At VCSN we believe in using the right tools to complete the tasks in your daily routine. This concept applies to technology as well. Sometimes when you purchase software you find that it is not exactly what you needed. Other times, you feel as though you need a PhD just to figure out how to print your data. As your business grows this will happen more frequently. In fact, over a relatively short amount of time, you can spend THOUSANDS of dollars in software that is really not the right "tool" for you to use for your business. In addition to that, support for some of these applications can be expensive which leads people to either to not purchase support options and run the risk of having a problem that can not be solved in house or spending the money on contracts that do not "fit" your organization. For these reasons, VCSN does applications development using HTML clients and servers that will be tailored to your business. We write applications that give you the right tool to use for business. As a result, your organization's productivity will increase while decreasing the total cost spent on maintaining/upgrading and troubleshooting the software tools used daily by your organization. Some of the feature of our internet / intranet applications are: 1) Standard Interface: we use HTML browsers freely available to deliver a consistent look to your applications weather you are using Windows PC's, Macintoshs or Unix workstations. 2) Upgradable: since we develop your application to your specifications you determine when there needs to be an upgrade. No longer do you have to worry about losing support contracts for having "old software" or affecting corporate productivity because the "new" version is incompatible with some other application you use. 3) Expandable: as your business grows, we can grow your application to include new modules. This means that as you take on new areas of business (or revamp old ones), VCSN will be with you making the necessary changes to keep your tools working at 100%. 4) Total Support: forget about trying to find a support package that makes sense. After we have your application up and running, you are not on your own. VCSN will be there to support you if technical problems arise. We customize our packages are you so that you know exactly what you kind of support you are getting. 5) Training: we can come on site to train your staff in how to use your application. This will prevent the "yelling over the cubical for help" problem. All your staff will be trained at one time so that no is leftout. We also can "train the trainers" so that your own staff can support the application internally. 6) Distributable: not only can your application be distributed amongst many servers or servers in other branches but at some point you may want part or all of your application available on the internet for customers and/or public use. VCSN can host this part of your application easily if you are already connected to our network. Before you decide to invest your money into a generic application, we encourage you to talk to a VCSN representative about creating a tool that will fit 100% of what your business needs to accomplish. You will find that your employees will become less stressed and more productive- which are two goals not so easily solved in today's world.
