We're the one stop ASP.Net / DotNetNuke shop you have been looking for!

1. First, call us to discuss your problem: 603-726-5058.
   
    
2. After reviewing the project we need to decide if we do the project on a fixed price or on time & materials (hourly).
   
    
3. If hourly, we develop a rough estimate, roll up our sleeves and get to work.
   
    
4. If a project has to be a fixed price then we must break it up into two phases: a) discovery & design, done hourly and then b) implementation done on a fixed price. Just like building a house, the general contractor can't give you a quote until an architect has written up a set of house specifications. The same goes for software development. We assign a business analyst / spec writer to work with you to write a functional specification written in plain English containing mockups of each screen in the system. Once that is done, we can give you a fixed price quote based on the specification. Once the spec has been approved by your staff, our programmers start writing the system.
   
    
5. If you are starting a new site from scratch you may want to consider using a free web portal platform, called DotNetNuke , as a starting point. Don’t know what DotNetNuke is? It could save you as much as 90% off your development costs plus give you more functionality than you ever dreamed of! Have I got your attention yet? Please read the right side of this page for our explanation of how DotNetNuke can help you.
   
    
6. If needed, our graphic artist will work with you to develop a detailed graphical user interface. Sometimes we can save money by employing an off-the-shelf template. If we are using DotNetNuke then you can choose a skin at www.SnowCovered.com
   
    
7. If eCommerce is needed we will integrate in an off-the-shelf shopping cart and help you get setup to process credit cards.
   
    
8. A testing area will be setup on your server or on our server (i.e. YourName.KeeneSystems.com).
   
    
9. QA will be done as pieces of the site are rolled out. As various milestones are met, you can review the latest work release on our test server. At any time you will be able to see what each of our developers is working on because we publish our daily timesheets online. Status meetings are conducted with GotoMeeting so we can all be looking at the same screen at the same time. Attendees can be anywhere in the world and we bring them in via Skype conference.
   
    
10. Once complete, we install the system on your server, test everything, then the system can go live.
    
     
11. If needed, we will assist you in developing a web marketing strategy, SEO, SEM and pay per click. Remember, you are reading this right now because we wanted you to find us. We have had top ranking in the search engines for years. Building a website is only one piece to your business development strategy. What we really want to do is to make your site generate revenue for you!
    
     
12. After the system is delivered, we may not hear from you for several months; until you decide to add some new feature. At that time we will try to assign the same staff member to do the new work.

So how can we deliver quality software development if the work is done in India?

• Good communication and project management is the key!
   
• We have regular meetings to discuss project status. Meetings are conducted via GotoMeeting and Skype. Attendees can be anywhere in the world.
   
• You will be in direct contact with the actual developer working on your project.
   
• Our developers have good English language skills and some have even spent a significant amount of time living in the US.
   
• All timesheets and project notes are posted online for your review.
   
• We use the time difference to our advantage. While we are asleep here in the US, the India team is busy writing code. Then in the morning we have a little overlap between Mumbai time and our time. It is then that we schedule our meetings. Once the project is underway it is not uncommon to make a request at 6pm on your way out the door only to have it completed by the time you come in the next morning. We find our clients love this!
   
• We have had a presence in India since 2005. We know how to manage an offshore project and make it a success. Our clients like the idea that they are dealing with an American firm instead of some obscure firm in India. With Keene Systems you can realize the cost savings of off-shore development without the risk.
   
• Our largest project to date was for National Geographic. We have done the work almost exclusively with our India staff. When National Geographic School Publishing merged with Hampton Brown School Publishing they chose Keene Systems as the company to develop their new website. The site manages over 16,000 products and provides tools for a sales force scattered all over the US. You can see this site at www.NGSP.com.
