I would enjoy spending a few minutes (or even some hours) with you, at no charge, to explore the possibilities. No commitments would be made unless we agree that we could cooperate to our mutual benefit. 

Projects of any reasonable duration, from a couple of hours to a number of months, can be undertaken. 

You can improve the success rate of new systems development projects by using my services on a contracting basis. I can fit into whatever role would be useful to you. For instance I can contribute data or object architecture skills to the project (quality assuring the models, advising on their fit to the business, their flexibility, etc).

If you need help to quickly specify requirements for a new system, I can lead your business analysts in compiling the necessary use cases, or work directly with your end users to achieve this.

If you are moving to object orientation, I can assist you in object-oriented analysis and design and in the process, use all the relevant patterns that represent best practice.
