System Design
— Successful design and development of comprehensive business systems
requires a structured methodology, experienced analysts who can bridge the
information gap between functional users and technical programmers, and
utilization of prototyping techniques to insure functionality and minimize
overall design and development time. Centrec can provide all three of those
components, either working in concert with your internal systems department
or directly with the ultimate users of the system.
Software Evaluation and Implementation
— With the ever expanding number of software products available, many
clients need assistance in evaluating and implementing the appropriate mix
of off-the-shelf and custom software packages to meet their specific needs.
Centrec can help by matching your needs with applications in the more
traditional group of client/server products and office productivity suites,
as well as for specialized agribusiness applications such as grain
accounting, merchandising, GIS, and agricultural credit analysis.
Application Customization/Development
— We can approach the development of custom applications in
two ways. First, we can customize existing software such as database
management, spreadsheet, or even word processing programs using native
programming languages to automate and improve the integrity of recurring
functions. The second is to use rapid application development (RAD) tools
to efficiently develop stand-alone applications. In either case, our goal
is to build enhancements that work in a seamless fashion within your
existing software environment.
Data Modeling and Visualization — The world is awash
with data; some good, some bad, some useful, some useless. We have the
expertise and tools to separate the “wheat from the chaff” and extract the
maximum value from your data. Results can be delivered as static
visualizations as part of presentations or printed materials, or through the
use of interactive models that allow datasets to be examined over time.
