Bluejean Software was incorporated in 2005 as a local, minority-owned spin-off of PC Depot. Where PC Depot’s focus is on hardware support, Bluejean’s is on systems development. And while Bluejean’s history is short, PC Depot has a long history of quality support and relationships with not-for-profits like the Early Learning Coalition, Health Foundation of South Florida, Healthy Start Coalition, United Way, Children’s Trust, and Knight Foundation.

Despite being in existence for less than a year, Bluejean has been very successful as a startup, doing program analysis and systems development work for the ELC, for the Knight Foundation, and for the Health Foundation.

Bluejean’s philosophy has always been to accentuate return to the customer by keeping costs low and standards high, and by applying modern toolsets.

Bluejean’s approach emphasizes flexibility, both in development and in relationships. We understand that today’s environment is dynamic and rapidly changing: customer requirements can’t always be detailed and kept firm from concept through completion. The traditional focus on complete specs before engagement often doesn’t work.

Bluejean responds to changing needs quickly and expertly. System development is generally handled using rapid programming development / extreme programming techniques emphasizing quick delivery of prototypes and quick incorporation of ideas and functional changes or enhancements (Attachment C). This approach results in a product best suited for the customer, while focusing Bluejean’s time on programming and development rather than on unnecessary structured overhead.

We use only the latest technical toolsets, including Microsoft’s .NET environment, SQLServer, XML/SOAP data and interfaces, and Microsoft’s Reporting and Analysis Services. These technologies allow for rapid development, simplified installations, and easy modification.

Ultimately, the approach and toolsets used by Bluejean allow us to produce complete applications exactly tailored to customers’ needs, more quickly and flexibly than traditional developers.
