Project Summary

DevCom supported a software firm over a 16-year engagement to build around nine custom applications—covering medical, point-of-sale, employee-tracking and other sectors—using C++, C#, Microsoft SQL and HTML. The applications have strong technical quality and security, many scoring 99%, and DevCom delivered reliably with regular reporting and responsive communication.

Key Challenges

Needed additional development resources
Difficulty finding qualified local C++/Pascal developers in the US in early phases
Need for long-term maintainable, secure applications that remain compatible with evolving platforms

Project Deliverables

Approximately 9 custom applications
Web-based PC scheduler application
Medical office application
Point-of-sale application
Employee tracking application
Mobile and tablet versions of existing apps

Project Solution

Over a 16-year relationship, DevCom developed around nine custom applications for the client, taking client-provided designs and algorithms and implementing them. The team worked directly with the client's project managers and programmers in Ukraine, received mock-ups via Balsamiq, and communicated through Skype. Deliverables included web-based PC applications (for example a scheduler) and conversions of many applications to smartphone and tablet versions; development used C++, C#, Microsoft SQL and HTML among other technologies.

Project Outcome

Most products achieved a 99% score
Applications remain compatible with modern platforms (e.g., run on Windows 10 without modification)
Strong security with unique components not found in competitor applications
Regular reporting and on-time delivery with responsive communication
