In a time when technical skills are wrongly perceived as a cheap commodity, KSM stands apart. We believe that quality matters, and that quality simply cannot be achieved by disengaged heads-down coders who understand little and care less about the complex business processes they automate. Custom applications yield the greatest return when built by developers who are accountable to the customer, and who understand their business requirements well. In our experience, the most successful custom development projects are those built with significant contributions from in-house developers and analysts.
KSM embraces a partnership model of custom software development. In this project model, our clients' in-house staff work alongside our consultants to choose the right tools and implement the right development processes to deliver robust, usable software in the minimum amount of time. Our consultants serve as mentors to in-house staff, equipping them with the technical expertise to both develop the software themselves, and to maintain it for its entire life expectancy. Our clients benefit from our significant practical experience building cutting-edge solutions, and from our command of best practices in software development. The solution reflects the intimate knowledge of specific application requirements that only dedicated in-house resources can provide.
