Gap Development

At PensionSmart, every one of our resources is fluent in the entire PeopleTools development suite, including SQR, App Engine and COBOL.  But further, every resource has a functional background in actuarial mathematics and pension administration.  That means that when we design a workaround, we can code it!  We follow strict development standards that we have cultivated through years of resolving specific functionality deficiencies.

What makes our solutions better?

• More efficient processing.
• Easier to upgrade.
• Easier to maintain.
• Smaller object footprint.

We frequently work around product functionality gaps through creative uses of the delivered system.  We have been able to eliminate other vendors’ modifications with more effective utilization of delivered functionality.  That translates to cost savings for the customer.

What is our secret?  Our approach to creating the best gap resolutions is a comprehensive knowledge and skill set within a single resource.  When many different resources write requirements, write specifications, develop solutions and even test, there is opportunity for disconnect at each transfer.  When a single resource understands your plan requirements, your administrative needs, and how your system works, you get continuity through your development cycle that creates more effective and efficient solutions.

Of course, no single resource can resolve your functionality gaps; but including our expertise and experience ours in your team makes a remarkable difference.  Our comprehensive approach to gap development is only enabled through our resources.  We provide the combination of functional AND technical expertise in every resource and that clearly distinguishes us from everyone else.
