It's Not Just The Technology

...that determines the success of a project.

What's the use of a Ferrari... if you're driving in a school zone?
Would you build a beautiful house... with no front steps?
"You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going... because you might not get there." - Yogi Berra, baseball catcher (1925-present)

Expertise Matters

We frequently get phone calls asking 'do you work with ....' (fill in the blank; java, php, .net, sharepoint, mobile devices, etc).

In fact, the technology is not the most important factor in software development provider selection - what matters much more is that you are solving the right problem.

While each technology does have its pros and cons, and there can be legitimate reasons to have pre-selected a technology, the most common reasons for failure of software projects are not related to the technology, but related to problems in the scoping, requirements definition or the project management processes.

That is where Open Box stands far above the crowd; scoping, requirements definition and project management. We make sure you get a system and technology that help move your business forward.

Having said all that, we are experts in certain technologies:

Asp.net web applications
.net windows applications
Ofbiz & Open Taps development and customization
SQL Server database development
MySQL database development
PHP web applications
Joomla development
Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise development

Beyond those, we have worked with a number of other technologies as add-ons to the core project (AS400s, Lansa, MS Access, MS Excel, etc, etc, etc).

We have also worked building integration plug-ins and/or add-ons to other commercial software products, including SoftwareCEO, ECRS's Catapult, Simply Accounting, CSi Software, Microsoft CRM, Scribe software, SigmaPro, DotNetNuke and a variety of previously written in-house applications.

What we really want to focus on is making sure you have the right technology for your business needs so that we are delivering solutions that will make your business better.

Credentials and expertise do matter, and our development and technical team have a large number of certifications from BSc, BEng, MCS, BSc, MCP, MCSE, MCDBA, MCAD, MCSD.NET.
