Our services

Full Application Development Services

RIPE offers a full range of application development services from requirements analysis to full design specification, architecture and implementation. We specialize in web application development but also provide desktop, client-server and mobile application development.

Business Process Improvement Projects

RIPE software solutions are often the result of Business Process Improvement initiatives. We collaborate with project champions and stakeholders as an integral part of the team throughout project lifecycles, including planning and presentations.

Our experience with the continuous improvement process, as well as specific implementations such as Six Sigma, TQM and Kaizen enable us to contribute valuable insight and expertise to project teams.

Our solutions align to business goals and provide mechanisms for the collection of critical data, enabling benchmarking, measurement and reporting.

Product Development

RIPE has developed several applications including E-mail, Content Management and Time Management systems which have been sold or licensed to end users by our clients, creating new and valuable sources of revenue. We can take your idea for software and produce it. With our analytical, programming and design services, RIPE has the experience and track record to take a product from inspiration to market.

Software Maintenance Relationships

A common problem facing companies that have released a key application or system, is balancing the ongoing maintenance and release requirements with the costs of maintaining an in-house development team. Downsizing or erosion of in-house teams leads to loss of expertise and creates a high risk of losing critical knowledge through the attrition of key personnel over time.

RIPE can help to augment your development resources and in-house expertise by providing a flexible, readily available source of development talent and key expertise, on an as-needed, ongoing and long-term basis.

Channel Development Technologies

The development of sales channels is a key factor in many of our clients' growth strategies. RIPE creates, supports and integrates solutions for retail, reseller and affiliate programs. We also include management tools to facilitate relationship management, financial management and quality assurance for partner channels.

RIPE employs a variety of models that include Web services, APIs, EDI and custom integration. RIPE helps companies create a channel-friendly architecture for new systems. In many cases, RIPE can create new growth opportunities for your business by extending existing systems without having to redesign them.

Business Intelligence

Who is your next best prospect? What product mix are they most likely to purchase? Who are you losing customers to - and who are you gaining them from? Which customer is most likely to leave next and what mechanisms can you employ to prevent them from leaving?

RIPE can enable your business to better control and analyze its data, uncovering trends and providing vital information for tactical and strategic decisions. RIPE has tools for examining customer attrition, churn analysis, cross-sell opportunities, account maximization and analysis of historical sales for predictive sales models.

Lasting Technology Partnerships

As a technology partner, RIPE offers many additional benefits to customers, including access to readily available expertise and advice across a wide range of technology and design related subjects.

Our goal is to see our clients' businesses thrive and to have them continue to invest in systems that support that growth. To help them toward that end, we often become a part of our client's project teams, strategic planning groups and working parties and actively participate in their external presentations and proposals, representing the technical portions of discussions and plans. Particularly for companies whose business is not software development, a partnership with RIPE can be a powerful and tangible advantage.
