Eureka!'s
venture technology service is designed for newly formed
start-ups wishing to get a head start on their product
development process. Through this service we build a
long term partnership with a client who defines the
venture, while we create the enabling technology for the
venture.
Our venture technology clients leverage our experienced team for
project planning, management, development, test, QA, release
control, and ongoing support. We provide our partners with a
complete product life-cycle engineering team, in place on day
one, at a fraction of the cost of building internally.
By using Eureka!'s proven team, our partners always have access
to engineers with the appropriate skills needed for a particular
situation, but only need to pay for those skills while they are
being used. A start-up can't afford to have a full staff of
experts especially in areas tangential to their main line of
business. Utilizing our team, the start-up has all the
advantages their larger competitors have on a start-up company
budget.
Start-ups tend to rely on one or two super gurus who do it all.
However, no single engineer can do or think of everything.
A team is needed so ideas can be looked at from many
perspectives before solutions are cast in concrete. Trying
to do everything can provide a rush of adrenaline at
first, but can be very stressful. If the super gurus burn out
and leave, most of the technology goes with them and the
start-up's only hope is to find an even stronger engineer to
come in and pick up the pieces.
Our team has worked
together for years as a cohesive unit. We know what each member
of the team does best and have earned a solid reputation for
delivering quality software on time and within budget. Eureka!
provides the means for cost conscience start-ups to address
critical time to market issues without sacrificing quality.
Technology start-up companies work with Eureka! in much the same
way as they do with venture capital firms. When a venture
capital firm invests in a start-up they become a partner with
the company. Through our venture technology service, Eureka!
also invests in the start-up and becomes a partner.
Together, we work to build a successful
business entity.
The venture technology process begins with our senior computer
architects performing a comprehensive technical analysis of the
product idea, creating an overall architecture, detailed
specifications, and a realistic project plan to meet the
marketing and sales goals of the start-up business. With a
project plan in place, one of our experienced project managers
takes control to guide the project to a successful completion.
This involves utilizing the extensive engineering experience of
our development team. The project manager makes sure that an
engineer with the proper background and skill set is assigned to
each task. We are relentless in our commitment to the project
plan as we focus our attention towards completing and delivering
the highest quality product on time and within budget.
The relationships we build with our start-up clients are
long term partnerships. When the first product is delivered,
our support team kicks in so the ball is never dropped. As
marketing feedback on the new product generates new ideas and
requirements for follow on products, our senior architects are
once again available to begin the new product life cycle.
While the original developers may be implementing something for
a different client, they are always available when their
assistance is required. Eureka!'s venture technology service is
an easy way to assure this. The engineers with the skills to
architect and implement new products need to be on the cutting
edge. Our engineers are able to remain on the cutting edge even
when the workload from one client doesn't require such demanding
attention.
Successful partnerships require open honest and effective
communication. We maintain constant communication with our
clients throughout the product life cycle. We understand
that the only way for
Eureka! to succeed is for our venture technology partners to succeed.
