Products

QMS is a comprehensive data management system that allows water and wastewater utilities to schedule, collect, manage, integrate, and report on their operational and compliance data. Its ease of use, powerful features, and enterprise architecture deliver benefits to any organization – small or large.

The Virtual Delivery Platform (VDP) is a breakthrough product that is paving the way to new and improved relationships between analytical laboratories and their customers. This customer facing portal publishes test results in real time, supports user-defined querying and dashboards, graphing and downloading of historical data, and many other value-add services.

Domesticating IT

Domesticating IT shows small and micro businesses (SMB) how to identify and implement the simplest, most cost-effective IT strategies that will get them to the next level.

These are exciting times for SMBs, as it has never been easier or cheaper to start a company and compete in the global market place (if you’re skeptical, read Guy Kawasaki’s article “How I built a Web 2.0, User-Generated Content, Citizen Journalism, Long-Tail, Social Media Site for $12,107.09“). The trick is knowing how to take advantage of the staggering number of low and no-cost services and technologies available today.
