Grow your own expertise from within…

…with On3 consulting services.

On3’s helps organizations grow their own expertise from within by reviewing the application architecture on existing rich Internet applications (RIAs). To achieve optimal results, the On3 consultant gets involved early in the initial set up and creation of the application to provide guidance, expertise, and advice. This approach minimizes the cost of consulting while maximizing effectiveness simultaneously. The On3 consultant evaluates every component of your existing or planned framework to include code, hardware configurations, administrator settings, etc. The consultant also delivers an Architecture Review Analysis that certifies properly designed components, identifies potential problem areas, and offers recommendations for better design.

This On3 service is available for AIR, Flash Media Server, ColdFusion, and Flex implementations. To request pricing for On3 consulting services simply fill out the form on the contact us page.
