Customer:
Global Systems Consulting
Industry:
Hardware Infrastructure Management
Location:
Mountain View, CA, USA
Customer Requirements
Based in Silicon Valley, Global Systems Consulting, a managed hosting provider, wanted to enable their customers and sales people to design custom server hardware and network infrastructure without requiring assistance from a network/hardware specialist. They envisioned an interactive web based application that could "behave" like a specialist, make recommendations on network, security, and server hardware. The idea was to improve customer service and shorten the inquiry-to-quote cycle.
Why the customer chose to work with GoodCore
We started off by sending an informal set of requirements in an email to GoodCore. With the help of a prototype, and by asking all the right questions, they helped us realize and refine our idea. We made the decision to work with them when we saw an incredible level of understanding and a commitment to delivering a solution on time and within our budget.

Customer:
GolfCatch Solutions
Industry:
Sports
Location:
Chicago, IL, USA
Customer Requirements
GolfCatch Solutions, a start-up company, approached GoodCore with the idea of an electronic Tee Sheet for golf courses. It started off with a one page informal description of the features sent to us by our client. After analyzing the idea, doing several discussions via phone and email, GoodCore came up with a fixed time & cost estimate.
Why the customer chose to work with GoodCore
We emailed them a brief word document containing the outline of requirements we had in mind. GoodCore worked with us to learn about the industry and how the tee time reservation process works at golf clubs. It gave us comfort that they quickly acquired that vital business knowledge and they were able to communicate with us with a decent level of understanding about the business processes. Since they acquired that knowledge at the start, we knew they will make the right software design choices.

Customer Requirements
Villissima, a start-up in the luxury travel industry, approached GoodCore with the requirement for a multi-lingual website with a tailor-made content management system and tools for the management of a large portfolio of villas, agents, and customer inquiries.
Why the customer chose to work with GoodCore
As part of our start-up plan, we needed to get the first version of the website up in a quality fashion but at a fairly low cost. It was easy to decide when we saw that GoodCore demonstrated a high level of understanding about our requirements and maintained quality communication right from the start. Moreover, the rates they offered us enabled us to pursue functionality we would not have considered otherwise.
