Advice and Implementation Services from Grown Ups

Vista Information Technologies offers experts in all phases of software development to help you complete your custom development project...

Not only will we make sure that the software "performs to specification", but all along the way, we'll make sure the specification does something useful and delivers a return on investment (ROI) that exceeds the cost of the project within a predictable timeframe.

Design, Analysis, and Implementation Services

Vista Information Technologies provides services for all phases of the software development life cycle:

Project Visualization

When you've got a problem and could be doing things better, but aren't quite sure how, project visualization will help you determine a number of alternative solutions.

Business Case Analysis

Does your vision make good economic sense to your business? Can you justify it to your boss? Which solution of several is optimal? All of these questions can be answered with a rigorous business case analysis.

Requirements, Design, and Architecture

No matter how talented the programmers or how rigorous the testing, a project with a flawed design will always fail. The converse is also true: well-designed projects can almost always recover from other decientcies to result is successful projects.

Implimentation

Where the rubber meets the road. Construct the code base and get it running.

Validation

Formally required for regulated environments, always required for stable software, validation exercises the software through several use cases to ensure that it "does what it is supposed to do".

Deployment

A great new product is useless until it is deployed into the organization. Installation, training, periodic maintenance procedures and implementing process changes are all part of deployment.

How We Work

One, Some, or All

Vista Information Technologies is available to provide any or all of the consultive services outlined above. We can provide your project team with a sounding board for any phase of a project. Or, if you have a staff of great application programmers, but are lacking experience in visualization, business case, or design, we can team with you to ensure that you are successful.

We are also available to take on your project in its entirety. One size does not fit all, and Vista Information Technologies is ready to find a best-fit solution.

Style

Working style is important to forming a mutually rewarding and profitable customer-vendor relationship. Read about our approach here.

Cost

Invetiably, the first question we get is, "how much will it cost?" If this question comes before we understand your requirements, the answer is always the same: "we don't know!" However, after we understand your requirements we will give you a predictable cost structure. Our first meeting is always free. We will further detail our price structure at that meeting.

We do want to make it clear at the outset that Vista Information Technologies is not the cheapest custom developer available. You will find others that promise lower hourly rates. But you may also find yourself spending many more hours with "cheaper" vendors fixing bugs in software that never really quite solves the problem. Caveat emptor!

We firmly believe that, in the long run, we are among the least expensive.
