The NEDC is a group of independent Visual DataFlex (VDF) programmers that have joined in camaraderie to provide increased value and capabilities to their customers. The NEDC is not a conventional consulting firm, or even a legal entity, but “an almost virtual company”.  
 
We think this concept works to make the NEDC an exceptional partner for your business, as we can offer the power of a large corporation without the cost.

·              Experience: Collectively, the NEDC provides over 150 years of VDF (and other language) system development experience. Whether your needs are for an inventory, sales, manufacturing, time & attendance, ERP, or some other kind of system, we most likely have real life experience implementing similar systems.

·                Skills: When working on a project, the person best suited to a particular portion is the one doing the work. NEDC members have worked in many environments: independent, small business, corporate and as a VDF instructor. This gives us real life understanding of how companies work. We all started in character mode (DOS based) DataFlex, so we know the language from the ground up. Most of us are also involved in testing of the newest version, so we know what’s coming.

·                Project Types: We work in many different ways: conversions of character mode DataFlex systems to VDF, conversions of systems written in another language, maintenance of existing VDF systems, and whole new systems. Whether you need a classic Windows system, a Web-based system or a combination of the two, we can do it.

·                Costs: Being a “virtual company” saves our clients money: no rent, tax burden or administrative costs to pass on. This means that we can work for a substantially lower hourly rate while providing excellent service. Of course it also means we can’t invite you to visit our expensive corporate headquarters! Instead, we come to you, which helps us get a better picture of how your company works.

·                FLEXibility: The NEDC normally assigns one developer as project leader. If he goes on vacation or gets sick, another fills in. If you prefer to work with another developer as lead, simply ask and we’ll swap roles. This means that you are in the driver’s seat, not at the mercy of someone you’ve never met deciding that another project is “more important” than yours or that you will have to work with a particular person.
·              Security: If you are used to working with a single developer you may worry about something happening to that person. In the NEDC, if something were to happen, another developer will switch into the role.
