1 Day

We work for 1 day to propose a solution for you

You may have a great idea but you are struggling to demonstrate the value to others, or you are just not sure that your idea will work in practice, or maybe you have a straightforward problem that we can solve, in principle, in just one day. Then the 1 day project is for you!

The 1 day project is a great way to see how we operate, understand what we are capable of doing and experience the huge benefits of the technologies that we use. At the end of just one day you will have a prototype solution as well as first hand-experience of working with Abletech.

How a 1 Day Project works:

  • Plotting locations on a Google Map
  • Using the Twitter API
  • Receiving credit-card payments
  • Connecting to a 3rd-party system
  • Trialling virtualisation
  • Proving a connection to LDAP or ActiveDirectory
  • Employee Directory (previously was an Excel spreadsheet)
  • Customer newsletter using Google Spreadsheet based mail merge
  • Log file analyser
  • Online address book

Examples of concepts we’ve proved in one day:

We meet with you first thing in the morning, and discuss the plan for the day.
We then get started on the initial build.
Due to the extremely agile nature of these projects, we will need to be based onsite with your staff.
As the day proceeds, we will be continuously getting your feedback on the content and scope of the project. This will often include demoing, and trialling different approaches.
Towards the end of the day, we will deploy your prototype application to a staging server, where we will host it temporarily.

These projects are charged on a simple time and materials basis. For projects where you are testing a risky concept, you may decide to stop the project early. No problem. This is up to you - no strings attached. We will email you the source code, and any other files generated during the day's activities. You could then choose to:

  • Deploy it: The application may be just what you're looking for in meeting your needs. You can deploy it to your own servers, or it could be hosted at our data centre. We can also suggest other options.
  • Enhance it: You could spend another day or so polishing the application. Perhaps it needs a little more functionality, or perhaps some attention from a designer. We would be happy to help with this, or you could use some of your own capabilities.
  • Commission it: Your risky concept may have been proved a success, and you want to use the day's efforts to commence a new project. Discard it: Perhaps your risky concept turned out to be a problem. Congratulations - it only cost you one day to discover this. You can take the learning's from today, and feed them back into your concept. Then test your new approach with potentially another 1 Day Project.
