Advantages of the Custom Development Approach

Savings Because we have already done the work to create the core functionality of many applications, clients save money on development hours. We don’t have to start from scratch! This allows us to focus on the features that you actually need and will really use, not spend time and money developing and implementing a lot of features that may never be utilized in your daily operations. We will work within your budget to develop an application that meets as many of your needs as possible.

Experience Our programmers' diverse experience in building solutions for many types of clients, from utilities and local governments to commercial businesses to education, gives them the ability to quickly understand clients' needs and build a system that really suits their needs.

Functionality Clients get a system that does exactly what they want without a lot of other functions that are confusing or that will never be used.

Speed to Production Clients get a system that can be rapidly implemented. We’ve already got the building blocks of these applications and the necessary “engines” that run them. When you get one of our custom applications it’s like getting a “from scratch” application, but takes only a fraction of the time to develop and implement.

Examples of CMC Custom Solutions by Client Type

State, Local & Utility

• Contract management and tracking - utility
• Water/sewer connection management system - local governmental agency
• Guardianship forms management system - local government

Commercial Businesses 

• Transportation, sales and order management system - food distributor
• Back office automation - executive networking company

Education

Web-based class/student management - montessori school system 

What are some of the situations where clients have chosen a CMC solution as the best option to meet their needs?

• Client’s timeframe for implementation was short and critical.
• Client had multiple custom needs that could not be found in a pre-packaged solution.
• Client had custom needs that would have greatly exceed its budget if implemented by one of the large enterprise system providers.
• Client had a set of needs that were very customized and were small in number, but that were critical to the operations of its organization and to meeting compliance standards.
• Client was unable to find a pre-packaged solution that effectively met its needs, and client could not afford, either in time or budget, to implement a large enterprise system.

Can’t we just implement one of the large enterprise solutions, or one of their modules?

Of course you can, and if after speaking to you about your needs, we think that you would get more benefit from either a larger solution, or a smaller pre-packaged solution, we will tell you so.
