Cox Software Architects

Packages

We've defined several packages of services, based on how our customers use our services.

We do not do “black box” consulting: we don't do it for you, we work with and mentor your staff to build your skills.

All packages optionally encompass more extensive support as your project continues.

Package One—Focus Your Product or Project

This package is designed for early stage technology startups. Have an experienced software architect and product developer work with you to refine your product definition, design, and delivery.

We specialize in short engagements. We will spend two to three days with you, working with you to clarify and express the key value of your product and company. You will receive a written report, technical marketing guidance, and hands-on consultation to focus your product and get buyers.

We will, at your option, do periodic or on-demand reviews of progress, materials, and assist with customer interactions.

Package Two—Project Review

This package supports IT managers, CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs who need a brief but penetrating review of project status, direction, and concrete steps to improve results.

A large percentage of software projects never complete, wasting time, resources, and increasing opportunity cost for your business. This package includes two to three days with you reviewing your project goals, definition, design, and development status. You will receive a written report, including suggested changes in (where appropriate) your definition, design, development, and/or delivery plans, as well as optional continuing consultation to get the project on track and keep it on track.

Package Three—Customer Relationships

This package is for organizations with a product ready for trials with potential customers. It's designed for product managers, business managers, CTOs, and CEOs.

We help you define your technical interactions with your customer or customers, ensuring that their technical requirements are met (or recommending how to meet them), and to work through issues that arise during trial periods.

You will receive a written report for each customer interaction, assistance in developing your technical marketing material, and optional continuing support to develop your staff's skills

Package Four—Due Diligence for Potential Acquisition

Just as we work on the sell side of the technology business, the same skills apply to the buy side.

This package is for private equity firms, venture capitalists, and others who are considering investing in a company or product. We do not provide an appraisal of the value, we provide a detailed technical analysis of the quality of the product, the clarity of the definition and technical marketing material, and how to improve value after an acquisition or investment.
