Do More With Less

Todd Sundsted — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:41:56 +0000

Put your vision into motion in weeks instead of months. Focus on the features that set you apart, define your unique value proposition, or set you up to seek investment.

Do More With Less gets you up and running faster. It’s not magic; it’s experience and expertise coupled with the right tools.

We work with you to identify the 20% of your application’s DNA that both differentiates it from other applications and is the key to your success. By focusing on this first, you take risk out of the plan and better position yourself to launch the application, close the sale, or pull in funding.

Once it’s built, we help you deploy it into the cloud. Put responsibility for server updates, upgrades, and managing IT infrastructure in the hands of companies for which it’s a core competency, free yourself, and focus on your application and your advantage.

MapAmerica and ILiveHere are two initiatives of Youthline America, a nonprofit focused on making information about local youth-related resources available to youth nationwide. They embody what we’re about, tools that enable people to leverage distributed infrastructure but think and act locally. Together they will operate on top of the largest database of youth-related resources and information in the world; information gathered and curated by youth themselves through local mapping projects.

Shift101 is a management consultancy that specializes in work, with a focus on organizations that are moving toward telecommunting, hoteling, coworking, and other forms of outworking. Spear is a prototype of a tool for modern digital nomads. It uses the Twitter metapher of a status message, coupled with natural language processing and a dynamic user/location/project schema, to give distributed team members a single point tool to let other team members know where they are working and what they are working on in real time. The entire application eventually integrates into back office time and workforce management tools.
