Why choose us?
In today's competitive business climate, implementing the
right technology can make the difference between profitability
and disaster. How do you choose the right firm to design a solution
for your needs? At D.M.Hoffer Consulting, we believe that two
factors are pivotal: the quality of the firm's work, and the caliber
of its personnel.
Our Work
At D.M.Hoffer Consulting, we believe that the successful
execution of a project depends on a multitude of factors working
in perfect harmony. Since our most important priority is customer
delight- not merely customer satisfaction- we work hard to make
sure that every project is carefully planned in advance, and supervised
throughout its execution.
Our initial phase consists of accurately assessing the needs
of the client. Since some clients may not be fully up to date
on the present state of technology, it is our job not only to
evaluate the feasibility of the specific project the client has
in mind, but also to recommend possible alternative approaches,
solutions, or technologies that may enhance the impact of the
final product. After the optimal approach is agreed upon, a cost
estimate is prepared. In order to protect the client financially,
we guarantee that the cost of the finished project will never
be more than 20% above the cost quoted in the formal written estimate.
When the actual work on the project begins, one or more members
of the D.M.Hoffer Consulting staff is assigned by the President,
Daniel Hoffer, to handle the project. With a staff of roughly
half a dozen employees in addition to a number of specialists
available for more unusual assignments, the company is simultaneously
small enough that the President can personally supervise every
single project and serve as the primary liaison to the client
(if desired) but large enough that our combined staff can excel
at a very wide range of skills and technologies. With the President
overseeing every project, none is ever delegated to an employee
too inexperienced to handle it and each one is guaranteed to get
the experienced attention that it deserves. When special or unique
sets of skills are required to complete a project, or when projects
must be finished especially quickly, D.M.Hoffer Consulting can
enlist the aid of our extra "on-call" staff to accomplish whatever
is needed.
At D.M.Hoffer Consulting, our constant emphasis on communication
requires us to maintain frequent, regular contact with the client,
submitting our work for periodic review and approval at predefined
intervals. This allows the client to monitor our progress at every
step along the way, and allows our staff to incorporate the client's
feedback throughout the process.
We believe that our commitment to engendering positive synergy
with the client as well as our ability to leverage the skills
of our unique and talented staff virtually guarantees results
that will delight even our most demanding clients.
Our Staff
At D.M.Hoffer Consulting, we believe that the quality of
the work we do is directly related to the quality of the people
we hire. As a result, D.M.Hoffer Consulting is constantly dedicating
time, energy and resources to finding and recruiting the most
qualified personnel available. Our employees come from all sorts
of backgrounds, but they share several important characteristics:
they are intelligent, ambitious, passionate about their work,
and committed to delivering perfection.
We select our employees based on a number of criteria. First,
we examine their past performance in both their professional and
academic life. As of spring, 1998, five of our seven dedicated
staff members had a Harvard University education. Professionally,
our staff brings experience from working at companies all over
the country- including a number of Fortune 500 corporations- to
bear on their projects for D.M.Hoffer Consulting. During our interviewing
process, we come to know our prospective employees very well through
a thorough examination of either their design portfolios or their
software development project archives. Additionally, we carefully
evaluate their interpersonal skills to determine how comfortably
and professionally they will be able to relate to clients.
Performance of the highest caliber follows naturally from
our commitment to choosing the most qualified and the most dedicated
personnel. We are confident that our clients will be delighted
not only with our employees but with the professional results
that they produce.
