Rapid, Value-Driven Custom Software Development

One Man   Greetings, I’m Jonathan ‘Wolf’ Rentzsch. My passion is software.
 
Focus   Based on years of experience, I’ve learned my clients are delighted by rapid, value-driven development:

Rapid
Due to a format change, Three Plus Marketing’s custom catalog indexing solution needed to be rewritten. They knew what was involved. Weeks of work and thousands of dollars. After all, that’s what it took last time.

Fortunately, they called me.

Four hours after I turned their doorknob, they had a new system in production. I came back once more to add a feature, bringing the project’s total time to eight hours — well under one thousand dollars.

Value-Driven
David L. Jacobson & Associates priced out a time-tracking package to better account for the time they bill their architectural clients. It cost thousands of dollars and did far more than they needed.

I quickly identified their basic needs, and concentrated on them with laser focus. The software was delivered in two working days, saving them thousands of dollars.

Agile
I eschew big-design up-front development. I believe in getting real, working software into the user’s hands as quickly as possible. Then, together, we can start adding the highest-value features to the foundation, all the while the software is already paying for itself.
