My name is Scott Nelson. I specialize in analyzing business needs and designing information systems to create unique solutions and opportunities for adding value to the business.

Typical applications include dynamic, database-driven web sites, product cataloging and management systems, web services integration and more. The emphasis is on specialized solutions appropriate for unique business needs.

• Identify opportunities where information systems can add value to the business.
• Design and build complete information systems including databases and user interfaces.
• Review and modify existing systems to fix problems, increase performance and add new capabilities.
• Provide on-going support.
• Provide staff-augmentation as an on-site or remote analyst/developer.

I work with clients to define goals and requirements of the application then determine the best design and process for development considering the unique needs of the organization.

Systems are typically designed and created using various combinations of technologies such as HTML/XML, JavaScript, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, ColdFusion and PHP. Systems can be developed in a Windows or Linux environment using proprietary or open-source tools.

After deployment, ongoing support of the system can be provided.

While having strong technical skills is important, I also appreciate wider industry concepts such as IT management principles, systems theory, marketing & promotion, entrepreneurship and more. Some of my views and opinions on these and other topics can be found in the 'Articles' section of this site.
