Smart Client Application Prototypes

Prototypes are the starting point of PCA's custom database solution design-build process.  Prototypes provide PCA and our Clients with a simple, visual means to communicate and verify new application capabilities, layout, workflow and overall ease-of-use requirements.
The outcome of the Prototype Design phase — confidence that the solution is well-aligned with key operational needs, a properly scoped project with reliable budget and schedule estimates, and source-code to drive the Development Phase.

At the outset of a new project, PCA can have the same 3 key questions you do: What is the optimal solution? What will it cost, and how long will it take?  Prototypes provide a very efficient and inexpensive means to get good answers to these 3 essential questions — removing the project mystery and risk up-front.  Absent a definative engineering framework which you approve, your project budget and schedule estimates are based upon the problem (your current system), not the solution, and there is a big difference!
PCA always re-uses 100% of the Prototype code during the Development Phase, so there are no disconnects, and we make good progress on your project during the intial design and planning phase.  Accurate and Efficient, with No Waste — That's the PCA Prototype Methodology.
