www.balthisar.com – We Do Consulting

We’re overload for the present, but it can’t hurt to ask!

Jim Derry dba Balthisar Software has experience in each of the following contract-work scenarios:

Database Applications

Don’t settle for contract “database” writers. If you’re not looking for an application then you’ll more than likely end up with an inferior product. I specialize in Microsoft Access applications, although I can also deliver true Windows-based, compiled applications capable of communicating with most database formats, as well as web-based, mySQL driven applications where appropriate. Our true forté; is in delivering usable applications with intuitive interfaces not requiring in-depth end-user training. In most cases the schemas, if my design, are such that your local information systems personnel can maintain the system with basic knowledge.

Windows Applications

If you, your enterprise, or learning institution is in need of a rapid software solution for your Windows desktop systems, chances are I can accomdate you in a timely and cost-conscious manner. We won’t, however, bite off more than we can chew.

Mac OS Applications

As your workplace makes the move to enterprise-worthy, Unix-based Mac OS X desktop systems, many of the in-house tools and applications from your older, unreliable systems just won’t work. We can bridge the gap with Mac OS X versions of your old applications, from porting to complete rewrites.

Web Applications – New!

Our services for individuals and small businesses will assist you in everything you need to get started with your presense on the internet (you mean you’re not there yet?). We can do simple, static HTML (think geocities) if that’s what you really want, but we specialize in rapidly getting your dynamic websites up-and-running quickly. You could have a site like ours, only better, since you’d be paying for it!

Technical Writing and Help Files (Mac OS X and Windows Software)

We can meet your software technical writing needs, and/or create Mac OS X and Windows help files for your systems.

Technical Writing (Industrial Systems and Training Materials)

Our technical writing expertise will have your customers praising your product manuals! If your game is training, we do training materials as well.

Resistance Welding Systems Consultation

Outside the nerdy world of computers, our expertise lies in resistance welding. No, we can’t weld your car frame for you, but we can come to your plant or integration shop and help you with everything from choosing the right size electrodes to writing the weld program. All aspects of the welding cell can be addressed, including the weld control, Allen-Bradley logic, robot systems, and all supporting subsystems. Setting up your predictive SPC program is a specialty!

Resistance Welding Systems Training

If you, your boss, or your employees work with resistance welding equipment, it’s invaluable to to know something about resistance welding! Our courses can cover the areas you need to emphasize, starting from basic electrical theory or anywhere on up!
