around data and software. Our business consultants have the business knowledge, software and analytic expertise to help improve your business.
