Detailed Service Description
How we work
We fill a unique niche in the marketplace; combining IT consulting and project management with enterprise class development. We pride ourselves on the depth of specification, unique project management system and communication portal that we provide. We believe that each project is successful when approached with what we call the "ËBig Ten"
1. Communicate = Listen to your vision
2. Strategize= Build a strategy
3. Specify = Architect your vision
4. Execute = Develop your vision
5. Test = Thoroughly test for quality
6. Educate = Educate you on how to use and leverage what we have built for you
7. Deliver = Deliver on time and on budget
8. Support = Provide support
9. Analyze = Analyze the results: Were we successful? And what's next?
10. Community = Build a community with our clients; engage, educate and network
Market intelligence
This is a unique time in the marketplace; there are many "experts" and the term "experts" becomes a fleeting title as the marketplace evolves yet again. We have devoted ourselves and our resources to tracking the market and its trends, and understanding how to harness these trends to bring your business and your vision success. We know SEO, Social Media and good old-fashioned quality content management.
Project management
MC2 understands the many nuances of the project life cycle; we are familiar with its long list of details and requirements. We believe it takes a truly dedicated team and the right tools to successfully manage a project. We affectionately refer to this team and these tools as a "pod." This pod consists of your account manager, a dedicated project manager, lead developer, strategist and business analyst. This may sound top heavy but in fact we have found the opposite - a group of great minds can produce great results. You only have one contact and this contact has a tremendous amount of support and best practice feedback.

PHP, Ajax, Joomla, MYSQL, DHTML, Perl, Javascript, XML, cXML, Soap, jQuery, Magento

We understand that you have just a few short seconds to catch a visitors attention once they have arrived at your site the design must lead them towards your end goal. Yes, we take this very seriously.
