Sound Strategy, Good Advice

Concentric Sky is a trusted partner in the web development industry. We've gained a reputation as skilled problem solvers able to take a bad situation and turn it around. Our customers turn to us when planning large projects or when exploring new technologies. We help them understand the issues so that they can make informed decisions.

Software development can be tricky. Many projects finish late and/or over budget despite the best efforts of those involved. We've seen it many times - and we have the experience to help you troubleshoot your process in order to control costs and define an effective project management methodology. We can help you identify bottlenecks and facilitate communication in order to help your team function to their full potential.

We've trained and managed global teams in Russia, Poland and India. We understand the need for cultural sensitivity in building enthusiastic and responsive development teams. We can add value to your process by helping you overcome the pitfalls that often occur with such distributed teams - even if Concentric Sky is not actively developing on your project.

Feel free to visit our Portfolio for examples of our work spanning a number of industries and technologies. If you have questions or can't find what you're looking for, please contact us.




Concentric Sky offers everything a software vendor should: top-notch technical expertise, industry-specific experience, respectful communication, realistic estimates, maximally efficient turn-around, and I could go on... Every time I heard we depended on CS for a deliverable, I breathed an enormous sigh of relief, because I knew it would be done right, and on time. A savvy PM knows that software will have bugs, and timelines will have crunches... but when you work with CS, you can trust that these inevitablities will be both minimised, and managed with the utmost competence and professionalism. I hope you get the opportunity to work with Concentric Sky.

I have been working with vendors for 20 years. Concentric Sky has been among the most professional I have ever worked with. They have excellent developers, but also excellent project managers and business managers. They are very proactive communicators, win/win negotiators and creative problem solvers. They have excellent judgement and provide outstanding service. They have won my loyalty with results.

I worked with the Concentric Sky team on the development of a large-scale application with complex requirements. The application was delivered on-time and to specification - it has become a key market advantage. During the development process, the Concentric Sky team became true partners, and exhibited a level of ownership and collaboration which served to improve and perfect the application while in development and contributing to its success. I highly recommend the Concentric Sky team.

Concentric Sky and I worked together briefly when I was at Xplana, but it wasn't until I moved on to Thomson that I got the opportunity to really see them in action. I took over a failing project and needed a developer that could help me turn it around. The Concentric Sky team really saved the day. It is primarily due to their efforts that the project was finally delivered. I highly recommend Concentric Sky for any project and I would love to work with them again in the future.

I had the pleasure of engaging Concentric Sky on several occasions to develop enterprise software for Higher Education. Concentric Sky embodies the meaning of a partner with the client. They are not only technically adept, but are also skilled at understanding what the customer needs and can propose creative solutions that make the most of the client's investment. What a breath of fresh air for a vendor! Concentric Sky is intimately involved in my projects from "soup to nuts." Their substantial contributions to my projects included architectural design, rapid prototyping, development, implementation and product delivery.

Concentric Sky's passion for good development and commitment to nonprofits put them way ahead of the pack. Concentric Sky was instrumental in building the Grassroots.org Toolbox (an interactive suite of free services for nonprofit organizations).

Concentric Sky consistently provides exceptionally responsive service, but more importantly they are able to distill highly complex technological details into cogent and forward-looking solutions. They mine deep within the labyrinth of code and functionality, identifying creative and meaningful ways to improve service to our customers and save significant time and money. The Concentric Sky team makes success look easy, and are a pleasure to work with. They are incredibly responsive and equally proactive, and they take true and dedicated ownership of every challenge set before them. I heartily and gladly recommend them as a terrific partner.
