Our Greatest Hits (Volume 1)

 
We’ve been creating blog posts since back in 2021 and I think we’ve created a lot of useful content over the years. So, I thought it might be fun to go back over some of our greatest hits. If you’re too young to remember vinyl then you may want to check out this Wikipedia entry. So, off we go… I wanted to start with one I think may be quite valuable since you’re already reading our blog. Back in February 2022 we talked about Outsourced vs In-House Software Development and why you might choose one or the other. That can be super useful as you try to figure out the path forward for your development project. Of course you can always call me at 202 540 0002 anytime if you need further insight or want my personal take on your situation.

If you’re wondering what a project manager does, the answer is a lot! Check out Confessions of a Project Manager from October 2022 to find out how our amazing project managers create the magic against the background of never-ending requests. Our dedicated project managers are one of the key differentiators at Coretechs. Many software development houses harken more to the “Body Shop” model. They simply rent out developers and hope you’ll have enough insight to get value out of the developer. However, without a project manager in between who fully understands what you need and can turn that into “developer speak” to get it done quickly and efficiently that often goes awry.

 
On the other side of the fence, figuratively speaking, are our developers. Earlier this year we dug into that with Confessions of a Coretechs Developer. Our developers are, simply put, amazing! Unlike some traditional shops our developers work across multiple language environments. So, they might have Python/Django as their go to language but be quite comfortable working in PHP or Perl when the need arises. This comes up more often than you think as some of our clients have platforms as varied as Python, Grails, PHP and .Net, all under one roof, and need help managing and supporting that weighty blended environment.

Finally, I wanted to touch on our core mantra. How We Help Businesses Grow Through Custom Software from July 2023. This one digs into the true value you get from Custom Software. Most every industry has a few COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) offerings that may provide an adequate solution for many businesses. Depending on the size of your company, the number of staff you have and the per seat pricing model this could be a good solution for you. However, if your needs stray from what’s available in a generic solution, you want to fully own your system and you know what’s needed to revolutionize your industry then, if you can imagine it, we can build it!
