CLARC Services, Inc. - Custom Programming

CLARC Services utilizes a program design philosophy that promotes ease of use. Programs are designed to work the way you work - not to force you to change the way you do business.

CLARC Custom Applications can be designed from the ground up, as an outer module to a core, third-party product, or as a bridge between products. From initial client meetings and proposals to the finished product, CLARC offers full support throughout the entire design process and beyond.

We specialize in helping businesses select and implement accounting systems, vertical applications, office productivity software and hardware platforms in Windows environments. Realizing that each company is unique in its own needs, we customize software to meet the particular needs specified by our clients. Training and ongoing support is provided for all solutions installed by CLARC Services, Inc.

	Needs Analysis - Analysis is a very important phase of the program development process. Having performed analyses for many different companies and hundreds of applications in the past, we know what to ask, who to ask, and how to ask it to get the information we need quickly and efficiently. We will quickly develop a series of screen displays and reports detailing the proposed operation of the application so you can get your comments integrated before we begin coding. Using pre-built programming methods and other components, CLARC is able to decrease development time because many components that your application will need have already been built! Many times we can do a quick change of the properties of a component and have it ready to go for your application in minutes! This is the beauty of object-oriented programming and CLARC makes great use of it. Also, our many years of development have led to a large library of components and tools that we can use. We have strict guidelines on naming and coding conventions, so any one programmer can always easily understand what another programmer has done.
	Visual FoxPro - For speed in the small to medium sized network environment, Visual FoxPro is an outstanding platform. Visual FoxPro is stronger than ever with the release of the excellent 8.0 version, and any investment in the code is safe. For fast native database business development, FoxPro is an outstanding choice.
	Visual Basic - Visual Basic is also an excellent choice for Client/Server development. By using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) drivers VB can be used as a front-end to many database products, including Oracle, SQL-Server, Sybase and FoxPro. Development time is much less than with other Client/Server solutions, such as PowerBuilder or the Oracle Line, and with the latest database connectivity options, execution and access speed is just as good, if not better, than these much more expensive and proprietary solutions.
	Web Design - Web design is quickly becoming the most popular type of development. We are up on the latest in the ever-changing software and platforms of the Internet, and there is a host of web development options: HTML, dynamic HTML, CGI, Java, Visual Basic, Visual InterDev, FrontPage, VBScript, JavaScript, JavaBeans, ActiveX, Dreamweaver, the list goes on. CLARC has utilized detailed development strategies for its customers. For browser-independent standard and database-driven web sites, we program utilizing a combination of cutting-edge products. This solution allows us to offer our customers high-quality web sites at low prices.
