Keating Consulting Service, Inc.

We work with our clients to match information technology to your business requirements. In dealing with your information technology requirements, it helps to identify two distinct types -- core and unique.

Core requirements are the typical business accounting and information management functions -- receivables, payables, inventory tracking, payroll, etc. These functions are handled by off-the-shelf standardized software. We help support your core functions with user training, upgrades, patches and onsite technical support. We help you pick appropriate software suited to your needs.

Unique business requirements are those processes and information that your firm has developed over time that form your unique way of doing business. This can be your sales and customer tracking, specialized order fulfillment -- any information that does not neatly fit into the standard software and yet is the special glue of your operation.

While users frequently resort to extra paper to manage this "extra" data -- We review your requirements and processes, mapping them into existing or under-utilized features of your existing software or creating custom databases, applications and procedures to manage a significant portion (but not necessarily all) of this unique information.

Automating unique business processes is justified based on the value and efficiency gained. With better development tools and tight project management, this can be the leverage to help your business stay or get ahead in a competitive environment.
