Turning Your Business Vision into Digital Reality
At Pocket Knife Software, we measure our value in terms of how well we translate our clients' visions and inspiration into optimal business software. With over 25 years of experience, our goal is to make it as easy for you as possible, many times discerning the appropriate programming solution and ultimate application after one discovery session. Simplifying the complex is our specialty.
As a trusted strategic partner, we learn your business, understand your goals and objectives, and — most importantly — help you overcome challenges and exploit opportunities on an ongoing basis. Our proven, flexible approach gives us the ability to craft solutions that adjust and scale to your evolving needs and expectations.
Your ongoing business success is the driving force behind everything we do.
Analysis
We approach the development process organically, learning as much as possible about your business needs first, then applying our experience and expertise to provide initial (and ongoing) recommendations. We don't develop to hard requirements, we develop to an understanding of your business needs and expectations. This is a critical differentiator, as we create a more effective development process. One that allows us to collaborate with clients in more human terms and deliver solutions in a fraction of the time.
Engineering
Whether creating a new application or modifying a legacy system, we design-engineer each solution to ensure flexibility and maximum budget optimization. In our experience, crafting the right solution requires a certain amount of trial and error. Our engineering process typically includes giving clients an opportunity to test drive beta versions of any or all aspects of our solutions — a critical success factor that allows us to discover enhancement opportunities and ensure that we are meeting expectations.
Programming
Our dexterity with programming languages combined with our creative, out-of-the-box thinking gives us the ability to develop streamlined solutions that adjust and scale as your needs and expectations grow. With many years of multi-dimensional development for some of the world's most demanding clients we have honed this process down to a fine art — where flexibility ensures success and optimization of our clients’ budgets. Each solution is developed so that changes and updates are fast and affordable.
Programming Languages:
Ruby on Rails, HTML, C, SQL, AJAX, Javascript, CGI-Perl, UNIX Shell Script
Technologies and Applications:
Subversion, Apache, Mongrel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, gcc, gdb, bash, cvs, Emacs, UNIX (Linux, BSD, Solaris, Ultrix, AIX, HPUX), UNIX Firewall construction (BSD, Linux)
Support
At Pocket Knife Software, we take pride in knowing our clients not only see us as trusted technology partner, but as a true competitive advantage. We guarantee our solutions will work as expected and provide thorough ongoing support of our software. We ensure success with the system as it is created and success in efficiently and cost-effectively modifying and/or updating as required. And unlike many software developers, we can and will fix problems created by programmers (other than Pocket Knife) modifying our code.
