Our Craftsmanship Approach integrates solutions for both business and technology needs.

Is your company striving to meet growth targets? Are major changes like consolidation or acquisitions anticipated in the next year? Are industry factors such as new regulatory requirements or competitive pressures affecting your business strategy?

By combining extensive business and financial experience with technical knowledge, we specialize in a hands-on Craftsmanship Approach that focuses on delivering strategic solutions for sustained growth. CloudRise has built a solid reputation with our clients through the effective automation of operations, workflow improvement, and delivering solutions that incorporate both business and technology needs.

Assessing Business Needs
We know that understanding your business needs is critical to the success of your project and will work with you to evaluate your strategic plans. We can help you prioritize by reviewing the best practices for your industry, and analyzing your position within the industry. Within a short time, we can help you crystallize strategic objectives and formulate a priority plan.

With agreement on your strategic objectives, we can then review internal operations, including a detailed examination of your financial processes, internal controls, reporting and analysis, and audit requirements. We will identify areas for concentration and improvement along with proposed solutions.

Assessing Technology Needs
To guarantee that your project is crafted specifically to your business requirements, we will review your current system design, programming structure and design standards. We’ll evaluate the existing technologies you use and identify data integration needs. And finally, if requested, we’ll assess your security, networking and hardware requirements so that your technical systems provide adequate support for the way you conduct your business.

Technical Solutions With the Bottom Line in Mind

Using Microsoft standards for enhanced functionality and substantially lower costs.
CloudRise takes a pragmatic and cost-effective approach to software development - using open Microsoft® standard products to create custom applications running on the Windows® platform. CloudRise systems provide as much - if not more - functionality than applications created with other larger-scale systems. And they can be created faster and at substantially lower costs. Maintainability is lower in cost as well due to the universality of the tools used.

The majority of our applications are developed using Microsoft Access for the front end and either Access or Microsoft SQL Server as the back end. All of our applications are designed to be completely scalable to meet your future business growth and easily integrated with other Microsoft products, and nearly any open-architecture database application. This integration approach delivers a high payback since MS desktop software is found virtually everywhere on the business scene. Our solution platforms include:

• Microsoft Access
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Remote Connectivity
• Citrix/Metaframe
