Service Offerings

Herman is available to help you in the following areas:
  • Application Development & Troubleshooting
    Presence Consulting is ready to assist you in the full software development life cycle. This includes examining the business process, gathering requirements, and translating that into a sound technical design, including development, testing, and deployment. Our specialty is in Microsoft .NET technologies; we can help you reap the maximum benefits of utilizing Iron Speed Designer.

    Presence Consulting has Iron Speed Designer hands-on experience that goes back as far as V2.X, so we have the know-how to help you implement “the solution” and efficiently incorporate necessary code customizations. In addition, to enhance usability, look, and feel, we can integrate a number of third-party controls, for example, Dundas Chart and Infragistics.

    We are committed to high quality and firmly believe in thorough testing.

  • Data Modeling, Database Design, and Performance Tuning
    It is indisputable that a solid database design serves as one of the most important foundations of an application. Our strength is two-fold: we study the existing business process to formulate a good, normalized database design, and we evaluate the current database model to make appropriate modifications. We can also help you fine-tune your databases.
  • Business Process & Forms Management
    How do you deal with field workers who need to submit data in an offline environment? Or business users who only want to work with MS Word-like forms?

    Corporations are piled with forms for regulatory, compliance, operational, checks and balances reasons. Presence Consulting has a solution to make the process and data storage more efficient by using Microsoft InfoPath and SQL Server. We have experience developing complicated forms, including Master/Detail inventory forms to store data appropriately in our normalized database for reporting and trend analysis.

    We also have a framework developed that allows users to store forms locally during offline inspection, and then submit saved forms when a connection becomes available.

  • Project Management
    As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), my development team and I adhere to project management best practices, and have led a number of successful projects. We help our clients steer projects back on track, re-define scope and prioritize action items. We have a solid understanding of critical path/PM methodologies and are proficient in MS Project. This enables us to help our clients visualize and predict project progress. We also assist clients in exploring the flexibility in task sequencing to shorten project time frame and bring their project in or under budget.
