We Love Our Clients
Whether they are a one-person startup or a Fortune 1000 company
OUR APPROACH
We do extensive planning of program requirements - so both customer and programmer are clear about the program parameters and expected performance. We ask all of the right questions ... up front! This is your foundation.
We want your project to succeed the first time. When a change request comes in once code has been deployed, it can often take 50 to 200 times longer to correct than if the idea had been thought of at the beginning of the project. You'd be surprised how happenstance and sloppy even major software companies can be by not establishing clear communication before the project starts.
Web Development
Web designers, WordPress sites are a dime a dozen. When you need to display customer (or internal) information you can afford a state-of-the-art dynamic site or application on any scale with us. We employ a cutting edge California designer, Adam, laying his graphic design over our complex code "under the hood."
Learn moreAutocad / AUD
We've written groundbreaking code that takes Autocad to the next level and have our apps in production with major companies. We also have configured and written custom features for the Automated Utility Design (AUD) product for 20 years, longer than anybody in the electric utility software industry, and on multi-million dollar energy projects.
Custom Apps/Interfaces
With our experience with web services and a variety of programming languages (C#, VB, PHP, ASP, Java) we can make your system smarter. Does your business need an application to make your life easier, track your data, or do you need help in fixing a program that's not working as well as it could? Call us.
Consulting
Odds are, your company could be way more efficient. n ANY system, our watchword is that the same piece of data should NEVER be typed in two different places. We want to make your systems talk to each other. Or perhaps you're current software solution (or providers) just don't feel right and you could use a qualified second opinion.
SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Let's face it, "D.I.Y." (doing it yourself) isn't worth it in the long run. Having us handle your website, coding, apps, your network, hardware, etc. is more cost effective and lets you focus on what you do best.
Websites are not one-size-fits all. We want to do whatever makes the most sense for you, whether it's configuring Word Press, a site displaying customer data, a static website, or large amounts of dynamic content.
Does your business need an application to make your life easier, track your data, or do you need help in fixing a program that's not working as well as it could? There's no such thing as "impossible" when it comes to programming.
If you want secure, reliable web hosting - you can park your website with us. Or perhaps you don't like the hassle of dealing with your site and want us to take care of everything? Our monthly plans could be for you.
Do your apps all talk to each other? If you type the same data in 2 places, probably not. We can get your software to interact smoothly, with web services, custom add-ons in a variety of languages, and output data how you like it (Excel, PDFs, custom database format).
We can step in on your existing code or products if you're in a pinch. But Plannedscape is also fortunate to have an expert at emergency data recovery, smart backups, meeting security requirements, virtualization - outsource your trickiest IT problems!
