Delivering What You Need
 |
Even if your business has nothing to do with software, chances are, you
are using computers in some way. This is typically done for one of
two reasons: reducing costs or increasing sales.
Understanding your marketplace is key to your success, but what is also
relevant is understanding what is possible from a technical perspective.
If you don't know that there's a widget out there which does what you want, you can waste a lot of money hiring someone to make such a widget. On the other hand, just because something is possible doesn't mean it's right for you. The real value in software comes from understanding enough about the problem so that a cost-effective solution can be created. My job is not simply to do whatever you ask, but to ensure that you are getting the greatest value for your money. I will endeavor to understand your issue so that a solution will be created that is of the highest quality and is the cheapest to maintain over the long term. I will try to come up with alternatives that you may not have thought of, and discuss them in terms of pros and cons, so that you have some real options. |
