Absolute Programming

The founder of Absolute Programming, Rick Harlow has over 12 years of experience in the development and implementation of applications built using Microsoft products.

After working in the following industries:

Nuclear Power

State and Local Government

Manufacturing

Financial and Accounting

He came to the following conclusions:

Cost of US based development has increased dramatically

Software, hardware and infrastructure have matured enough to not only make “Remote Development” technically possible, but cost-effective

Large Corporations are investing heavily in “Off-Shore” operations

It’s not a matter of IF a company will do “Remote/Off-Shore Development” but when and how they make that transition

Most “Off-Shore” models are a geared toward delivery of “shrink wrap products” or “Fixed Statements of Work” rather than truly custom software

Small and mid-sized companies are struggling with how to keep up

The largest asset a developer can have is the knowledge and understanding of a clients business not his/or her technical skills

The typical off-shore model would not work for either small to mid-size companies or companies who needed highly customizable software.

With increasing specialization of software, even companies with in-house developers could afford to maintain developers who were competent in all areas.

Absolute Programming was formed to help companies resolve the above set of problems.
