| Because we're the best… |
It’s that simple. We have been hired over the years to clean up and fix so many other programmers’ code that it is not hard to figure where we stand in the food chain. We are the originals, the “guys” in the back room without shoes. The “guys” that think, eat and dream programming code. The ones you want on your project when you need it done correctly the first time. The ones you want when you need the project done on time within budget.
|
| Reasonable pricing |
We do our part to support your return on investment. We are extremely well versed in bringing projects in on time and in budget. Typically most of our projects are priced as fixed-price once all features have been identified. For smaller jobs our price per hour is $95.
|
| Seasoned expert level database programmers |
Even before we started APDI our programmers were working together to build online systems based on the innovative database technology at the time, which included Dbase, Clipper, Paradox and Btrive.
This vast knowledge of different database programs and techniques provides APDI a distinct advantage over any other programming firms. APDI can study projects rapidly and offer multiple solutions to the customer based on price and/or functionality.
APDI was working with development software like SQL and .NET before it became available to the public. A true programmer is an artist, and although you can send many people to school to learn art, it does not mean that they will come out and be gifted to paint.
|
| Understanding Your Business |
Part of our expertise is our ability to rapidly understand your business needs as it pertains to your programming project. We believe the programmer should be a partner in development, not an adversary. We feel we have bridged the gap between customer/programmer tribulations and communication. We bring a lot to the table that only decades of diverse programming development inspires.
|
| Virtual office work |
While it is always been the dream of many companies to become virtual, we have taken APDI into that future, now. Our staff found we were wasting valuable hours commuting to and from our office and for what? With broadband and multiple servers at home, each programmer connects to our network with all the resources of the office. This allows our programmers to work at 5am or 11pm on your project when they have solved a problem or had an inspiration to unravel a difficult task.
|
| We can Host what we build |
APDI provides a different level of hosting than many are familiar with. We run mission critical database applications so if our customers want to call us at 11pm at night, they can and we will answer. When most companies move up to a database online or a large internal application, they cannot afford to the shuffle around when they need support.

NOW TO GET A LITTLE MORE TECHNICAL...
|
| |
| Software Design and Architecture |
Complex systems require a systematic analysis of their functionality, taking every possible variable into consideration.
We have significant experience with designing enterprise software. By refining industry-accepted software design patterns, we have been successful in implementing dozens of enterprise-capable systems, even though some may only be used in small-business environments.
With over 20 years of experience in software development, we know what works and what doesn't.
|
| Web Application Development |
We were pioneers in the online business, with more than a decade of experience with building and supporting online systems, including e-commerce systems.
We have expert level expertise using .NET, J2EE, ASP, ISAPI, CGI, Perl, and other application implementation methods on IIS, Apache, and Netscape servers.
We have used a number of application servers from Tomcat to WebLogic. XML and XSLT are used throughout most applications we develop.
|
| Back-Office and Database Application Development |
When we say "Back-Office," we don't just mean that product by Microsoft. We mean any back-office system you run. Although our primary expertise is in Windows-based systems, we have significant experience with Linux, Solaris and other Unix-based operating systems.
We have been using SQL based databases since 1990. We are experts in database development for databases of all sizes and shapes.
We are familiar with a number of back-office technologies, including LDAP, MS-Message Queue, and Active Directory.
|
| Desktop Application Development |
When a standalone application is necessary for a CD-ROM product, or a small business customer, we are there to help.
We have developed several desktop applications for numerous clients who have had these special needs.
|
| Ad-Hoc Scripts and Black-Box Development Tasks |
Sometimes you don't need an entire project completed, but you need a component developed or a script written to satisfy the needs of a single customer.
These tasks typically don't take a lot of time, but diverting your resources could become more costly than to have us do the work. With proper specifications, we can turn these projects around to you quickly.
|
| Project Management |
Some development teams don't have leadership available to them to help guide them to completion of a project.
Our project management expertise can guide a development team to complete large projects efficiently. Using modifications to eXtreme Development and other rapid application development techniques, we can help bring a project to completion within your planned time constraints.
|
| Operating System Competency |
| We can design software for any main-stream operating system on the market. |
