Zope accomplishes these goals by delivering a well-rounded suite of professional services. These services include:

Business Analysis and Design

Zope clients demand high-performance, cost-effective business applications.  Zope consultants understand how to solve complex content management challenges and design systems that can be rapidly implemented and easily maintained.  Working collaboratively with clients, Zope consultants help businesses design effective processes and work flows to improve productivity.  Leveraging in-depth knowledge of Zope, the Corporation's consultants translate business requirements into a technical design for easy implementation.

Zope consultants design solutions that solve business problems within the customers' budgets.  Our flexible product architecture and content management experience enables us to rapidly develop cost-effective solutions.  Business requirements can be phased to implement high-impact functionality quickly while providing a low-cost foundation for future development.

Project Management

The hallmark of a Zope consulting engagement is delivering business solutions on time and within budget.  Zope consultants utilize industry standard project management methodologies and have deep experience managing complex project structures.  Specifically, Zope subscribes to the principles espoused by the Project Management Institute (PMI) for project management and the Rational Unified Process (RUP) for software design and development.  Each are outstanding methodologies. Every project receives senior management attention to ensure the production of quality deliverables. A Client Executive is assigned to oversee every project and ensure the on-going communication between the customer and the Zope team throughout all phases of the project.

Custom Application Development

Zope's competitors in the content management space often force companies to modify business processes to work the way the way their software works.  At Zope Corporation, we believe that technical processes should mirror the way your processes work.  Zope is architected as a framework to be flexible and to enable rapid application development.  The Zope Corporation approach and methodology enable a business to implement custom solutions faster than most businesses can implement more expensive package solutions.

Integration

Content management is not an island within organizations.  To be effective, content management needs to be fully integrated into the business and technical environment.  Zope helps clients create large scale, high-performance business application that integrates with existing web and legacy systems.  Zope has a strong reputation as the premier rapid application development, open source application server. This heritage has produced an architecture that makes integrating existing systems faster and more efficient with Zope.
