We Don't Use a Jackhammer If a Precision Scalpel Will Do
Your job? Knowing your target. Our job? Aiming and hitting the bull’s eye. Getting you precisely where you want to go.
We think it’s more than just getting there, though. It’s hitting the mark quickly, intelligently, and cost-effectively.
The Spheric team can handle just about any platform or language you can throw at us, from Sharepoint to LifeRay; from Java to C# to PHP, but our technologies of choice are Oracle’s WebCenter Interaction (a.k.a. Aqualogic, ALUI, Plumtree) and Ruby on Rails (RoR)—and we know them inside-out.
Agile Development + RoR + Spheric = Major Win for You
Everyone and their cousin asks for Ruby on Rails these days. It’s the hottest web application framework in town. Many consider Spheric to be the top Ruby on Rails team in Canada.
We can create powerful, complex custom web apps (and sites) in a fraction of the time that other programming language frameworks require.
Rapid prototypes are a breeze, making it ideal for agile development. Why agile? With an iterative, rather than linear process, we can easily circle around, perfecting your project as you (or we) uncover usability problems or envision a brilliant new approach to functionality or the interface.
- RoR’s built-in tools take us halfway from kick-off to finish line automatically.
- We experiment and build our own apps with RoR on our own time, playing with its capabilities and testing its limitations.
- We take a good look at your business and define killer features to draw people in.
- We’re up on everything new in the RoR community, fully engaged, and networking.
- Small businesses and tiny start-ups can compete with what the big boys offer.
- We’re happy to share RoR tips and tricks if you have an in-house IT team. We love to help our entire industry move ahead.
- Our team has the smarts and integrity to tell you when RoR’s the wrong tool for the job, and that’s exactly who you want on your side—a team with your interests in mind.
Call It Aqualogic, ALUI, Plumtree, or WebCenter, in Our Hands It’s the Portal with the Most Potential.
Portals can pack a lot of power, and they’re flexible enough to be enterprise-level or personal aggregators, community-driven social sites, intranets, or virtually any kind of integration platform.
But effectively using a powerful portal builder like WebCenter (WCI) requires true mastery of the product. Killer skills, deep experience, and, perhaps most important, a keen eye for strategy, make the difference between an impressive, intensively-used portal that proves itself in its ROI, and a pocket-draining project gone wrong.
No matter how talented your in-house tech group, Spheric’s specialists are the portal dream team to bring in to strategize, build, repair, or maintain these powerful platforms.
- We’ve worked on it since back in the day. It was a Wednesday, we think, and it was called Plumtree.
- Java or .Net? /*nix or Windows? It doesn’t matter, WebCenter’s platform and language independent.
- Whether mission-critical such as a payroll system, or as simple as a blog, you can integrate just about anything into WebCenter.
- We know WCI inside-out. If it’s not a good fit or it’s overkill, we’ll be the first to tell you, so not one penny is wasted.
- All products are not created equal. We think for many jobs, WCI wins, hands down.
