What is the MKGCS difference?

Team Effort

We believe the only time and cost effective way to build customized applications for a critical process is to go straight to the customer and work with them. So we use a unique teaming technique where in MKGCS partners with our clients, working closely with your functional experts on site, to build systems that work right from the start. We don't gather requirements and then leave to spend six to twelve months on building a solution off site only to find either the requirements were off the mark or our user's needs have changed. We study you process, learn it inside and out from your experts and get their input all along the way.

Rapid Development

We also practice extreme programming development. We rapidly produce prototype applications and continuously refine and evolve the code, often producing one or more significant application "builds" in a week. And we allow the client to elect to place these prototypes in limited product for beta testing, expert reviews or even to live production if the value added by the application off sets the risks of early deployment.

Application Solutions as a Service, not a Product

Rather than sell our clients software or licenses, we use open source or industry standard application development tools and programming languages, leveraging our clients' existing or preferred proprietary technology (such as Microsoft or Oracle) investments. Our customized applications remain the property of our client - we provide expert software as a service, which think is more economical to the client than expensive proprietary licenses. You pay for our services to design, build and maintain your applications, but you are not committed to a platform or system - and you decide how much of our services you need. For new, large projects, we will support you with the right amount of resources (developers, engineers, database administrators, etc) needed to meet your project scope and timelines. For more mature applications, you many need only maintenance or migration/extension services, making your long term cost mush lower than through typical annual licensing agreements.

Special Operating Environments

And to support our government clients special needs, our staff maintain DOD clearances that allow us to provide a full range of support from unclassified, public systems to restricted domains and even to classified, highly restricted systems.
