You want options and flexibility in your business software. Off the shelf packages often don't give you that and you end up trying to conform your business to the software.

Outsourcing your programming and development needs-whether that is high performance database design, customizing existing databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.)custom e-commerce solutions, or programming business specific applications - can be the most cost-effective solution. Since it is developed for your specific needs, it works the way you want and need it to. No frustrating, costly, "integration" fees. In most cases, custom applications are far less expensive than trying to adopt and adapt off the shelf software packages for the following reasons:

• They preserve current business processes which avoids interruption
• No re-training of personnel
• Eliminate the cost of customization and integration of OTS packages

3SI2 personnel have developed a variety of custom applications including:

• Shop floor control

Websites many times are responsible for the first impression your potential customers receive of your organization. How is it organized? Is it simple or high-tech? Does it try to impress or is it humble? Is it colorful and creative or straightforward? Can the customer get a quick understanding of who you are, what you do, and what type of organization you are? Is the information they want readily available to them? Just like a first impression from a personal meeting, websites are sized up within the first seconds they are visited, and those can be lasting impressions.

There are some basic rules to be followed in creating websites and their layout, but most importantly, you want your website to reflect your organization's culture and values and also target your customer base. It is, after all, the first marketing and sales information the potential customer may receive from you. You will probably never make the sale within the first 10 seconds of a sales meeting, but you can certainly lose it in that same time. The same holds true for websites.

3SI2 has developed Internet media for a variety of companies, large and small, high-tech, low-tech, services and products. We spend time with you understanding what you want your first impression to be to your customers. We send you sample layouts that seem appropriate, and together focus in on the best of those as it pertains to your website. If you require flash or sound or video, we will make sure you get all the pop and sizzle you want without severely impacting the user experience due to band-with. Technology is the easy part. Getting the website to make a good first impression and then captivate the potential customer is the real work, but also the fun stuff. That is what we want for you.
