{e-knowa} - Consulting Services
We can help your organization with numerous software related services. We can answer your software related questions, help you overcome your concerns, and reduce some of the risks involved in software projects. Feel free to contact us, we do not operate like some consulting firms where the clock starts ticking as soon as we pick up the phone. We don't mind answering simple questions free of charge!
Consulting with ongoing projects
We can review your processes, management methodologies, design and code to make sure that your project is on track. We can make suggestions, share our expertise, and carry out a complete or partial implementation from start to end of a piece of your project to demonstrate best design and software practices.
Software Architecture & Design
Our experienced senior engineers and software architects can work with your organization to come up with simple, reliable, scalable, flexible and maintainable architectures for projects that have been kicked off. You can save time and have a piece of mind, because our engineers will set your project on track before you start any development.
Systems Integration
Although we are not a systems integrator by nature, we do provide a wide range of systems integrations services. We can install hardware, customize and deploy third party software, and integrate software systems. We take a very pragmatic and cost effective approach to systems integration, which is always a challenge for most enterprises.
Creating software development environments
Picking, installing, and learning development tools can be a difficult and long process for your IT department. We have expertise in picking the right tools, setting up hardware, installing software, building networks, configuring databases, creating backup protocols, ensuring good source control practices so that you can have a first class development environment.
Creating software development teams
We can help you with picking the right people, the single most important thing in any software project. Let us show your human resource staff how to pick technical talent, or show your project managers how to assemble the right teams for specific projects from your existing resource pool.
Feasibility, Cost/Benefit Analysis
If you are planning on starting a new software project, let our experienced engineers perform studies and give you vital information about the possible risks, the feasibility of your plans and potential costs and benefits. We can help you fully realize and understand the possibilities and options for the project being discussed.
Training your IT resources
e-knowa is a cutting edge software company that follows industry trends, tools, best practices and methodologies and applies them to its projects on a daily basis. We can not only train your organization in latest tools and technologies, but can also share our experiences so that you do not have to learn about software development the hard way. We are a small company and do not have full time trainers on our staff, therefore when you hire us for your training needs, you will be working closely with one or more of our software engineers. Our engineers often try to transfer their knowledge to a couple of your key resources, so that they can then transfer the knowledge to others in your organization. We have found out that this is a more efficient and cost effective way for almost all organizations.
Maintenance and support services
The deployment of a software project is often not the end. Your software investment must be supported, maintained, and protected long after it has been deployed. e-knowa can help you plan and create the right support and maintenance infrastructure and processes for your projects. In some cases, we can provide the support and maintenance services for you through our experiences and knowledgable IT staff so you do not have to have full time support teams within your organization.
