Cincom Discovery Zone for Customer and Partner Services
Welcome to the Cincom Discovery Zone for customer and partner services! Cincom Smalltalk Services is your performance partner with over 40 years of discovery and maximizing productivity through services and support. Let’s take a look at all the ways our experienced Services team can discover opportunities for growth, productivity and added value for your business.
Product Upgrades
Don’t risk a critical upgrade to a learn-as-you-go, in-house approach. Our senior consultants know the small, impossible-to-document steps that make the difference between an unresolved task and a completed process.
Whether you have been successfully using Cincom® ObjectStudio® or Cincom® VisualWorks®, an assessment of the environment, interfacing systems and available resources provides you with a reliable estimate of effort and cost for the upgrade itself, and includes a report on your Cincom Smalltalk application environment and the steps needed to upgrade to the current product release.
Mentoring
It’s easy to learn the basics of installing and using Cincom Smalltalk. However, the most productive use of this sophisticated, pure object-oriented application development suite is achieved best through customized mentoring that is developed to meet your needs at your level of experience.
Troubleshooting
Whether it’s identifying and resolving a processing glitch or improving a performance drag, we have experts who can work with you remotely and/or on-site to re-create the problem and then provide an alternative viable approach.
Performance Enhancement
Cincom Smalltalk development environments provide a wide range of functionality. But we human beings tend to lock in the capabilities we know and miss out on the performance ability of those dimensions of the tool we don’t know.
A performance-enhancement service reveals how a team is using Cincom Smalltalk, which aspects of the tool they are not using and how they could energize so many more existing capabilities.
This service is shaped to meet specific customer needs with defined objectives, clearly delineated areas to review and documented results and recommendations.
Migrations
Cincom Services can move your application suite to the most productive Cincom Smalltalk programming environment, giving you fully scalable, web-based and client-server development enhancements.
Proof-of-Concept
Not sure if ObjectStudio or VisualWorks is the tool you need? An on-site proof-of-concept using your data and meeting your business goals will provide that last element of confirmation. There are four key ingredients in any successful proof-of-concept:
- A defined limited scope of effort – Large enough to provide the confirmation you seek but small enough to not waste time or resources.
- A project plan with established success criteria – The proof will be conducted like a mini project with clearly predefined and agreed-upon success criteria, ensuring that at project completion, the tool meets your goals.
- Committed resources – From you, the customer and Cincom Services. By working together, you will experience the power of the tool firsthand.
- Committed time and dollars – Deciding on a tool to achieve business success requires a serious effort.
