Alvao

ALVAO has concentrated on optimizing methodologies and on the development of software tools to support service processes. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Asset Management and Information and Communications Technology (ICT). As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Alvao is based in Arlington, Virginia. Their site is alvao.com.

Before you commit, look at portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
