Service Offerings
Rex is available to help you in the following areas:
  • Training

  • I can travel to your location or provide hands-on-training via remote session tools over the internet. Training can include, but is not limited to, linking up Iron Speed Designer with a database, generating applications and performing basic code-customizations to demonstrate the concepts of Iron Speed Designer. In addition to application generation, basic instruction will be provided to show how to secure an entire application or key pages in a generated application.

  • Application Development

  • Analyze business processes and assemble a set of application requirements that can be used to build a database and produce an Iron Speed Designer generated application. Implement any code-customizations that may be required, including integrating third-party controls into the Iron Speed Designer generated application. Provide training and product assistance via the web or on site and include necessary documentation for using the generated application. System support is available 24 x 7, including weekends and holidays.

  • Data Modeling and Design

  • Evaluate business processes and objects and produce functional normalized data models. Implement the designed data model into an Object Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS).

  • Data Migration and Conversion

  • Evaluate existing Database Management Systems (DBMS). Identify and present best practices for migrating legacy data into a new Iron Speed Designer compatible database system. Perform data migration from legacy systems into new database management systems.

  • Troubleshooting and Application Completion

  • I can work along-side businesses that have implemented an Iron Speed Designer generated application but need advanced assistance with code customization or producing specialized features. If requested, I can take over development of the application and complete all outstanding requirements and correct any problems that may exist in the current design. Finally, I can iteratively test and release the application into your production environment.
