Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Cloud computing is destined to energize and enable millions of companies to take their businesses to  higher levels of success on the internet.  Cloud computing in a nut shell consists of data centers around the world, or on site, that provide servers to host your web application or service.

What’s The Difference           

What’s the difference compared to traditional web hosting companies?  The answer is cost and services. The real value is achieved because it is a pay as you go model. A business pays for usage like paying for electric or water.  All other expenses are outsourced or shifted to the cloud provider.           

 The Benefits            

  •  Bring your ideas to market faster and pay as you go
  • Reduce costs of building and extending on-premises resources
  • Reduce the effort and costs of IT management
  • Respond quickly to changes in your business and customer needs
  • Choose an on-premises or off-premises deployment model that best suits your needs.
  • Scale your IT resources up and down based on your needs.
  • Consume computing resources ONLY when the needs arise.
  • Focus less energy on managing operational resources and constraints.
  • Remove the need to manage hardware
  • Consistent development and management experience across on-premises and the cloud.

 I believe that on-line businesses will flourish over the next decade because of this new business model. Doing business in the cloud or on the internet with cloud providers like Windows Azure, or Amazon S3 is the new model for business today and in the future. Providers like these are even now changing the way companies are doing business. This new hosting model has the potential to save companies millions of dollars. 

 

The Power of the Cloud-Based Web Applications     

  • More Than Just A Web Site - Websites and web applications  for businesses can be much more than just static html, images, and text today.
  • Real Value To Customers -  Web Applications can help to provide tools and services that give customers reasons to  keep coming back for more. 
  • Intuitive & Easy To Use -  Well designed web applications can be dynamic and yet easy to use.
  • Reach The World Without Leaving Home - Web applications can harness and leverage data  world-wide to make even a small company a global competitor.
  • Your Own Window To The World -  E-commerce and data driven business portals are great business tools for your company or non-profit.  They can be your very own portal to the world. 
  • Fast Product Delivery – The right web application can provide the ability for your customers to buy, sell, interact and purchase your products and services online in real-time even when your business is closed.

  All these benefits translate to more clients, more sales, and greater profits for you and your company!   Today more than ever  having a sharp-looking websites and web applications  that have powerful features built-in is vital for your business success in 2010!            

 Choose me to be your Hi-Tech business partner so I can help you take your company to the next level and harness the power of cloud computing today!    

  Jonathan Conley       

Hi, my name is Jonathan Conley. I am an IT Professional who lives and works in Huntington, WV.  I have worked as a software engineer since 1993.           

My Goal            

 I want to make quality software development affordable for  the little guy. For the person who has a dream, the small businesses who want to grow their business on the internet, or for startup businesses that are strapped for cash. In this tight economy I know many companies must watch their budgets very carefully.  And many cash strapped startups are looking for outsourcing resources that can save them money, time and help them make their dreams a reality.  I try to work with companies to find strategies to help them stretch their budgets and create the best possible software solutions for their business.           

 However my goal is to be more than an outsource vendor or just a contractor.  I want to create products and solutions to help people and businesses make money and be their technology partner. I believe “if you give, it will be given back to you” and “the more you help others to succeed, the more they will help you”!         

Over the years I have developed software and created small and large applications for the following companies:  Click on the links below to view my portfolios. (More Portfolios Coming Soon)

Benefits of Choosing Me        

Here are just some of the benefits of making me your technology partner.           

  • Great Results
  • Exceeds Expectations
  • High Integrity
  • Continuous Programing Innovation and Excellence
  • Dedication & Great Work 
  • High Initiative and a Self Starter
  • High Technical Skills. 
  • Thorough Testing  & Test-driven development (TDD)
  • Not a Yes Man.  If it doesn’t make a lot of sense, or there is a much better way to accomplish the programming task I will let you know.
  • Less Time Needed For Project Management. A good rule of thumb is that you’ll likely spend about 1 hour of your time managing, communicating and testing the code for every 3-4 hours that a developer works on it. For a one-day (8 hour) programming project, this might mean you spend 2-3 hours testing and managing it.
  •  Get Real Cost Savings. Less of your time required. Otherwise on a project it might be that you’re paying $15 per hour for programming to a developer. However, if it takes them 4 hours to accomplish something (and includes 1-2 hours of your time to describe what you want, type it out into an email, answer a few questions, test it, send back comments, etc), you’ve just spent 6 hours of time. If you are paid $50,000, then your rough hourly rate is $25 per hour. So you’ve now paid: (4 hours x $15 per hour = $60 + 2 of your hours @ $25 per hour = $50, for a total of $110 for the short project, and 50% of the cost of it is your time. If you make more than $50k per year, then the equation can change quickly. When you add up everything, you need to make sure that the math works out in your favor.
