Solutions for the Modern Enterprise

The Foundry sells, customizes, designs and builds software and web sites.

We combine custom application development, products we've built, code we wisely re-use, and integration with existing technology to devise software solutions that drive your business forward.

We start by developing a deep understanding of your business goals. That’s why we focus on hiring people with great communication skills who work directly with you on your project. Technical skills are important: communication skills are essential.

We develop our solutions cost effectively because we have a process that balances careful analysis with rapid deployment. Unlike many methodologies, our process does not get in the way – we can adapt it to your needs.

Finally, we have technology to deploy solutions effectively. These include components that we’ve already developed, products that we have on-line and ready to use, techniques that we’ve used in the past, and third party tools that help us meet the needs of our customers.

We Add Value

Whether it means reducing your cost, increasing your revenue, or expanding your reach, we are driven by one goal: adding value to your business. We bring it to your bottom line.

• Reducing Cost through Efficiency. By streamlining your day to day processes, we can reduce the cost of your operations substantially. Examples of this include solutions that automate and track repetitive projects, generate communications, and track approval processes through workflows.Automating billing, and handling service requests.
• Expanding Revenue and Opportunities. Many of our solutions expand and build relationships with new and existing customers and vendors. Content driven websites that you can manage. Automated email campaigns to drive them to the site. Portals for customers and Vendors.
• Tracking and Reporting on Mission Critical Data. Our solutions provide up to date statistics to measure performance. Our workflow systems let managers know what projects are behind and why. Workload can be measured and scheduled. High level dashboards provide executives with historical and current information with drill-down capability.
• Reducing Development Cost Through Reuse. Our development approach reuses source code as much as possible. This saves you money and time. Many components are reusable across applications, for example a database of contacts in a CRM solution can be reused in a project management system.
• Reducing the Cost of Maintenance. The hidden cost of all software is the recurring cost of maintenance. Our solutions are server based and require little or no workstation maintenance. Patches and updates are applied once and do not need to be propagated to all of our customer’s workstations.

Our Clients

Our clients range from large organizations – including HR Block, Edward Jones, Washington University and Colliers Turley Martin Tucker – to smaller local firms. Regardless of the client’s size, The Foundry applies a project management methodology that incorporates thorough business analysis while emphasizing rapid development cycles. The Foundry’s goal is to complete projects quickly and cost-efficiently while meeting and exceeding customer expectations.
