Strengths
|
||
| VVS Inc. believes that a company's strengths are not just measured by historical technical accomplishments. We believe that there are many important strengths that, combined, result in success. We believe our strength flows from three distinct areas: Interpersonal Strengths, Technical Strengths, and Special Subject Area Expertise. | ||
| Interpersonal Strengths
|
||
| Listening | Many consulting companies have the "solution" ready before you have even described the problem you need solved. VVS Inc., as an element of our basic company fabric, listens to its customers. This key strength is one of the reasons our clients are happy with the results we provide. We don't push our agenda or spin. We listen. | |
| Dialog | We provide our clients with a clear understanding of proposed solutions before we start. If we have questions, we are not afraid to ask. We also provide a working relationship that makes our clients comfortable asking questions as well. While it may sound simplistic, it is a rare trait for an expert consultancy to consistently embrace dialog to insure clarity of communications throughout its engagements. | |
| Communication | Our staff of experts share a common strength. We can communicate. We recognize that different groups of people with different backgrounds may need different forms of communication based on their perspective. Our experienced staff can comfortably share and gather information with your staff. Our staff is fluent in "geek," "sales," "operations," "accounting," and many other specialized languages that exist in your company. | |
| Problem Solving | Some of our clients have known exactly what they want. Others just know what the problem is but not how to solve it. We provide experience with both types of situations. Our systems analysts listen, explore your problems and provide you with a choice of solutions before you need to commit. This provides you with the best solution value for your company. | |
| Documentation |
We provide our clients with complete documentation as part of an engagement. The documentation provides the link from the idea to the solution. This "paper trail" provides you with the information you need as the system grows and needs to be integrated into other business systems. It will provide information that allows others to understand, maintain, and extend the original system. To the extent applicable, we also provide training documentation so that the tools/applications can be shared with trainers and users. This important documentation provides you with resource you need to teach your staff how to use the system the way you intended them to use it. |

| Technical
Strengths
|
||
| Interface Development | We provide extensive experience building, augmenting, and fixing web based user interfaces and their back end execution to achieve the desired user interaction. We build any combination of simple, complex, context aware, and wizard based interfaces. | |
| Data Migration | We have completed many different complicated data migrations. Some examples include porting CRM data from 'ORACLE Financials' to 'Clarify'. Others include translating cable system billing and operations from one system to another. Whether it is a simple transformation or cross linking of multiple data systems, our staff can provide you with very clean conversions. | |
| Data Mapping | We have significant experience sync'ing systems that don't share foreign keys. Simple examples include business systems that have entries for users, customers, or products. We match items between systems, creating common keys, and then synchronize the systems. If you need to combine multiple business systems into a single integrated view, let us help you make the connections. | |
| Filtering | We have significant experience pulling data from external systems and filtering the data into useful information. | |
| Data Transfer | We have built very robust systems for transferring private information globally using TCP/UDP based protocols both multicast and unicast. Our experience includes satellite, broadband, narrow band, and phoneCast. | |
| Databases | There are many different types and brands of databases. We have extensive experience with LDAP, SQL based, and file based systems from many manufacturers. We have built systems containing each type and combinations of them. Our experience of integrating the different types of databases provides you with more options and experienced resources. | |
| Business Resource Management | We have many years of experience helping companies manage their resources using custom tools, branded solutions, and even adhoc systems. We can help you with applications requiring management of people, computers, resources, information, inventory, and sales activity, as well as ticket tracking, time tracking, and much more. Our experience allows us to help you use either stand alone systems or hybrids that pull information from you existing business systems. | |
| Project Methodology | We have honed a software development methodology over the years. Our methodology is effective and provides results at a reasonable cost. Most importantly, there are no surprises for our clients. | |
| Coding Expertise | PERL, JAVA, JavaScript, HTML, XML, JSP, SQL, and much more | |
| Teaching | We provide our clients with teaching and coaching staff who can work with your staff to create a methodology for your company's development and lifecycle deployment of software business systems. We know that no one methodology fits all. Our staff will work with you to define, create, and implement your methodology so it becomes part of your company's culture. | |
| Special
Subject Area Expertise
|
||
| Telecom | We have provided extensive support for companies in the telecom industry. Our experience provides you with access to our in-depth understanding of the problems and business systems needed for provisioning, operations, and reporting. | |
| Rich Media | We have built solutions that integrate with DAM, DRM, and content transfer on a global basis. We understand the issues and solutions to asset management cataloging, search, control, rights, transfer, and display. | |
| Cable Systems | We have participated on cable system conversions that have included customers, products, packages, equipment, AR, AP, trouble tickets, headends, schedules, and much more. Conversions have also included significant systems analysis and data migration coding. | |
| Data Cataloging | We have provided our clients with technology that allows them to catalog and maintain up to data information in systems that allow reuse across many heterogeneous business systems. Our experience addresses adding new information, updating existing information, removing old information, common mappings across systems, relationships between catalog elements, and hierarchies of categories. | |
| Asset Management | We have years of experience tracking assets. Assets come in many forms including people, physical assets, intellectual property, and meta-infomation. We understand the issues and challenges including security, limited access, tracability, and confidentiality. | |
