You don't need to prepare anything before asking for a proposal - just call and PGD Technologies will ask questions to determine what is needed from you to create a proposal. Usually it will be whatever technical documentation, specifications, and design documents you have. Access to your project team members for answering questions is essential.

An estimate of your project can sometimes be made by doing a cursory investigation of the requirements. Estimates are usually only accurate to a factor of three or so.

An estimate is designed to give you a rough idea of what the project will cost. A proposal shows you how the project will be done, when it will be done, and will provide a cost that you can use for financial planning purposes.

First, information is gathered about the proposed product through examining prior software, existing specifications, and by interviewing project team members at your company. All the information gathered is then analyzed and the project is broken down into smaller components which are estimated separately. Follow up questions are asked, and past similar projects are used for costing guidelines.

1) PGD Technologies puts each candidate through a rigorous screening process before they join the team; otherwise you would have to do most of the screening.
2) PGD Technologies knows who is the right engineer for each project component; you would have to be able to hire the right range of skills, and may not be able to get them in the same person.
3) PGD Technologies can provide a range of services by pulling in engineers with other specialties for specific small tasks on the project; you will need to staff up, outsource sub-projects, or hire a genius.
4) PGD Technologies engineering "bandwidth" is flexible: if the project needs a push or is delayed for some reason your cost doesn't change; you would need to hire additional engineers (which takes time) or let existing talent play video games on your time.

Your involvement in the project is essential. The exact nature of that involvement depends greatly on the type of project. In general you are expected to provide whatever technical and business specifications you have, to answer questions in a reasonable time, and to provide prompt, honest, and thorough feedback on software releases. A list of your "deliverables" is provided by PGD Technologies in the project proposal.

All source code produced by PGD Technologies during a project is fully owned by you, except nonproprietary code with only general utility (generic code). Generic code may be used by you in any way you wish and PGD Technologies may also use this code for its own purposes.

We are working since 1998 on almost all technologies and can provide programming for all Windows platforms and Linux. The technologies list includes Visual C++, COM/DCOM, Java, J2SE, J2ME, EJB, Visual Basic, XML, Perl, PHP, Python, Developer, Power Builder, Delphi, Socket Programming, SmallTalk and ASP. Our development team has collective technical experience of 60 man-years. We have developed software systems that use Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Access databases, sometimes most of them simultaneously via ODBC. We have developed expertise in j2EE and Windows DNA architectures over the time.

It consists of:

• Software itself
• Quality Assurance documentation
• User’s Guide
• Online Context-Sensitive Help
• Installation program and instructions
• Completely documented source code
• Maintenance instructions

Yes, of course. Our design department is not only making the user interface of the software and documentation superior looking, but, primary, provides a full range of web design, graphics and multimedia development services.

The software development process is complicated by its nature. Our development methodology / process only reflects it. Excluding any stage leads to higher risk and lower quality. Sometimes we are asked to simply provide programmers, but such “savings” on management, planning, testing and documentation bring many problems in future and the final cost of the software system becomes much higher, if the software system will be finished at all.

You do have full control over the development, primary through on-site Project Manager. Our Software Development Methodology ensure that there will be no unpleasant surprises at the end of the development.

It is not a rare situation. Simply contact us even with a rough idea. We will define the task together.

Through our Development Methodology / Process which is aimed at quality and only quality. We even provide Software Testing Services for other software development organizations. Also, you will have all preliminary versions of the software installed at your location for internal testing, verification and acceptance. During the 3-month warranty period after the software was installed in production mode, any problem in the code will be corrected free of charge.

We can conclude either a long-term maintenance agreement stating our responsibilities or a general agreement on providing modifications on a case basis.
