He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.

At Greystone, we tackle every project using a structured process of sophisticated, time proven, results-oriented development and management methodologies. That enables us to get your work done on-time, on-spec and on-budget.

In order to write practical software, to provide truly total solutions, we have to first determine what software to write. That means we have to know and understand our clients’ businesses every bit as well as they do.

Half of science is asking the right questions.

- Roger Bacon

Greystone manages our client relationships with simple goals in mind: to facilitate high-level business understanding, proper technological application, and on-going personal involvement and support.  As a Greystone client you have a knowledgeable Greystone Consultant who functions as your main contact person. Your Greystone Consultant learns your business and your projects, knows what questions to ask to get to the heart of your problem, and then interfaces with the rest of your Greystone team of experts to accomplish exactly what you need done.

You always deal with a single, knowledgeable contact. That’s the way your other professional advisors operate--your law firm, your advertising agency, your accounting firm, and your business consultant. We’ve proven that it’s a dramatically effective management tool in the software development arena, too.

All stable processes we shall predict. All unstable processes we shall control.

- John von Neumann

Our approach to development methodology balances the benefits of a repeatable process with the recognition that no two situations are the same.

Where circumstances indicate, we use Scrum and other agile techniques.  Occasionally, a sequential software development cycle (Waterfall) is more appropriate, particularly when agile principles can be applied within each phase.  When working on joint teams with our clients, of course we follow their methodology.

We believe that whichever methodology is employed, the critical success factors are consistent and thoughtful application of the methodology combined with care in execution.
