Adaptiva

Adaptiva provides systems management software solutions such as hierarchy simplification, client health assurance, and PC power management. 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. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Adaptiva is based in Bellevue, Washington and founded in 2004. More on adaptiva.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.
