Custom Application Development

Our teams bring a disciplined approach to traditional and Agile project management that provides predictable results and minimizes risks. Regardless of your platform preference, we provide an objective perspective and expertise that extends beyond traditional custom software development. When packaged solutions and software aren’t sufficient or flexible enough for your enterprise, PMCS can custom-build applications to meet your needs – delivering on our promise of doing a common thing uncommonly.

PMCS custom application development professionals are technology experts with proven experience developing a variety of software applications, including:

The DC Tuition Assistance Grant online application and backend processing solution that integrates with colleges/universities throughout the United States for processing over $300M in financial aid grants for students to go to college. This application received the Digital Education Achievement Award from the Center for Digital Government.
The Direct Certification online processing and reporting system that automates the eligibility process for identifying low-income students that are categorically eligible to receive free meals. This application received a number of accolades from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and was highlighted in a 2013 USDA produced newsletter.
Additional applications, such as Grants Management, and more.

We’ll look for ways to leverage existing architecture and tools to reduce costs as we design dynamic solutions to meet your needs.
