A: On the small end, our clients are working on $50,000 budgets per project. Most projects that size run 3 months. On the large end, projects can span multiple years and run into the millions.

Q: Why doesn’t SRT Solutions focus on one set of technologies? Why maintain expertise across platforms and channels?

A: We have a team with diverse experience. We add to that experience with dedicated
learning time during which developers can check out new languages and tools. Those experiences help us choose the right technology for your project.

Often projects require integrating technologies. We may recommend that you build your web application using Ruby and HTML5, or your rich internet application (RIA) in .Net and Flex.

Platform diversity also helps us find the best way to break up large projects. By creating many, smaller deliverable pieces of software, we can deliver business value to our customers early in the development process.

Q: Does SRT Solutions offer a staff augmentation service/model?
