| | How do you evaluate the experience and competence of your software vendors?
Does your vendor have expertise in the tools required?
Did you know that knowing how to use the tools is not enough?
Does your vendor actually have formal design and development training and experience?
You wouldn’t trust your corner garage mechanic to design and build a world-class car so you shouldn't trust your next software project to anything less than the professionals.
At Creative Foundry we have assembled a group of world-class talent to focus on your needs. Many competitors utilize a team of developers that have come from disciplines irrelevant to the software development world including business, education, and liberal arts or unrelated engineering disciplines. They are often not formally trained in software development techniques but proclaim that they have several years of experience developing web applications. Even worse, they proclaim to be self taught software developers learning to write software through “on the job training”. They often hide behind various “Microsoft Certifications” which show their understanding of the nuts and bolts of an application but limiting your knowledge to the nuts and bolts does not qualify you to design a car. This is not the best recipe for success nor does it typically provide cost effective, robust, scaleable and maintainable solutions for a client. Often times, it ties the client to a specific vendor for future upgrades due to poor design and documentation or increases the cost of considering other vendors.
Our team members have formal degrees in Computer Science or relevant fields such as Computer or Electrical Engineering. All team members have been working as professionals in the software development industry with specific experience in web and e-business applications throughout their entire careers. Our team has well over a combined 65 years of relevant software development experience with almost half of the team having 10+ years each. This formal training combined with years of real life experience means that our team uses rigorous design, development and testing methodologies required to develop reliable, maintainable, well documented and cost effective solutions to compete in today’s global marketplace.
Numbers are not the only way to look at our experience. Our team members come with relevant project experience for both large and small projects alike. Take a look at our team below and see the depth and diversity of experience that the members can bring to your projects.
