SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Perceptive Development provides custom software development. Our range of skills is extremely wide. If it's a current OS or platform, we probably use it.

We develop proprietary technology for customers that need to add valuable and patentable solutions to their IP portfolio. Customers with innovative and insightful ideas for adding unique value to their technology sector can benefit from Perceptive Development's experience. Let us help you develop the trade-secret "sauce" for your technology offering, with full work for hire rights assignment and trustworthy protection of your source code under non-disclosure agreements.

We use and improve open source technology when customers don't want to reinvent the wheel, and when there exists a suitable codebase upon which to base a cost-effective solution. Often the software that a customer wants is already in existence, perhaps in a slightly different format. Perceptive Development has experience locating and re-purposing these technologies, and using them to develop faster solutions.

We have the talent to develop just about any software given enough time. We like projects that challenge us. Just a handful of technologies in our portfolio:

Internet Video (Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, Real Media, MPEG-4)
Wireless applications and infrastructure
Large-scale remote video monitoring
Custom graphical user interfaces
Human-computer interface
Audio user interfaces
2D & 3D graphics
Stereoscopic display technology
"Rich Internet Applications" in AJAX, Flash, Actionscript, and Silverlight
Peer-To-Peer networking
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol, i.e. Internet telephony)
Loosely coupled media server clustering

If we can't develop the software, we can integrate a solution. Some projects just need to be assembled from building blocks and then stuck together with the right glue. Even if it's an unlikely combination of pieces, Perceptive Development can build you a successful product.

HOW WE WORK

Perceptive Development can help you discover your requirements. Some technical customers have a very specific project specification, and are simply looking for engineers to execute that specification. Other customers know their business and have an idea of what they want technically, but really need the additional help of an experienced software manager. Perceptive Development can deal with both of these customers, working out the requirements for the project and the ingredients of the solution.

Perceptive Development can manage your dynamic requirements. Engineering, and software in particular, can be extremely difficult to execute in a cost- and time-controlled manner. Requirements can change suddenly in the middle of the project, threatening delivery schedules. While there is no "magic bullet" that solves these woes or prevents them from happening, Perceptive Development promises to work as hard as possible to solve what comes up and make the project work for everyone.

Perceptive Development communicates well. We understand how important it is to know exact project status, at any given time. Success depends on all the pieces falling into place, and Perceptive Development is responsible for one of those pieces. We have open communication lines (phone, email) and we're very accessible. We believe that more effective communication on projects means better success.

Perceptive Development is simple. Perceptive Development is an honest, straightforward and straight-shooting company. We don't try to wow you with acronyms and technology; we try to wow you with a successfully completed project. And we don't sugarcoat the truth when projects have difficulties. Perceptive Development communicates honestly, forthrightly and promptly about any obstacles that need to be overcome during the development process.

Perceptive Development understands its role in your success. We know that we play a role in the success of your organization. If we produce for you, then you can do the same for your organization, and we all win.
