Team Building: Which Approach is Best for You?

Even Apart, Bring Your Team Together and Let Remote Team Members Partake in a Fun Activity or Two. Results Can Be Surprising! Why focus on team building now? Don’t we have enough to worry about? Times certainly are tough. It feels like chaos has taken the wheel and we are offroading...blindfolded. A global pandemic hit, the US economy has taken a colossal one-two punch, and there’s an ongoing fight to ensure fairness and equality for all — we are up against the ropes. The collective impact of this trifecta is taking unseen and unheard tolls on everyone. This. Will. Impact. Your. Team. From smaller teams to large groups — this affects everyone.

Why Laravel is Awesome: Keeping Software Development Productive

Why Laravel is Awesome: Keeping Software Development Productive

Where Ideas and Development Tie Together As a custom software consulting company, we specialize in making your wildest dreams come true - at least as they pertain to the software. In order to do that, we don’t sacrifice any of our capabilities in favor of taking a simple way out. You’ll never hear us say “that’s just something we can’t do,” and trust me - we get plenty of unique requests. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because your business needs are one of a kind. Software isn’t like a house or a car, whereas long as you have the basic amenities (e.g. shelter, utilities, water, etc. for a house), then you’re good to go; software is completely unique from one business to the next, just think about comparing the International Space Station’s operational software with the point-of-sale system at your local bagel shop.

Now Is The Time

Now Is The Time

The normal day-to-day routine is a thing of the past for most of us right now. It feels like someone knocked over our block castle and we are left trying to piece it back together without our most integral parts. For some, those foundational pieces include face-to-face collaboration with our teams and having a dedicated workspace to stay focused and maximize output in the industry. Others are accustomed to cross-country or even global business travel to ensure their portfolios are growing and meeting benchmarks. Most of us rely heavily on the in-person relationships we have with our teams or clients. And in whatever capacity that may be: small business, retail, service industries, construction, healthcare, etc...social distancing doesn’t do us any favors in that regard, right?
