SERVICES


RK Associates specializes in developing web sites that are really web based business applications. A simple example is a scheduling system that allows customers of a service company to schedule appointments on-line.

The company determines the schedule available for service calls, how many per day, AM and PM and other pertinent information. Through an administrative "backend", available only through a secure login that the company knows, the schedule is established. Customers go to the website and log in using a pre-assigned ID and password and schedule appointments. The company can view appointments in several ways (by date, zip code, etc.) and often print hard copy reports, sometimes for service technicians to take on service calls.

Normally, each such scheduling application is somewhat different from another since most companies have their own specific requirements.

There are MANY other types of internet applications. Ecommerce, secure portals, non-profits, etc. Examples of some of these developed by RK Associates can be seen here.

We also offer the following other services:

STARTUP WEBSITES

Many small companies want a simple website to act as a starting point for their business. We have developed hundreds of these, usually 3 to 5 pages, maybe with a contact form where someone interested in the company products / services can send in a form. Typically, we do these sites for a small fixed fee that includes the domain registration and one year of hosting.



WEB DATABASES

Almost every useful thing you can do on the internet involves interaction with a database. You can't see the database, but on the web server or elsewhere on the internet there is a database that contains sometimes a VAST amount of information. Ever look at AutoTrader on-line? Notice the number of years, makes and models that are shown, plus all the options. All this information comes from a database.

At RK Associates, we are experts with web databases and the technologies needed to build them, make them secure and make them fast so that customers and others accessing the web site don't have to wait for a result.

WEB DESIGN

RK Associates has designed and built hundreds of web sites that span many industries. If you are looking for a simple startup site or a more sophisticated site with many sections, animation, pulldown menus and other features, our expert designers can match your expectations and build you a custom site SPECIFICALLY geared to EXACTLY what you want.

We have the resources and experience to make the site you want on schedule and at a very competitive price.


CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing is a fancy name for business applications that run on the internet as opposed to on in-house computers that a specific business controls. The advantages of Cloud Computing are mainly two things. First, a robust real world business application can be built that does not require any physical resources other than normal desktop computers that can access the internet. Second, availability to the application is global. Anyone with the right access rights (usually a UserID and a password) can access the application from anywhere, wirelessly or from a remote desktop.

A good example of Cloud Computing built by RK Associates is our student testing application, SEBA On-Line. In this situation, students, teachers and district administrators from schools across the USA can access the system, take tests, get scored results and do all the other administrative functions necessary to manage a full scale business application from only an internet connected computer.

OTHER SERVICES

We also offer these services:
  • Computer Systems Consulting - With many years of experience in implementing and building business computer systems plus IT management experience, RK Associates can assist with evaluating computer solutions, with developing requirements documents or writing RFP's for new systems acquisition.


  • Systems Implementation - We have provided technical and project management experience in the deployment of new systems, either to provide a newly needed capability or to replace an existing older system with a new capability.
