Concept Design – Use ConsulTech’s experience to help you determine the scope and capabilities of your product. A well-defined concept is the foundation of any project. With ConsulTech’s help, you will develop an image processing concept with a well-defined scope that will keep your project *on time. Feasibility Analysis* – Use ConsulTech’s expertise and facilities to determine if your project requirements can be met before you make investments in development. ConsulTech uses its image processing laboratory to perform these feasibility studies. You make no hardware or infrastructure investments prior to verifying the feasibility of your project. Software and hardware designs developed during the feasibility analysis are often directly transferable to the final system, thus reducing acquisition and development costs to keep your project *on budget. Specifications Determination* – Use ConsulTech’s experience to translate your concept requirements into a set of functional and engineering specifications. Functional specifications will define the interactions and sequences of interactions between your proposed system and its environment. Engineering specifications will define your proposed system’s components with the appropriate level of detail to enable development *on target. Algorithm Research and Development* – Use ConsulTech’s image processing and software engineering expertise to research and develop new algorithms to meet your complex imaging requirements. ConsulTech’s custom-developed algorithms will maximize the processing accuracy of your product by incorporating adaptive and self-checking methods.

Service Models
Turnkey Outsourcing – ConsulTech works interactively with you to develop a complete set of requirements and a robust system design. After you approve the specifications and the design, ConsulTech develops and tests your application off-site. You incur no overhead and no on-site disruptions. All development and testing is performed in North America, eliminating the communication and time zone problems typical of off-shore outsourcing. Turnkey On-Site Development – This model is equivalent to the Turnkey Outsourcing model except that most development and testing are performed at your site. This model gives you additional control over the environment in which your application is to operate. It also allows you to modify the specifications and design rapidly during the application development and testing processes. Integrated Development – ConsulTech’s engineering staff works at your site side-by-side with your staff of engineering professionals. This model gives your staff a head start with your application’s technology transfer process.
