Do you want to make more money with the business you have? Good! Because that is what we do. We help businesses make more money. We serve small companies, very large multinationals, and everything between.

Grab this while you can! We have been getting escalating requests to help determine whether inventions or startup ideas have genuine commercial prospects before any attempt to raise capital and launch a business. Word got around that our founder was a Space Shuttle engineer for nine years in the States. Incubators realised she has an unusual ability to comprehend a wide range of technical fields and see what business potential is in an invention. She recently finished the first pass through a batch of more than 30 of these, the biggest batch so far.

For a limited time, you can get our founder to do such work for you. We are also putting some of our related services on sale. This offer can end at any time. To lock in these prices, book this while the offer is on our website. You can schedule the services to be performed anytime until the end of August 2011.

We're probably crazy to do this, but our founder enjoys working with incubators and startups. She said to find more of that for her to do, or else!

Commercial Evaluation

This is what business incubators and startups have been so pleased about. We are offering two packages and can make bespoke arrangements.

First-Pass Evaluation: This is being used by incubators to sift wheat from chaff for several proposals at a time. Universities and large corporations also find it useful. We get a one to three page summary of each proposal. Our founder examines each one, asks questions when necessary, and provides written feedback about it. For some, there isn't much to say except confirmation that they are on the right track. For others, she outlines major technical barriers and where she sees revenue potential. It is not unusual for this feedback to reveal business avenues the proposal missed. Standard price: £1000 per batch of ten. Sale price: £650 per batch of ten.

Second-Pass Evaluation: After a batch of proposals has been winnowed, our founder can perform a more thorough evaluation. This requires more detailed information about the proposed invention or startup and at least a teleconference with its chief. Standard price: £1100. Sale price: £750.

Logjam Breaker

This is used by businesses that battened down the hatches to get through the worst of the economic downturn, and now want to streamline logjams in their operations that could keep them from taking full advantage of recovery.

Workshop Only: We are very good at leading workshops with your team to map as-is workflow, identify bottlenecks, and outline an action plan for opening up those bottlenecks. Our price includes not only the day of the workshop, but our preparation beforehand and delivery of our report a couple of days afterward. Please be realistic when scheduling this. Rome wasn't built in a day, and sorting the logjams in a highly complex workflow might not fit in one day either. Standard price: £800 per workshop day. Sale price: £550 per workshop day.

Change Project Lead: Whether you simply can't spare anyone to lead your logjam breaking business change project, or it's politically untenable to assign to your internal staff, we can lead the project that carries out the action plan from your workshop. For this sale, if the project begins within one month of your workshop, we will honour the sale price throughout the project. Standard price: £450 to £600 per day, depending on the project. Sale price: £420 per day.

We can automate the tedious, costly, time consuming, high risk core work in a legacy software update project. That both saves money and dramatically reduces risk. If heavily patched, difficult-to-handle old software is holding back your business, this can save you. We habitually offer only the best.

Large Clients

If you have a large company or a manufacturing line, here are a couple of examples of what we (or our USA sister firm) have done:

• Technical lead for extensive modifications to and additions alongside an existing SCADA system to support new equipment and new human procedures. Result: Shipping delays dropped from 2 days to 2 hours.
• Technical lead to acquire data into Aspen Tech's InfoPlus.21 an order of magnitude faster than previously achieved at any of the customer's sites. We did it without the extra hardware previously required, using only standard IP.21 components and tools.

Factories use our consulting and technical services to troubleshoot, design, implement, enhance and support systems for the shop floor. Telecom companies get help with enterprise-wide systems such as remote line testing or technician dispatch, or SS7 call routing. We typically improve the customer's bottom line by considerably more than the cost of our services.

We have updated legacy software the traditional way. We are keen to show you how much more cost effective such projects will be now that we can apply new technology to solve the problem of creaking, cranky old source code.

Please note that for consulting services, we start by finding out what your business needs to do. Part of our job is to make sure your technical solutions fit your business, instead of forcing your business to fit a particular technical solution.

Small to Medium Clients

You can get a business advisor to guide you to better profitability. As an example, from an Internet startup's two page outline of a proposed new website, we identified the golden application hidden in a one-line idea. The startup is due to launch soon.

Clients of Any Size (Including Non-Profits)

These services are generally discounted for non-profit organisations and educational institutions.

• We provide cloud computing services for small to medium sized businesses. This is a great way to always have up to date hardware and software for your business without hefty capital expenditures, without buying new licenses every year or two... and with capacity flexibility!
• At a price affordable even for small shops (but so scalable it is used by a company of 40,000), we make sure email survives disasters and spam is filtered out (but not legitimate messages--it's extremely accurate) with no need for extra equipment or software.
• Along with antispam and disaster-proofing, we can provide outbound filtering of your email. This safeguards intellectual property by scanning for key words, phrases or symbols that you set to be flagged and quarantined.
• We can set you up to do backups remotely through an encrypted link, so you can keep backups offsite and safe from catastrophe, with no need for extra equipment or hassle.

Although this is not our main line of business, we code and maintain our own website and those of a few other companies. We can do the same for you.

We currently limit website design and implementation to the complexity of:

• CubeCart stores, and
• Open-Realty implementations, which can include integration with AutoResponse Plus

If you have not seen such websites, take a look at a few that we have done or are working on:

• CubeCart Digital Products Store: Make Sure You Get Paid
• CubeCart Physical Products Store: LunaWolf
• Open-Realty: Greyhaven Realty Management
