Managing Custom Software applications for Mid-sized Businesses
Established businesses with 50-125 employees and/or multiple office locations make up the mid-size market. Medium sized businesses typically have more structure and defined roles which lead to more complex security and communications features.
Growing Pains!
Mid-market companies have their own set of particular needs. There are more complex operations in the business, resulting in more complex workflows to track and manage things. There is a new layer of security that must be implemented and managed.
In many cases, mid-sized companies are always in a state of transition to accommodate growth, and it is in higher-growth times that it becomes evident that the "off the shelf" software isn't handling the new needs and policies of a growing company.
We find that mid-market businesses are constantly pushing the limitations of pre-packaged software in several key business areas: security, communications, sales, accounting, inventory, human resources and more. The lack of integration between software applications slows the business, and the ability to aggregate information from multiple sources (business intelligence) is virtually non-existent.

Documentation, the Programmer's Forgotten Strength
Our level of documentation is second to none, and this is sorely needed in this business segment, as it was usually a "crazy ride" to get here, and non-critical items such as planning and documentation that were left out originally has become much more important. Knowledge sharing and transfer becomes a much greater expense in both time and resources, because with more employees, there is more turnover, promotions, retirements, etc. - and the time to bring them up to working speed becomes a drain on time and resources without proper documentation.
