What Makes ASP²  Different?

In short: We know, how to create clean and robust ASP 3.0 solutions

We do not expect that you will understand instantly, how comprehensive support you get once you hire us. That is why we have prepared a small breakdown of the most important differences and features of our unique Classic ASP by Gurus service. So, if you have the time, please read below what we have to offer. Otherwise, if you are already convinced, feel free to ask for quotation today and change your Classic ASP experience forever.

You can rely on us. And we mean it

We think this is the most important thing. Mutual trust is essential in any type of software project. And you will not succeed with a team or individual, that:

- Blows away all of your budget delivering little or none tangible business value
- Considers prototype-quality code to be ready for prime time and deployment to production
- Signs off at 4pm, because they have just ended the shift and "will take care of your blocking issue tomorrow"
- Does not understand the business implications of each project

Especially in the world of Classic ASP, poor final product quality and bad overall experience has unfortunately been very common. And that is, fortunately, a complete opposite of what you get from us.

Did you know?

Classic ASP is considered by many as a technology, where all you can get is a messy, unmanageable, totally mixed-up code, while in reality, it is 100% able to produce code as clean as for example ASP.NET MVC2.

With over 15 years of experience and University IT degrees

We know what we do. We have not learned what we know on weekend courses or by reading one or maybe even a few books. People think, that it is so easy to cook up something in this technology. They call themselves experts even if they do not posess all the required knowledge and experience. In fact, the reality is that it is quite complicated to do things right.

All of us have similar experience and educational background, with university master's degrees in IT technologies. We know all possible aspects of software development. We know dozens of computer programming languages (such as Basic, C++, C#, Pascal, ADA, PHP, Perl, TSQL, PL/SQL, VB, Ruby et cetera). Multitude of frameworks. Different management practices. Over the course of our careers we have written software for platforms ranging from 8bit computers to high-end mainframes that you see in banks. And yet, we have a very sharp focus on Classic ASP and this is where we consider ourselves to be real gurus.

We have started designing and implementing Classic ASP solutions 15 years ago, with the dawn of ASP 1.0 technology. And we have brought it to the point, where it can still be very useful in most applications.

Did you know?

Were you aware of the fact, that we are based in European Union, Poland, the city of Wroclaw?
And did you know, that Wroclaw is the home of consecutive Team Programming World Cup Champions teams. Microsoft Imagine Cup winners also live and work here.

A service provider of choice for many

We are proud to have customers ranging from small one-man shops through SME to large corporations. And we have a special treatment for each of our customers.

and many others...

Did you know?

Classic ASP has been chosen to implement 1000s of web sites. Among the technology adopters you will find such big names as Digg.com, LinkedIn.com, Weather.com and DoubleClick.com.

Business oriented approach

This is something that comes with very specific experience only. And some of us were very lucky to have such experience, and since we form a successfull team, we share knowledge and experiences among us.

In the course of our professional career, some of us:

- Managed small to mid-sized development departaments for Internet portal companies
- Were responsible for end-to-end management of a mid-sized startup company in the role of Chairman of the Board
- Ran a one-man company, fighting for customers and managing business

This created a very unique blend of IT-related, very focused and specialized experience and in-deep understaning of business requirements and implications of business environment changes to the software development process.

Did you know?

According to independent studies, a vast majority of software developers does not know nor understand how to run a business and the importance of ROI factors.

Attention to details, proven with ASP² Framework

Code mess has always been the most common sin of all Classic ASP solutions. In most of the cases, applications written using this technology feature a complete mess of user interface mixed with business logic and data access. And very often, in a very peculiar way. By our standards, such applications can be considered as working prototypes only and are not suitable for day-to-day production use.

We are the sole authors of the only comprehensive MVC framework for Classic ASP, the ASP² Framework. We have developed it in-house for our internar purposes and use with great success in most of our projects, living a happy life of developers having well architected solutions to maintain.

Did you know?

ASP² Framework is the only MCV type complete Classic ASP framework with full session persistency architecture. And being SEO-oriented, all websites have much better potential to place higher on search engines, thanks to SEO friendly URLs! Isn' that great news?

We Plan. We Think. And can deliver 70% faster than others

Yes, that is so true. People think, that planning is something that you can just skip. Especially with technologies like Classic ASP, where there are absolutely no limits on how much mess you may introduce into the solution that you create.

People don't like to think. It hurts to think. Better create something and insist, that it's what you really wanted. What is very bad is that if you have no or little technical background, and you are not as skilled in Classic ASP as we are, you will be sold a pig in a poke. And you will not know about it until you hit the wall. And than, it is too late...

While brainstorming and planning, we like to use the power of Concept Mapping and Mind Mapping. Later down the road, we like to create endless walls of Scrum and Kanban inspired planning boards.

Did you know?

People like to hang things on their walls. Pictures, posters, totems from their last trip to Africa.
Our walls are a little bit different. We essentially build them using whiteboards and tons of paper.

Modern approach to team development

We focus on customer value via constant business-driven prioritization of features and regular customer feedback, managing uncertainty and risk through evolutionary (iterative and incremental) product development. Utilize intense collaboration and feedback via maximum communication to deliver high quality through plan-do-study-act continuous improvement cycles and facilitate learning and adaptation to change.

It produces clear business results - a working piece of reliable software.

The mix of all of the above makes our end-to-end approach very unique on the market. And this is by no means a marketing slogan. We think and breath Classic ASP, while at the same time we have specifically created and implemented modern tools and agile team development practics. We use Scrum methodology whenever possible, and prefer iterative test based development. And our clients has never been happier after working with us. Plan => Code => Test => Refactor. This is our motto.

Did you know?

Agile development has been adopted by the world’s leading IT companies, including Google, Microsoft, IBM, Symantec, Yahoo and many others.

Full coverage for all Classic ASP and related technologies

You name it, you've got it. For example:

- Server-Side VBScript and JScript, driven to the max ^*)
- COM+ with Windows DNA architecture
- MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture with our custom ASP² Framework
- Full SQL Server 7.0 to 2008R2 coverage, including performance optimization
- Data Warehousing OLAP solutions with SQL Server 2005 and 2008

Did you know?

^*) It is possible to write near-full OO solutions using pure server-side VBScript and JScript only? Including custom events and full blown SOA architecture? This is for example how we wrote our MVC framework. And we are very proud of what we came up with.

We know how to make Classic ASP speak e-Marketing

Having a vast knowledge of e-Marketing, we have created our ASP² Framework with SEO and e-Marketing in mind. Just to mention, that:

- Our web applications are SEO-friendly out of the box thanks to search engines friendly URLs and internal linking
- Our framework supports highly customizable AB Split Testing out of the box
- Our framework supports PPC campaigns (e.g. Google AdWords) tracking out of the box
- We can track pretty much all user activity on the page, down to each mouse movement, and turn this information into a business value
- We can present all information in easy to use dashboards and Excel pivot tables, with data warehouse in the backend

If you are interested in business consulting, including custom e-Marketing solutions, we 100% recommend our friends at Software Submit.NET.

Did you know?

It took us only 2 days to implement a full-fledged Split AB Testing plug-in for ASP² Framework, including reporting dashboard. And we mean it, fully functional.

We pass independent security assessments with 100% score

Over the course of our company history, we have developed many solutions which required to match the highest security standards. Such applications ranged from for nationwide tour operator to e-Banking solution allowing an access to $bln assets.

In all such occasions we had the opportunity to submit our applications for independent security assessment, and each time we have passed with a 100% score. Today, even the simpliest of our solutions follow very strict security standards.

Did you know?

Most Classic ASP applications are prone to even the most primitive attacks, which may lead to service outages, losing your precious data or even personal identity theft.

Real time information about the current state of the project

Last but not least, we are aware of the fact, that knowing the current state of the project is extremely important. That is why we have implemented the world's most feature rich and informative issue and project tracking solutions, JIRA by Attlasian, YouTRACK by JetBrains and Trac by Edgewall.

Did you know?

We have implemented three different tracking solutions to give our customers a freedom of choice. Each of those applications offer a different set of features and apply to different scale projects, and are availabie at a different cost.

And so many more...

There are endless reasons why you should choose us over some cheap guy in India or Pakistan (sorry, guys... no offence intended). Yes, we are more expensive than they are. But only on the surface. We consider our services to be very cheap, given the value that they give and the peace of mind that you have when working with us.
