Specialized One-on-One Engagements

Acadian Media currently takes on information technology projects on a singular basis in order to provide the highest level of customer support. However, if you would like to discuss ideas about your next Web based initiative, we would be more than pleased to assist you with the analysis and planning phases of the project. If we're unable to assist you with the implementation and support phases, we can recommend suitable partners to help you with your IT needs.

Here is a brief overview of the types of engagements we take on:

Site Building - High level Web site design (UI) and development. We emphasize the use of Web templates to save our clients valuable time and money by customizing predefined architecture and graphic designs. Why pay to re-invent the wheel?

We Utilize Open Standards

In most instances, Acadian Media follows open industry standards when recommending, coding and supporting software for it's clients. For example, the company recommends software that follows open standards specified by industry organizations such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Likewise, the company recommends software that is often considered the de facto standard, such as Microsoft Windows and Exchange Server. Although Windows and Exchange are proprietary, the systems are widely supported throughout the world offering customers a level of comfort unmatched in the industry.

On occasion, our company may utilize so-called open source software that conforms to newer "Web 2.0" standards. Open source software is typically a community driven process whereby tens of thousands of programmers contribute to the development of operating systems, browsers, and application software. Unfortunately, finding unified support may sometimes prove difficult to obtain.
