The main technolgies are .NET and Java but other technologies also can be used if needed to provide compatibility with existing solutions.

Our company consists of several really smart and talented programmers, who are able to solve a buch of problems with minimal costs. (Because you can be either big or excellent - we choose the later.)

The minimal contract we are interested in, either as a single deal or as a value of a long-term cooperation, is 20k PLN or 8k USD or 6k EUR.

History

NET SYSTEM was founded by Mirosław Kordos in 1999. Originaly our company provided installation, service and support of computer networks. In the following years we were gradually changing the profile to software development in .NET and Java technology. Moreover, "NET" can also stand for the applications being frequently with www interface, various networks of dependencies the software make use of and even the neural networks, which we also sometimes happen to embed in our solutions. So although the company profile changed since 1999, the name remained adequate.

Czy znacie skądś tego typu hasła: "Nasza firma skupia najlepszych specjalistów ze wszelkich możliwych branż o ogromnym doświaczeniu biznesowym potwierdzonym czym się tylko da. Misją naszej firmy jest dostarczanie najwyższej jakości rozwiązań celem zapewnienia pełnej satysfakcji klienta"? Jeśli jakaś firma uprawia taki bezosobowy korporacyjny bełkot, a sprawdzenie poprawności składni HTML ich strony www wywala dziesiątki błędów, to się zastanówcie, komu lepiej zlecić stworzenie oprogramowania: korporacyjnemu bełkotowi, który nawet własnej strony nie umie poprawnie zrobić, czy normalnemu, mądremu człowiekowi Mirkowi Kordosowi i jego kolegom?


Here's what Joel Spolsky writes about why the services of big software companies are very costly and of very poor quality:

Mike was unhappy. He had hired a huge company of IT consultants to build The System. The IT consultants he hired were incompetents who kept talking about "The Methodology" and who spent millions of dollars and had failed to produce a single thing.

Luckily, Mike found a youthful programmer who was really smart and talented. The youthful programmer built his whole system in one day for $20 and pizza. Mike was overjoyed. He recommended the youthful programmer to all his friends.

Youthful Programmer starts raking in the money. Soon, he has more work than he can handle, so he hires a bunch of people to help him. The good people want too many stock options, so he decides to hire even younger programmers right out of college and "train them" with a 6 week course.

The trouble is that the "training" doesn't really produce consistent results, so Youthful Programmer starts creating rules and procedures that are meant to make more consistent results. Over the years, the rule book grows and grows. Soon it's a six-volume manual called The Methodology.

After a few dozen years, Youthful Programmer is now a Huge Incompetent IT Consultant with a capital-M-methodology and a lot of people who blindly obey the Methodology, even when it doesn't seem to be working, because they have no bloody idea whatsoever what else to do, and they're not really talented programmers -- they're just well-meaning Poli Sci majors who attended the six-week course.

And Newly Huge Incompetent IT Consultant starts messing up. Their customers are unhappy. And another upstart talented programmer comes and takes away all their business, and the cycle begins anew.
