PHILOSOPHY

Quality Please

With the prevalence of the outsourcing model and the use of frameworks and tools that have been well marketed but poorly produced, overall software quality is nowhere that it can and should be. Quality software development isn't generally a subject that is understood and sought after these days and it's become rare to actually have a product delivered that you are happy with as a result.

Keep it On-Shore

The Media should be buzzing about jobs starting to return to the US after a long and ineffective stint overseas. We've been saying since the fad started that the jobs would eventually be back when the corporate world finally woke up and realized that it was a total waste of time and created more harm than good.

Face-to-Face Communication

Whether it's in person or over video conference, we believe in having a lot of face-to-face time. A substantial portion of our meetings should be done in person rather than remotely. Modern tools do make it easier to have such meetings, but there is no substitute for good old fashioned in-person communication. This creates a better end product and a better overall relationship.

Customer Independence

You should never become dependent on Latitude 40 or any other company. We try to do everything possible to help you keep that independence. If you ever decide to go elsewhere, you should be free and able to find another development firm to easily adopt and maintain your code.

Your Involvement is Key

Nobody knows your business or vision better than you do. Our business analysts can learn as much as they can from you, but nobody will ever be an adequate replacement for your deepest level of knowledge.

The only way we can succeed with your project is by making you the most valuable member of the project team and involving you from beginning to end.
