Ashcraft
& Associates, LLC. is dedicated to delivering cost-effective innovative
solutions requiring the practical application of technology to business needs. The company operates as a Center of Excellence, utilizing highly
qualified personnel distinguished by the breath and depth of their technical
and business knowledge.
The
two principal owners of the company have over 60 years of experience delivering
state-of-the-art custom software solutions that are both on time and on target
for their Fortune 50 clients in diverse industries that range from aerospace,
and banking, to pharmaceuticals, and telephony. All clients requiring solutions that are accurate as well as timely and
cost efficient. One principal authored seminal
papers on software quality metrics and their practical application while at
Bell Labs in the , early 80’s. The
other participated as a lead architect and developer while at Bell Labs of the
first commercial system to utilize C++ and the principles of object oriented
architecture and design. The enduring nature of both of their contributions can
be seen in the acceptance of software quality as a given and in the fact that
the C++ project which utilized those early metrics is still running today, over
25 years later, and services 20 times the capacity that was originally
specified.
In
addition to their own passionate needs to achieve excellent results, they are
able to inspire the efforts of others and create a work environment where all
personnel involved in a project are enabled and encouraged to be the best that
they can be and take pride in turning out precision crafted and well-tested
products.
We
like to view ourselves as “master builders” of software, marrying the knowledge
of leading edge technologies with time-honored principles of craftsmanship to
create durable products. We build
software built to last.
