Why Choose Us?

Our software development skills are nothing short of world class. Over half of our business comes from clients who have had poor experiences with other software developers in the past and want us to redo their project or take over development. That is why our official motto is "Experts you wish you called, the first time".

Prior to coming to Pleasant I was quite concerned about taking DocumentBuddy to another developer and having to start over. I often tell people that it was the best decision I made and can not believe how seamless things went.

Jason Starchuk, Owner, DocumentBuddy
Pleasant Solutions has been excellent to work with. They provided a quality product on an extremely tight deadline, were very accomodating and appeared to do whatever they could to make the project a success.

Sandy Allen, Program Director, Mental Health First Aid Canada
They have an incredible ability to find and fix these obscure problems in code written by other individuals. They have never disappointed in being able to improve the design to eliminate the problem or propose workarounds.

Serious About Success

Constantly Investing

By investing millions in lean processes, infrastructure, and tools to deliver value to clients, we continue to be the leader in custom software development and have left competitors in the dust.
Dedicated Business Analysts

Programmers are fish out of water in understanding business needs, relative to the full-time focus and mastery of dedicated business analysts and PMs who see hundreds of systems and approaches to problems per year. Each BA hour saves the programmer more than an hour. Benefit from the fast understanding and fresh outside perspective of these gurus.

Last question

What industry are you in?

Experts

As proof of our world class skills, we have multiple team members that have won medals at the ACM World Championship Finals versus thousands of other programmers. The focus is on speed and being efficient with time as much as it is about tough challenges, so even easier projects benefit from having the best developers.

Champions

Integration

Integration is by nature a higher risk part of a project, but we routinely have projects with several integrations. We frequently integrate with email, mapping systems, Outlook calendars, Excel, Word, CRMs, Phone/PBX systems, hardware sensors, industry specific software, and even old existing systems being replaced. Not only are we quite skilled at integration projects, but for the most common integrations we can deliver more for less money by using our ready-made building blocks.

Security

Our understanding of security far exceeds that of the typical development company. For example, our Pleasant Password Server manages the most confidential of information (passwords) for numerous governments, airports, hospitals, and IT companies. The level of security delivered is affected by the amount invested into security, but even with zero extra time or cost, our default level of security is still higher because we have established knowledge and good habits.

Platforms

We routinely cover everything from web applications to Windows desktop applications, from touchscreen kiosks and wall dashboards to tablets and smart phones. We have even worked with ancient Windows CE devices from before the days of smart phones, but naturally most of our recent work is on the latest platforms. We have been across the spectrum from cloud based .NET applications to simple Excel add-ons and embedded systems; leaving us with a deep understanding of how software needs to adapt to the platform.

Accounting

We have tremendous experience in the nuances of accounting and the importance of financial accuracy. We frequently integrate with accounting packages (QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Sage, etc), setup new implementations of accounting systems, and even build highly custom and complex accounting software from the ground up. We are better at avoiding those hard to spot calculation errors that are often a result of underestimating the complexity of accounting.

Workflows

It can be difficult for you to assess whether a proposed workflow is incorrect until the project is almost done, so expertise beyond just programming can be very valuable to prevent headaches. We know the classic proven workflows, what workflows work well with how the world has changed in the past five years, what workflows to avoid based on failures we’ve seen in other industries, and we know how to ask the right questions to understand your workflow needs and your overall priorities. In short, we are experts on understanding what you want to build as well as building it well.
