Strategy & Analysis

If looking to build an online or mobile business, how does the reality of present technology affect your business model and, importantly, what road-map should you be looking at for the next 12, 18 or 24 months? Will a VC tear your business plan apart? Is my existing business going to benefit commercially or strategically from this? In-house development or outsourced?

Gaddo has advised both start-ups and existing businesses looking to expand their reach on questions such as these, allowing you to avoid the problems that even the most experienced businesses make later on, by planning and proofing your business plan and providing market intelligence you require to drive your organization forward.

Technical Design & Architecture

Where it comes to technology, Gaddo believes in the right tool for the right job. The most common pitfall in any IT project is that the wrong technology is chosen, often because a vendor or supplier has pushed their preference.

Even with the right tool, the design of any application is critical, as even the smallest decisions may result in critical choices down the line as technology advances or your business model looks to leverage market verticals.

Gaddo has designed small through to enterprise level applications and central to that process is the client, whose requirements and business model clearly and professionally need to be translated to a valid techinical architecture.

Development

Gaddo has been developing applications since his early teens and at this stage can develop in a frightening array of languages and platforms and so at this stage he has very little difficulty getting up to speed with any new technology.

Whether your need is for database development on Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, Web development with Java, .NET, PHP or C# or mobile development for native Android, iOS, Windows Phone, hybrid or mobile Web development, Gaddo can do them all and more.

Project Management

Whether an in-house team or outsourced internationally, Gaddo has project managed numerous development projects over the years - sometimes employing multiple (spoken) languages - and is qualified PRINCE2 Practitioner.

Adherence to budgets and milestones and efficient interfacing with development and design teams is ultimately the goal in any successful project. Always, of course, keeping you up to date with the state of the development process.

Research, Authoring & Public Speaking

Gaddo has been writing technical articles and books for well over a decade, as well as occasionally speaking at seminars, colleges and conferences.

If you require articles, White papers, case studies or business plans extensively researched and authored to the most professional degree, or need a speaker who can deliver a substantive presentation rather than a glorified advertisement; then Gaddo could well be the person to deliver this for you.
