Blue Sky Technologies will soon be officially announcing the creation of a new subsidiary called Blue Sky Consulting, but I wanted to comment on it first.  We are consistently tapped to perform programming and project services for companies with strapped IT budgets and schedules.  In the past, our involvement in these projects was mostly unofficial, but with the birth of Blue Sky Consulting we are opening an entire sub-division dedicated to providing our programming and project expertise for any company which needs such services.  Typically a company's needs would be derived from a new application that is required and which the company has been unable to procure through existing channels.  Perhaps modifications to existing applications are driving the need to bring in programming resources.  Blue Sky Consulting (BSC) will evaluate these projects to determine if there is a match between our core competencies and the client's requirements.  BSC specializes in the following areas:

• J2EE web applications, Java Applications
• We specialize in applications in the following business areas:
• Supply Chain
• Logistics
• Warehousing
• Transportation
• Order Procurement
• Yard and Dock Applications
• Projects in the following areas also match our core competencies
• Human Resources
• Marketing and Advertising
• Accounting
• Merchandising
• Operations
• The following technologies match our core competencies
• Java
• Ajax, JavaScript
  
• O/RM, Hibernate, all SQL databases
• Adobe Flex
• Ruby, Groovy

• Legacy languages: Informix 4gl, COBOL, perl

BSC brings to the table the same programming team that created our flagship application Insight, as well as Janus , our Yard and Dock Management application.  We also bring Sun Java Certification and Project Management Institute Certification into the value proposition.
