Delivering quality solutions

Network and business consulting firms come in every configuration and size. From national firms that focus on their "proven" methodologies and large implementation teams to individual consultants skilled in a single technology or discipline. At NetTempo, we offer a unique combination of technology expertise and practical experience that both the national firms and individual consultants fail to match. We work with new companies or divisions of large enterprises in two specific ways to deliver quality solutions on time and on budget. First, we design and implement systems infrastructure. We help you to select networks, systems, databases, and applications to get your company or time-sensitive projects up and running. Founded in 1988, we have extensive experience in multiple industries overseeing everything required to get your business, your team, and your project up and operational -- fast. Second, we help you launch "Release 1.0." We manage critical stages, modifications, or extensions of a project/product launch or oversee the entire process. We complement your internal teams and free up internal resources so you can focus on building staff, market share, and brand awareness. At NetTempo, we focus on delivering working solutions to real business challenges in four disciplines: network, systems, and database design and implementation, and all facets of application development. We are skilled in a variety of operating systems, languages, and tools. We have consultants, engineers, and developers trained and certified by industry leading organizations including Cisco Systems, Check Point, and Oracle. And we have an extensive track record of getting the job done right for companies of virtually every size and industry. But what really distinguishes NetTempo is our approach.

The best technology for the job

Our team is comprised of experts in network, systems, database, and application design. We believe wholeheartedly in leveraging proven technologies, however we are not afraid to be on the cutting edge when necessary. After years of experience designing, building, and implementing networks and systems infrastructure, we have an excellent grasp of which of the latest technologies are critical and can drive the greatest return on investment. At NetTempo, we don’t recommend a technology action plan unless we know it will grow and evolve with your business. We’re not focused on “playing” with new technologies. We’re focused on designing and implementing solutions that work.

Design it right—from the start

From our perspective, the design phase is critical to the ultimate success of a project. This is because design is the blueprint. It affects how well your systems address business needs, as well as their longer-term flexibility, reliability, and manageability. Whether we’re implementing a new database design for a biotechnology group or building a custom application for genetic research, design is a NetTempo core strength.

Build it to grow with your business

There is absolutely nothing static about business or technology. That’s why we focus on issues affecting expandability and scalability in every project we undertake—regardless of whether it’s hardware- or software-oriented, a major launch, or a project enhancement.

We embrace challenge—nothing’s too simple or complex

This isn’t true of all firms. Some firms are better at executing against well-defined and common business needs. At NetTempo, we’ve spent years solving unusual, complex, and one-of-a-kind challenges. We seek out these opportunities. We’ll help define all aspects of the challenge, set team parameters, create an action plan, and regularly communicate progress against the scope of work.

Your business. Your project. Your solution

While we have a structured approach and years of experience that we leverage every time we take on a new project, we do not approach your business with a standard methodology. We come with an open mind, a track record of success, and a commitment to deliver a solution that works. This means we don’t impose a rigid consulting framework. We work with your processes to deliver solutions that work for your business.
