1. Why does Source (N) require Project Managers on every project?

We have learned that in order to deliver on time someone has to be responsible for the timeline. A well trained PM is worth their weight in gold. Nothing builds confidence like delivering an application as designed and on-time. We will not skimp on adding resources to any project especially when it comes to managing the project.

2. How do you find and train your developers?

It all starts at the top with our Managing Partners. Both of our co-founders are incredibly deep with degrees in Molecular Biology and EECS. As such, at our core we believe in hiring only brilliant team members. As with any great company if the core is solid and talented it attracts other talented folks. Having top talent early on helps simplify the recruitment process. In addition, our developers are paired up and have to bid to get awarded work which makes for a very intellectually competitive environment.

4. Why should I hire Source(N)?

Our team was there for Web 1.0, we are in the middle of Web 2.0 and have worked on what are considered some of the basis for Web 3.0 (Semantic Web). Our technical depth across both Enterprise and Web Applications affords us a unique perspective for a firm with only 100+ employees. In order to find the bench strength we have built at Source(N) you would have to hire one of the Big 5 Consulting shops to replicate our unique staff.

We can be up and running within a week on most projects. As fast as you can get us the scope we can bid it. We pride ourselves on being quick on the uptake.

We have found that high participation rates are possible, and have developed and refined a six-point methodology to address the essential components that turn social visitors into community contributors:

If you include these key elements your community will have a greater chance of success:

• the ability to become self-involved online, and to relate through social media to others (mediated presence)
• expectations of future interaction (commitment)
• a sense of self and a (self) perception of how they look to others (validation)
• an intention to sharing their professional and/or personal interests (social motivation)
• relationships they maintain online (social networks)
• trust and confidence in the system (competence)

In implementing these tenants, we offer a-la-carte services as well as full project engagements. Based on your situation, we’ll tailor a solution to fit your goals and budget.

• Deliver relevant content
• Convert visitors into contributors

Neither of these situations tends to arise by accident. You need a robust, proven strategy for accomplishing both parts of this equation.
According to research, typical social websites have contribution rates of between 6-12% of the visitors that sign-in. We specialize in developing sites that far out-perform the average. In fact, our clients generally experience participation rates of 14 -28% and sometimes even higher.
