Services

August Development offers a full range of services to its customers, including custom web application and website development, technology system modernization and upgrades, business technology consulting and cloud migration.

Web Applications

Web applications, or web apps, are robust and secure web sites that are closely integrated with a database and can perform complex business functions, such as executing financial account transactions, managing business data relationships and producing data-driven reports and dashboards. August Development has twenty years experience in building web applications tailored to the needs of its clients, from small business management to large-scale multimedia productions to non-profit grant application and evaluation.

Web Sites

In contrast to web applications, which specialize in the manipulation and creation of data, web sites specialize in delivering information to customers. Despite their orientation to information delivery, web sites can also provide secure and complex services to users, such as the use of eCommerce tools. August Development builds web sites at every scale, from small sites designed for optimum usability and information delivery to big, multi-user sites equipped with secure shopping carts and advanced user tools.

Both web applications and web sites can be integrated with a web-based Content Management System, or CMS. A CMS gives clients the ability to modify and manipulate content, whether it's HTML, text, images or other file types that are controlled by the CMS and made available on the web site. August Development can implement a CMS for any web project, allowing clients a great degree of control over their content without having to rely on trained software developers for basic maintenance.

Mobile Applications

Mobile applications allow managers, customers and workers to access all of the powerful features of web applications using small, portable devices such as tablets or smart phones. Today, businesses are expected more than ever to provide ways for their employees to work productively from any location and to provide for their users the same rich experience on a portable device that was traditionally restricted to full scale web applications. August Development's standard development protocols ensure that all web sites and web applications are automatically scaled to every screen size, from large laptop monitors to the smallest smart phone. ADC also builds apps designed to function solely on portable devices and to take advantage of the tools available on portable platforms, such as geolocation. Mobile applications can help most businesses in some or all of the following ways:

  • Off-site Data Capture
    Greatly increase productivity by allowing remote workers to enter data directly into your business system, instead of recording data in the field and then manually entering it a second time. On-site workers can access information from the central office instantly, making it easier to solve problems and answer questions in the field. Managers can also track field data in real time.
  • Offline Productivity
    Mobile applications allow workers to be productive in any environment instead of being tied to a traditional office network. Data can be stored and synced on mobile devices to allow for productive work even when offline.
  • Portability
    Mobile devices are easy to transport, making them a boon to workers who are travelling or who work on the road.

Application Migration

August Development can upgrade existing, office-based technologies to web applications and mobile applications, with all of the following benefits:

  • Modernization of existing applications, allowing access to new tools and technology.
  • Improved integration with other online tools, such as email and calendar or contact data.
  • Migration from hosted, office-based networks to cloud-based services, resulting in much greater reliability, reduced maintenance and full disaster recovery capability.
  • Allowing users to work productively outside of the office network.
  • Increased convenience of services for customers and workers through mobile application development.

Cloud Migration

Moving from a technology platform that relies on hosted servers and office networking applications to a cloud-based system has several advantages:

  • Eliminating overhead costs associated with running, upgrading and maintaining servers that are dedicated to specific office functions, such as Exchange and file servers.
  • Avoiding service and productivity interruptions due to local internet and power outages.
  • Automatic off-site data backup and recovery, including full recovery of all data and services in the event of a disaster.

Business Technology Consulting

With the rapid rate of change and improvement in all digital technologies, it can be difficult for companies to stay up-to-date and to leverage current technologies that could vastly improve productivity and customer satisfaction. Too often, businesses rely on outdated, slow and inefficient systems for their day-to-day work; over time, these inefficiencies can add up to significant losses of productivity and business opportunities. Furthermore, it can be challenging for companies to initiate change internally once workers and managers become used to the flow and procedures that build up around an existing technology network. August Development provides clients with a fresh, outside perspective on their business technology. We not only conduct a thorough analysis and create a recommendation report, but we also lead our clients through the technology transition and retraining process.

Interactive Media

Our interactive media products include video and touch screen interactive installations, event production and management tools, and specialized business device implementations. Some examples are programmable, interactive kiosks for museums and events; conference scheduling apps that run on tablets and are handed out to convention participants; and custom health status devices used by hospitals and care facilities to locate and monitor elderly patients.

Hosting

August Development provides web and other service hosting options for its clients. The hosting service includes:

  • Performing an analysis to determine the server specifications that will meet the needs of the hosted project.
  • Set up of the server.
  • Implementation of data backup, security and server monitoring systems.
