In four years of successful business we have had the opportunity to catalogue Russian photography, develop an interface for searching New York City real estate transfers, build an administrative interface for categorizing hip-hop and breakbeat vinyl by "crew name", and allow NFL marketing mangers to keep fan club members entertained with ongoing trivia quizzes.

In addition to application development projects, clue inc maintains several ongoing research and development projects in information design and retrieval technology, and provides technology services to a number of local artists, musicians and community groups.

Philosophy
Each of us has a deep and abiding love of technology. We do what we do and we're good at what we do because we enjoy solving the difficult problems, finding creative solutions, putting that last piece into the puzzle.

We pride ourselves on being capable of combining hardcore programming skills with the rare ability to organize complex data into a clean, elegant presentation. Usability and the development of an intuitive interface are of paramount importance when designing an application, whether its destined to promote your brand image to a wider audience or whether the only people who will ever see it are your own clients and employees.

We are devoted to ongoing research and development--keeping abreast of the latest technology innovations and choosing to incorporate, integrate and improve emerging techniques and concepts with an eye to selecting only those that are stable, scalable and sustainable.

Our process
We believe that every project should start with a thorough understanding of the client's business goals and that clearly defined expectations make for a rewarding development experience. We always advocate taking a phased approach, with each phase clearly outlining what prerequisites must be met for the phase to begin, what steps must be taken by the client, the development process that will take place during that phase of development and the goals that must be met to consider that phase complete.

We assign a project manager to each of our development projects. A dedicated project manager ensures that communication between the client and the development team is organized, questions and concerns are addressed efficiently and that there is a single point of contact for your project.

We feel that putting a maintenance plan for an application in place right at the outset is critically important. That way, you, the client, can rest assured that the server will be properly maintained and updated, security will be monitored on an ongoing basis, somebody will be there to answer questions, and minor changes can be made quickly and easily.
