When I look at the many companies we’ve provided software consulting services to over the years, I see two groups: those who know what they want and know how they want us to do it, and those who know what they want and want us to figure out how to do it. We’re all too happy to help both groups achieve their end goals; however, our engineers really shine when we hand them the latter—they love a good challenge.

We’ve got an office full of talented people. No matter the constraint—whether technological or budget—put the project in front of them, and they’ll leverage their experience to develop an innovative solution.

Here’s a true story. A company built a carrier-grade automatic call distribution (ACD) system on Microsoft Windows, but hadn’t taken failover or high availability into consideration. They arrived at MapleWorks’ doorstep in need of a unique perspective on how to deliver this functionality. We came up with an innovative solution and delivered the functionality required.

Another true story. A company that developed network management software didn’t have the resources to build labs to test the software. They were in need of fresh ideas to accomplish the task. We helped the company “simulate” the environments, which not only saved them millions of dollars in capital expenditures, the innovative solution reduced the time it took to do the required testing.

When you outsource a software development project to MapleWorks, you are getting much more than the end product—you are getting the added value that comes with a team that can leverage combined years of experience to deliver innovative solutions that achieve goals.
