Consulting

We want to help. Really! Helping you and your company solve problems is what we are in business to do. Outlined below are just some of the ways in which Planet Argon can assist your team in reaching its goals.

Training

Beginning in 2006, Planet Argon will offer on-site training for Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL. Arrange for our Rails development team to visit your office to present a customized presentation or workshop. For your small team of developers, or to your entire technology department; a short intoduction to the Rails framework , or a multi-day workshop on porting your PostgreSQL backed application to Rails. Contact us us today to discuss a Planet Argon training solution that meets the needs of your company.

Legacy Systems

Technology moves fast, and it can be hard to keep up. Like many companies, your website may be out of date and you are thinking it is time to move ahead. Perhaps you have been enticed by the Web 2.0 revolution. Whatever your reason, working with legacy systems can be a daunting task. You may be asking yourself, “Where do I begin?” Contact us today to discuss your system and arrange a professional code review.

Unix Professionals

Need assistance with your Unix, Linux, and BSD servers? Let Planet Argon optimize, upgrade and configure your system. We also offer remote management services. Essentially, we become your (remote) IT Department. Contact us to find out more!

PostgreSQL

Considering a migration from MS SQL, MySQL, or Oracle to the world’s most advanced open source database server? We have extensive experience with migrations, installations, optimizations, and restorations. If you would like to find out how your business can move to PostgreSQL (and why), contact us to discuss how PLANET ARGON can help facilitate the process.

We Could Go On…

Every business is unique, and our services reflect that. We don’t offer cookie-cutter consulting plans, because well, something important always gets cut off and ignored. Don’t see something mentioned on this page? We may be able to help, why not contact us to find out?
