Located in
Toronto Canada, the fifth largest city in North America, Symposium
Technologies is well
situated to service clients continent-wide.
The Symposium Advantage
Symposium’s approach differs markedly from that of other software
developers. This results not only in a vastly superior product, but
also a vastly superior business relationship. We deliver both the
technical solutions necessary for your operational requirements, as
well as a working relationship that accommodates your operational
realities and makes your project as stress-free as possible. The
benefits to you are considerable - enormous savings, both in time
and money, and a much higher degree of efficiency, much sooner.
Among the
reasons to consider Symposium are the following:
Quick Development Cycle
Emphasis on Turn-Key Systems
Efficient Implementation and Integration
Responsive Technical Support and Training
Comprehensive Knowledge and Consulting
Business-Oriented
Flexible Contracts and Pricing
Quick Development Cycle
In software, development cycles
can seem endless. Solutions are often "two weeks away and 80 percent
complete" for months if not years. Symposium’s approach stands in
stark relief to this. The software engineering team at Symposium has
perfected a design methodology that allows them to produce powerful,
stable, solid and practical software-based solutions in a time frame
far superior to that achievable by any other competing vendors. By
staying tightly focused on our core competencies and emphasizing
business excellence, we can deliver solutions to meet your unique
needs and requirements on time and on budget, every time.

Emphasis on Turn-Key Systems
More often than not, providing complex software solutions to large
organizations and companies involves a great deal of customization
work, even when the application in question is ostensibly
characterized as turnkey.
Here at Symposium, we have put a great deal of effort into building
an unprecedented degree of flexibility into our systems. This
results in powerful, versatile applications that can be quickly
adapted to address the complex dispatch, vehicle monitoring, and
event management needs of your organization, regardless of their
scope. The end result is that you save time and money, and avoid the
difficulties associated with changing your ways of doing things.

Efficient Implementation and integration
Implementation is the bridge between the promise of a theoretical
fix, and a practical, working real-world solution. Therefore, the
ability to effectively deploy any given system is key to the success
of the project. Symposium has extensive practical experience
implementing our systems in a host of different environments, and
will work closely with you to develop and carry through on an
implementation plan which is quick, organized, straightforward, and
cost-effective.
Symposium develops all its systems on the basis of an open, modern
architecture that will work with the full range of ODBC databases,
traditional and wireless networks, and GIS mapping systems. We also
have a great deal of experience in building interfaces for
third-party hardware systems such as GPS receivers, remote sensing
and monitoring equipment, and a host of others. Using our
applications as a basis, we can work with you to develop a fully
integrated software and hardware-based technology solution.

Responsive Technical Support and Training
The best software in the world will do little good if your staff
can’t operate it, or your IT/IS people can’t maintain it. To that
end, Symposium offers structured training and support services
designed to ensure you get the most out of our systems, both now and
in the future. Our support and training models concentrate on
capability transfer – transferring the skills and tools to your
organization in order to provide you with the ability to manage the
systems internally to the appropriate degree. We in turn make
ourselves available to act as the back up to your technical support
personnel, and if required to guarantee your system’s mission
critical integrity.

Comprehensive Knowledge and Consulting
Symposium Technologies has extensive practical experience in a whole
host of areas related to system design, development, deployment, and
integration. We can help you make decisions on technology needs
analysis, sourcing, implementation, and follow-through. We keep
fully abreast of developments in many fields of technology, and our
advice is always impartial, unbiased, and is grounded in practical
business considerations. We always follow the rule of knowing our
clients needs and priorities, and in turn tailor our recommendations
to reflect this basic yet oft-overlooked requirement.

Business-Oriented
At Symposium everything that we do is rooted in our understanding
and appreciation of the fact that the solutions we provide must be
real world solutions. It is this which in turn drives our
development, and allows us to build software that reflects and
accommodates these realities, enhances your capabilities, captures
potential efficiencies, and improves capability..

Flexible Contracts and Pricing
No matter what your operational reality, we can work with you to
develop license, support, and payment schedules that take into
account your needs and constraints. We are true believers in
"win-win" business arrangements, and make use of any number of
creative and flexible structures which can allow you to take full
advantage of the capabilities of our systems, while staying within
budget.
