Customized
desktop software can be a more viable alternative
than web-based solutions depending on the users, the
environment, and the application. At times there may
also be a need for a hybrid software that can
function both as a desktop application and be accessible
via the Internet. Regardless of the approach, planning
a solid software architecture that is easily scalable
while meeting the real-time demands of business challenges
is the key in the success of custom software deployment.
Austin Data Works brings our user-centered approach
to software development to ensure a successful product
launch. We employ expert usability principles
combined with custom industry research to produce
an end product that will surpass development specifications
and guidelines while easily gaining user acceptance.
In addition, all of our custom desktop applications
are scalable to web-based interaction via our proprietary
DataSync technology. This allows a seamless transfer
of data between desktop users and the web-based application.
As with any major development project, you can expect
to receive the weekly status reports to keep
you updated on the progress of development, a dedicated
project manager to handle all scheduling and client
meetings, and you can rest assured your custom software
will pass our rigorous quality assurance standards.

Client
- Texas Trees and Landscapes
Texas Trees and Landscapes has offered residential
and commercial landscape and irrigation services
since 1984.
The Challenge: Texas Trees and Landscapes
needed a way for sales representatives to prepare
bids in the field directly following a client
visit. These bids were required to use the most
recent pricing and product information, but
also allow the flexibility for a sales person
to setup custom pricing as needed. Distributing
updated catalog and pricing information was
often a timely task that was
not 100% effective.
The Solution: Austin Data Works completed
development of an Internet/Desktop managed application
that allowed sales representatives to produce
bids using their laptops while on-site with
a client. Each laptop contained the most current
information from an online database that was
loaded during their last DataSync session. The
online database was administered by an internal
officer manager. Clients automatically received
a "Thank You" email when their proposal
was uploaded which also included a link to the
client's customized proposal for online viewing.
