SharePoint can be a very complex platform, and customising it well often means paying for a full time SharePoint expert, even for the easier parts of the project. The complexity of SharePoint means that most service providers will only work on an hourly basis, with a significant risk of going over budget. We have several ways of doing things differently.
Direct contact with an expert
We have no non-technical staff - only technical experts who are also comfortable
working with the business. This avoids a lot of delays and miscommunication -
anyone you talk to can discuss both the technical solution and the commercial
arrangements. Although some tasks will be done by other developers, you have one
technical contact who takes full responsibility for the project.
Fixed Price
As our name implies we specialise in fixed price services. Once you decide what
you need from your SharePoint solution, you know exactly how much it will cost.
Best practice development
We expect our clients to keep using our services in future. So as not to make
things difficult for ourselves, we make sure our code will still look good a
year after deployment. We have more experience with best practice development
than anyone - one of our counsultants built the WSPBuilder Visual Studio
extensions when there weren't any tools for doing SharePoint development in a
consistent way.
Brutal Honesty
Our focus is on getting stuff done. If what you are trying to do isn't going to
work, we'll tell you now, not after billing you for six months work.
