With the automation that custom software provides, work that would have taken hours to do may only take a few minutes.

Your software can continuously evolve to meet your changing business needs.

Requesting changes to commercial off-the-shelf products may not be possible and if they are, it could take a full year to implement.

Not only does this save you time and money it also improves accountability and makes training new staff easier.

Custom software can dramatically reduce overhead because what used to take five full time employees may only take one.

With many commercial off-the-shelf products you have to pay an ongoing licensing or subscription fee. Instead of letting the software company choose how to upgrade your system, you are able to spend your money on software improvements that benefit your business.

You are able to collect exactly the data points you need to answer questions about your business.

You have complete control over who has access to what and when.

We found the list of benefits above on a website of a custom software solutions company out of Sacramento, CA. We thought it was a great summary of what we usually explain to all of our clients. We changed it slightly to better match our services and goals. Source: Inspironix

What does Loyer TCG mean? Back in January 1999, two brothers started the company. Their last name was "Loyer". TCG stands for Technology Consulting Group. (It used to stand for Technical Consulting Group but we felt that the word technology was more focused than technical). Even Technology Consulting Group is a little vague, why not be more focused? We primarily focus in internet related programming, hosting and managed services, and database and data warehousing technologies. Occasionally, we do venture out of these specialties. We did not want to brand our company too specifically as technology is constantly changing and over the years the company may move in or out of certain areas. We have toyed with abstract names that don't really mean anything but just sound cool like the well known company "razorfish". Either we weren't creative enough to find one we liked, the domain name was already taken, or the name just seemed a little ridiculous. Ultimately, the founders decided that their name added a level of integrity and trust. Their names were on the line. After all, who wants to trash their own name?

What about the logo? Is that supposed to be the big dipper or something?

The dots represent change. From a square to a circle. The concept of following a path and adapting along the way. We feel this is vital to every system built today. Technology changes too quickly to be stuck in one shape or technical architecture. Every system built at Loyer TCG is designed with the concept that it will grow and change along the way. We try and build foundations (frameworks) that will enable our client to build on top of the investment they are making today so that tomorrow they can reuse it.
