    • slick graphics produced by an independent service bureau,
    • a BetterVIEW solution.

Cost effective solution? Depends. Do you have experienced graphics artists on staff? If not, are you prepared to pay your technical staff to learn to use graphic tools? Is this the best use of their time and talent? Will the "graphics tools learning curve" postpone project completion? Probably not. Although the graphics quality will likely be very good to excellent, independent design firms tend to be rather expensive. In addition, time will be required to integrate the graphics into your application. Yes. We can design, integrate and deploy a great looking, intuitive interface that not only makes your application unique, but also makes it easier to learn and operate. In addition, a better looking application is more appealing to potential clients and/ or decision-making managers.
