Proven Software Development Solutions For The Front-Line Government Offices & Departments Serving America’s Needs… And The Businesses That Support Our Government!

— Overview, Process & Tips —

Intertech’s specialized teams work in universal best practices, no matter the framework or technology required, whether concerned with security or dealing with workarounds because the software is outdated or not meant for the task at hand.

Intertech consultants upgrade and create new solutions that impact decisions in the boardroom based on your proprietary data and help to identify hidden issues while speeding up your business processes that impact customers and employees.

If You Can Think It Up, We Can Help You Build It. If It’s Already In Place And Needs To Be Updated… We Can Do That Too!

Our team leaders listen to your ideas, identify solutions that fit your requirements, and propose technology upgrades or new technologies, toolsets, and libraries suited to your environment.

Intertech follows a proven process that ensures that all bases are covered, whether our consultants are taking on the project by themselves, we are working with someone else’s consultants, or teamed up with your employees. Next, we get to work using universally accepted development best practices and document each step so you realize an end product that does what you need and is maintainable. And finally, if requested, we can suggest ways to collect and filter your proprietary data so you put it to work through predictive modeling and process automation, reducing manual errors, increasing efficiency, and helping with more accurate forecasting.

If It Is Repetitive, We Can Probably Automate It.

Almost any area that is repetitive can be automated. These areas can fall under clerical tasks, customer service, global manufacturing, support services, data modeling, compliance, and just about anything you can think of that is repetitive, based on timing, or links to historical precedence.

For example, consider any high-volume area within your department or across the company that may have to follow compliance laws, is time-sensitive or generates recurring data. BPA can reduce the time related to these tasks. Moreover, personal expenses related to repetitive work can be eliminated, allowing for more satisfying and less stressful work conditions. As your business changes, the software can adjust, and this elasticity does not fight change. Well-developed software provides output immediately and links your entire company together, so everyone realizes the benefits discovered.

Determine Where Automation Fits Into Your Business Process.

Ask These Questions

Question #1Do you currently have a set of tasks that follow specific rules? Most repetitive tasks are based on a set of rules. When programmed into the software these rules allow the application to take over and increase efficiency while providing consistent data across the process, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Question #2Does the task have anticipated inputs and outputs? Even if the input and output have multiple options, it is still redundant. It can be designed to react specifically to each condition, eliminating time to respond and providing a seamless transition forward.

Question #3Does the task have multiple repetitive steps? Collecting and evaluating content can be laborious. By automating steps to react to specific responses, the data can be collected, evaluated, and calculated in a split second while instantaneously analyzed and stored for AI and decision-making later.

Ask Yourself If The Benefits Are Worth The Investment Before Proceeding.

When it comes time to invest in a new application, the software feasibility study is crucial in understanding what you need. Before making a decision, it is essential to understand the current situation, pinpoint the pain points, and work with an experienced technical asset to assess the various options available to you. Next run your numbers through an ROI calculator.

Rule #1: If a prepackaged Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution does what you need, it should be considered. However, any Software-as-a-Service will begin to dictate your decisions, hamstring you to a solution that may appear less expensive but, in the end, require time-consuming process changes and additional services to do what you wanted in the first place.

Resource: Quick Software Feasibility Outline
Where Should You Start?

Determine Your Company's Appetite For Updates & Automated Improvements

Determine the mood of your organization toward upgrades and automation. Buy-in from key stakeholders is required. Software upgrades and process automation changes impact how work gets done and can generate fear that jobs will be eliminated rather than create a more efficient and enjoyable workplace. And when considering budget make sure to calculate ROI over a realistic period, understanding that your business will need to rely on automation to stay competitive.

Identify Processes That May Lend Themselves To Upgrades & Automation

There are two items to consider. The first one is which of your processes take up considerable time and are repetitive. The repetition can be spread over hours or days, but it is likely they can be eliminated. The second item to consider is what is being generated from the current process. If data is the result, stakes are higher because all data generated should allow your business leaders to peer into the future, helping steer the company based on accurate data.

Identify Specific Steps Within Each Application & Process For Update

After identifying potential processes for update and automation, outline the specific steps within each process that you believe can be improved or eliminated. The existing process must be improved enough to make automation worth the time and investment, so take care in evaluating each step within each process. Consider speaking with your internal business analyst and IT department as well, and then contacting Intertech to help you assess your operation.

At the same time, it would also let school administrators track, review, add to, correct, route, and approve student enrollment applications all electronically.

Call Center Software for Federal Government Health Services

A respected Minnesota-based Federal Government Health Services contractor required .NET and Angular assistance developing proprietary, cutting-edge call center software that would provide health consultation to our veterans. Working remotely alongside the client’s team, Intertech consultants took on leadership positions for the teams, providing guidance, expertise, and project management.

Emergency Relief Database and Performance Optimization

Throughout its growth, an organization will experience a surplus of data. Over time, performance will decrease due to a combination of a legacy system and excess data growth. This issue hit one of the world’s largest relief and development organizations–one that manages billions in operational funds for providing emergency relief, education, health care, economic development, and justice for those in need globally. The organization operates as a federation of interdependent national offices with three different levels of central control. Intertech’s job was to help fix the performance issues, solve other problems related to the surplus of data, and optimize the system.

Comprehensive & Secure Fee Management System

One place that is always in need of technology, now more than ever, is our schools. Our customer, a technology and educational information service leader required an integrated and comprehensive fee management system that allowed parents, students, and districts to pay fees through the web seamlessly while linking multiple applications previously developed by another outside resource.

Team Foundation Server Audit and Implementation

Helping those that genuinely need their help, this State Government Agency ensures that seniors, people with disabilities, children, and others meet their basic needs and have the opportunity to reach their full potential. After determining the requirements for the project, they turned to Intertech to outline a set of deliverables and a process that would quickly identify barriers impeding productivity.

Updating of Legacy Data Collection System To Improve Performance For Job Seekers, Employers & Agency

Our government agencies require accurate data to comply with extensive reporting requirements. The issue was that the legacy system was not keeping up with needs, and data was not being used to its full potential. Turning to Intertech to update its legacy data collection system, the team tasked with the project made the reporting process more comfortable and accurate, including a significant update to their dedicated website for job seekers and prospective employers.

Modernization Of Decades-Old Information System For National Network Of Schools

National nonprofit, operating sixteen specialized schools and focused on special education services, faced challenges operating their aging IT systems. Deciding it was time to act, they approached Intertech in the hopes that they could upgrade their systems and add some much-needed functionalities.

Modernize Web Framework For National Legal and Financial Services Provider's Flagship Application Using React

Nationally recognized legal and financial services provider required assistance implementing a modern web framework for the refactor of their flagship application. Until then, the application used Adobe Flex, relied on Flash for rendering, and could no longer be maintained. Within 12 weeks, Intertech helped the client’s IT team deliver a completely redesigned application using React’s front-end library.
