Custom Software
Most organizations have had experiences with technology projects that run significantly over budget and beyond the promised delivery date. Our capabilities allow us to work with you in a manner that is fundamentally different from other firms. We rely on fixed price no change order engagements to ensure our projects are completed on budget and on time. This makes us unique.
Stand-alone off the shelf software alone rarely provides the best solution. The QCI Application Development Center develops custom systems. Every system we implement is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

Cloud Solutions
Utilizing cloud environments can provide tremendous economic and system performance benefits.
Migrating to the cloud or developing cloud applications adds a level of system complexity. There are many cloud options from which to select, and cloud service providers make the process of evaluating options confusing for anyone not working in this area every day. We will help you understand your cloud options to support the selection of the best service for your situation.
We design, architect, build, and deploy cloud solutions across several platforms:
AWS
Our Application Development Center supports a wide variety of AWS features and services: EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, VPC, SNS, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, Auto Scaling, IAM, and more.
Azure
The QCI Application Development Center also supports Azure: Media Services, SQL Database, Cloud Hosting, Application Insights, and more.
Google Cloud
In addition to our AWS and Azure services, we also provide broad support for the Google Cloud Platform.
We can architect your new system for the cloud and we can migrate your existing systems to a new cloud environment.

Our approach, which is fundamentally different from other firms, demonstrates our expertise. Our approach has supported our success.
Most organizations have experienced bait and switch software projects where the actual costs, driven by hours of effort, are substantially greater than what was estimated. Firms that propose supporting your project using an hourly rate are shifting the risk to you, and they are signaling their lack of confidence/expertise/experience.
We take responsibility for learning the detailed requirements that drive system decisions – this is not the same as getting a basic understanding of your organization.
With our resulting detailed understanding of your organization, combined with our expertise and experience, we set a fixed – no change order price. We shift the cost risk to QCI by structuring relationships that don't allow for our clients to experience cost overruns.
Organizations depend on their core business systems to support their quote-to-cash processes. This drives bottom line value. Stand-alone off the shelf software alone rarely provides the best solution. The best solution that goes beyond an off-the-shelf ERP, CRM MRP or WMS system. Because of our deep expertise and our approach you do not have to be constrained by a software package.
Working as a team, we have supported our clients for over 20 years. We use our deep understanding of your business to support you into the future.
