Alpha’s new Professional Services group has you covered

Alpha’s new Professional Services group has you covered
In typical Alpha fashion, we’ve once again put the cart before the horse. I told you about Jeff Kalwerisky’s spot in InformationWeek before I even introduced you to him as the newest member of the Alpha team. Well, now I’m telling you about a new service we’re offering before we have “officially” announced we’re offering it.

We’ve been building a Professional Services group over the last several months. While we haven’t formally announced it yet, the group has been actively engaging clients since the second quarter, and has already completed a number of complex and interesting enterprise database projects. Several other major builds are in the queue, and the pipeline continues to grow. We’ve staffed up as a result.

Now that we’ve put all of our Professional Services systems in place, we’re preparing to formally roll it out with a press release and some fanfare in the coming weeks. Meanwhile there’s nothing secret about it. We’ve been telling customers about how our new Professional Services group can help them in our newsletter. We thought we’d let you know about Alpha PS here on the blog.

Here’s the take-away: We understand not all of our customers and prospects are professional Web developers. But many need a professional Web database. If that describes you, we’ve got you covered with Alpha Professional Services. We work in conjunction with our certified development partners to help customers get projects of any scope or size up and running. We’ll build your project with the speed, efficiency, and effectiveness that can only be achieved with Alpha Five Platinum.

Sound good? Check out our site for more information. And if you’re a VAR who is interested in working with our Professional Services group, give me a ping.

- Linkage of science and society in economy, law or media;
- disciplinary structure and institutional diversification;
- scientific practice (theory, model, simulation, experiment); and
- relationships between science and social values

Successful applicants are expected to make their homes in Bielefeld for the duration of their grants.

Interested applicants from the history, theory and sociology of science or other related disciplines are asked to submit their applications asap, but not later than 07. September 2008.

Applications should be addressed in electronic form (as .pdf-files) to Professor Weingart, email: gk@iwt.uni-bielefel d
