Product development
Saturn builds custom software solutions using best of the available technologies. Saturn can design and build an appropriate solution and deliver a quality software product, whether your software need is a concept, or you have a fully documented design specification. And by using our software development infrastructure, you can offload software product development and make more effective use of resources in your organization.
Saturn builds products that incorporate all phases of well-designed, manageable software solutions including product definition, planning, design, coding, release management, quality assurance testing, training, deployment, and support.
We deliver what you need - High quality hassle free software
Saturn’s custom software products are designed to mesh with your business practices. We deliver both installable products ready for your production environments and source code, allowing your staff to support and grow the technology.
We provide what you need - Practical & appropriate technology solutions
“Buzz-word” technology often fails to solve business problems. It may not fit your business practices. It may not deliver the information the way you would like. It may cost too much because of a multitude of unwanted features. At Saturn we understand that technology is a tool used to solve business problems. To be a successful tool, the technology has to be appropriate and at the required quality level. Saturn uses prototypes to test technology assumptions and test implementation viability. This insures that the resulting product is practical to implement and support, while laying the foundation to accommodate future technology change.
We do what you need - Planning, developing, documenting, supporting and training
Saturn builds custom software to meet the requirements of our clients. This software is designed to work in critical production environments and forms a solid foundation for future growth. Because we are involved in the planning of technology, development of systems and provide on-going support services, Saturn is in a unique position to help our clients realize the full potential of technology in providing effective business solutions. Even if you did not have the advantage of Saturn in a technology management consulting capacity, the thoroughness of our implementation process will result in practical strategies that will form solid foundations for your business.
Technology is only part of the solution. Success relies on effective policies/procedures, training, and your staff’s ability to use the technology tools. We provide documentation and training to client development and support staffs to enable them to maintain, support and grow the applications which Saturn develops. With Saturn’s “whole patient” approach, technology can effectively solve your business problems.
We understand technology - Its strengths and weaknesses
To make technology work effectively you need to fully understand the capabilities and limitations of the technology. Building solutions which take advantage of the strengths of a technology while containing the limitations is important. Coupling well designed technology with reasoned policies and procedures, insures effective use of technological solutions.
Saturn has a breadth of knowledge of technology that is critical to the success of most client/server, Internet or intranet projects. Our knowledge of networks, databases, systems and security provides us with the experience to avoid problems and implement stable product solutions in aggressive time frames. When faced with unknowns, our prototyping methodologies allow us to identify risk areas and determine appropriate pathways that insure successful completion of our project activities.
We understand the requirements of production systems
We understand the requirements of a robust, reliable environment. Saturn has been involved in designing systems that maintain high-availability and fault-resiliency. Additionally, we have been active in helping our clients design effective disaster recover strategies for their business. We have tools and toolkits.
We have invested in advanced development environments to provide our engineering staff with the tools they need to maximize productivity. Saturn has also built an extensive set of toolkits that solve common low-level technology needs. We license the delivered toolkits royalty-free to our clients. These practices allow us to meet aggressive project time frames and keep project costs down.
Dependable resource
Throughout Saturn’s years, we have been available to our clients when they need us. For new project work or during staff shortages, Saturn is available to jump in and help you meet challenges. We work with our clients to plan our own obsolescence in a project. We help you become self-sufficient by a transfer of technology to your staff.
