Companies wishing to take advantage of open source technology face one challenge: where to start. Scott Crumpler's experience developing web projects on open source systems can provide your organization with the information you need to succeed quickly and affordably.
The open source development landscape is littered with web application projects that have stalled, lost development momentum and focus, and aren't flexible enough to fulfill a variety of needs.

Being able to tell the difference takes expertise.

What's Included
When you purchase our consultation product, Scott Crumpler will contact your project leaders to discuss your organization's needs in detail. He'll go over everything your site or application needs to accomplish and help you prioritize the features you need from the right open source software. If there are platform restrictions, he'll discuss those as well. With this information, Scott will create a profile of the ideal solution.
Next, Scott will conduct research over a 1 - 2 day period to examine possible open source solutions for viability. Scott Crumpler has developed web projects for E-commerce, CRM, Content Management, Social Networking, Blogging, and more, so the chances are high that Scott has already worked with the software you need. In that event, most of his research will focus solely on specific feature requirements. If your project is especially different, more research will go into finding a qualified open source application and vetting it for viability first. Scott Crumpler's analytical expertise stems from his wealth of experience with open source web applications, and you can trust his recommendations as a qualified consultant.
Once Scott has determined the best possible solution for your project, he will compile a report that will include the following:
- An overview of the software
- A brief description of the open source development project, including the organization that holds the copyright, the development team, and the existing community of users.
- Information on any 3rd Party modules or extensions that may be needed
- Discussion of any needed features that are not met by the recommended software and suggestions for developing them in-house.
- Recommendations for further study, including documentation, literature, etc.
- A brief suggested implementation process.
Once your team has had the chance to review the report for 24 hours, Scott will answer any questions and clarify any information in a conference call. The whole process is over in a few days, and you come out of it with a roadmap for a successful web development project!
