Bringing Higher Standards to Existing Systems

HAFD Consulting is a Chicago‐based firm which specializes in helping clients fix problems in their existing web‐based infrastructure by identifying and replacing legacy components that have become a technical liability for the organization.

Professional Development for the Web

The web has been a major buisness application platform for not much more than ten years. Yet in that time, it has become an essential tool for accessing new markets, and for office automation. Firms now find themselves with a vast array of web‐based applications operating throughout their organization.

But while the benefits of embracing the web have been huge, many of the early web applications were built upon now‐obsolete technology stacks by programmers who did not approach the development process with the rigor required when writing serious, mission‐critical software.

HAFD Consulting applies the rigor and professionalism necessary to replace that software with systems that will be reliable in meeting your current needs, and that will be flexible enough to provide buisness value well into the future.

Leveraging Open Source Technology

The business case for open source technology products is undeniable. When one considers the licensing costs of the proprietary alternatives to major open source server infrastructure, the savings in that alone can dramatically reduce the cost of the project.

What’s more, by building upon open source applications such as Django and Drupal, HAFD Consulting can offer software products that are customized to your exact needs for suprising little total development cost. This can be done without compromising on quality or function because the development effort can focus on just those areas that need customization, and not be spent reproducing functions that already exist.
