This page lists the Consulting Services that I provide

Actuate 6 Upgrades

I participated in testing of the Actuate 6 Limited Production (beta) release. I can help your organization to upgrade your existing Actuate system to the latest e.Reporting technology as soon as Actuate 6 has been officially released for general availablity.

Actuate Mentoring/System Implementation

My specialty is working with a client's IT and software development staff to get them up to speed on the Actuate reporting products as quickly as possible. The objective is to make sure that the client's staff builds the skills necessary for successfully launching and maintaining applications that use the Actuate e.Reporting Suite for information and active content delivery. 

Actuate Training

I am available to do on-site training. I can build course content that meets your specific needs and that focuses on the topics your developers are most interested in. 

Actuate Report Development

If the client does not have the internal staff or skills required to build Actuate-based information delivery solutions, I am available to build reports to the client's specification. If the client does not yet have clearly defined requirements specifications,  I can also do the business analysis and requirements capture that proceeds report development. I can work on-site at the client's location, or where practical, can work off-site. I normally work on a hourly basis, but I am open to working on fixed cost projects in situations where the requirements can be clearly defined before development begins.

Actuate Class/Function Library Design and Development

Your staff may already have the skills required to build Actuate reports, but may not yet have the experience and depth of knowledge required to build useful and effective class libraries and frameworks. I can build class libraries and frameworks that meet your specifications.

Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept Work

If you are not yet sure about the best way to solve a particular Actuate-related problem, I can help with prototype development and proof-of-concept work to help identify the most effective approach.

Web Interface Customization

I can assist you in customizing the Actuate ReportCast portal to provide additional functionality, or to integrate it into your existing web applications.

Custom Application Development and Integration

Contact me if you need help building applications that utilize Actuate as an application server, or if you need help integrating Actuate into your current applications.

Phone/Email Support

Your staff  may be getting comfortable with Actuate report development and you may not be able to justify the cost of having an Actuate consultant on-site on a full time basis to provide developer support. I can work out an arrangement to provide phone and email based "life line" support on an ongoing basis. Sometimes your developers will get stuck and just need to know how to get over the current hurdle. Having someone more experienced point them in the right direction is often all they need.

Documentation and Articles

I have authored documentation and articles on a number of topics related to the Actuate e.Reporting Suite. Click this link to access my current library of articles.
