Most of our programmers have a Masters Degree in Computer Science, have successfully passed Microsoft and other industry certifications, and have at least 5-10 years of experience in software engineering. To remain knowledgeable about the latest developments in computer technology, and in order to deliver the best possible solutions, Ampersand International partners and joins alliances with the industry leaders including Microsoft, Dialogic, Palm and Openwave.
You will be pleasantly surprised to find out that the highest quality of software engineering work offered by our company does not come at a premium price. Our rates are competitive and in many cases are significantly lower than what other consulting companies may be charging you. Please feel free to shop around!
Many consulting companies function as recruiters: they simply place programmers with their clients. The result in many cases is frustrating: once the consultant is gone, no one can support the program. Our approach is different. Ampersand International, as a company, takes full responsibility for the project at all the stages from the initial scope definition to post-production support.
Most software projects have uncertainties. We do our best to reduce such uncertainties by preparing detailed requirements specifications, doing thorough design, prototyping and estimation. We address and resolve the most critical questions at early stages of development. In many cases we offer fixed-priced quotes to ensure predictable project budgets.
We strongly believe that good design documentation is an essential part of any software project. It not only directs the software engineering process, but also significantly helps in program maintenance and future version updates.
Although we do our work primarily off-site, we involve our customers in the decision making process at all stages of the project by submitting design documentation and progress reports, by arranging design meetings and phone conferences and by providing access to our on-line Issue Logs.
Most of our business traditionally comes from existing customers. We are proud of this fact. We value long-term alliance relationships. This obviously works both ways, as our customers are confident that they can always rely on timely, quality help from our company.
