Throughput Consulting, Inc. was founded as a Custom Software development
company. Our team has been working with advanced Microsoft languages, servers and
services since the very early 1990's. We use an Agile method of software development
that focuses on clear and concise designs with rapid delivery to the end-user. Since
we focus on Microsoft technologies, we have become experts with a deep-level of
understanding and experience.
Technical expertise is only half of the equation to insure a successful outcome
to a complex development project. We strive to obtain an intimate understanding
of the business requirements behind the technology, and the particular needs of
the end users. Through prototyping and continually soliciting end-user feedback,
the our software team will make certain they know precisely both how and why specific
applications need to be implemented. In this manner we can insure that the application
delivered is the application needed.
It is this experience and approach that allowed us to develop Bluestreak™
as a web-based SaaS application is record time - we can help you do the same! We
would be happy to meet with you to discuss new development ideas or to help out
with existing application development efforts that are stalled or need a fresh perspective.
Below are some of the Software Services we can provide.
-

Throughput Consulting is an expert in architecting, developing and deploying mission
critical software solutions. Most of our work is database-intensive, and all of
it is leading edge. Seamless integration with Microsoft front/back office solutions
is our trademark. Our expertise in technologies such as .NET, XML/XSLT, Web Services,
DHTML, AJAX, C#, Visual Basic, JavaScript, SQL Server, T-SQL, Biztalk, Microsoft

our methodology for managing the development process. We’re so sure
you’ll be pleased with our work that we offer a GUARANTEE that your application
will be free from any software defects for ONE YEAR after installation.

Business Process, Data, and Systems Integration
Not all software is web-based; some don’t even have a user interface. This
type of critical software is often used to define or encapsulate business processes
or integrate data from multiple sources and systems. Throughput Consulting has more
than two decades of experience redesigning and streamlining not only data but physical
business processes. Connecting disparate systems into one unified system is challenging,
but is also the type of rewarding business enhancement services in which Throughput
Consulting excels.
-
Technology and Software Assessments
Technology changes from day to day. Firms that specialize in areas other than technology
consulting simply can’t afford to keep up. That’s what we do –
we keep up with the pace of technological change. In order to get a handle on where
your technology stands today and where you need to take it tomorrow, you must seek
out a qualified consultant for the best advice. Throughput Consulting offers expert,
Microsoft-centric assessments for your software, network infrastructure, security
and personnel.
-
Temporary or Part-Time CIO
The CIO position at any corporation is very important and very visible. Companies
large enough to justify a fulltime CIO, often find themselves in-between CIO’s
and must spend the time required to find just the right person to fill this critical
position. Unfortunately, the business cannot stop until they find a suitable candidate,
but neither can it ignore the current IT environment. In these circumstances, we
can step in and fulfill the duties as an interim CIO. This will give the business
the time necessary to find the perfect replacement CIO, and allows the IT issues
to be appropriately handled at the same time.
Additionally, there are many companies that could benefit from the high-level
IT organization of a CIO, but cannot justify the cost of a seasoned fulltime employee.
For these companies, we can act as a part-time CIO, dedicating as much regularly
occurring time as you deem appropriate. The amount of time and regularity is completely
controlled by the needs of each company. It could range anywhere from several hours
per day to several hours per quarter. Of course, we would also be available for
any emergencies that popped up requiring immediate CIO attention.
-
Technical Team Training and Mentoring
How do you take your team of developers, proficient in your legacy application’s
care and feeding, and retool them for your next project? It is critical that you
not underestimate the time it takes to train your technical staff in the ways of
.NET. Even experienced Visual Basic and ASP programmers will be disoriented when
moving to the latest technology.
If your company is thinking of moving to the latest Microsoft technology, like .NET,
then Throughput Consulting can most certainly help transition your staff by acting
as technical mentor and assisting you in developing your training curriculum and
coding standards.
-
"Virtual Office" Design and Consulting
It’s a fact that many businesses do not need to have their employee’s
report to a central location to perform their business functions. Unless your employees
need to physically interact with equipment, machinery or customers it is entirely
possible that they can do their work from a remote location, such as their home
office.
As an employer, just imagine being able to extend your reach to attract the best
employees from a small radius, of about 45-60 driving minutes, around your physical
location to anywhere in the country or even most of the world! Just imagine how
much more productive and happy your employees would be if they had ZERO commuting
time. You have literally given the average employee 7.5 to 10 hours of EXTRA time
each week – to do with how he/she sees fit!
The technology exists today to set up “virtual offices” anywhere in
the country and have that employee be MORE connected to coworkers and mangers than
if they were physically present in an office or cubicle. If it sounds crazy, it
isn’t – it is a reality! Contact Throughput Consulting, we can help
guide your virtual company down the right paths and guarantee success – because
we have already done this ourselves. This is not simply a technology issue, there
are social and managerial issues when dealing with a virtual workforce – but
the advantages FAR outweigh the concerns.
