SPR, Inc.

Our Background

SPR is a consulting services company specializing in software re-engineering of legacy systems. For more than 23 years, we have provided information technology services to Fortune 1000 companies throughout the Midwest.

Our involvement with century compliance began in 1987, when we removed defects from an equipment maintenance application for a major airline. This project sensitized SPR to the rampant potential for error in our client's applications, and compelled us to respond to these shortcomings.

Our Approach

SPR's approach to servicing our customers revolves around employing experienced, professional people, using state-of-the-art software tools, following a proven, repeatable methodology.

People
The positive impact of motivated, committed people can not be over stated --- particularly on projects like Century Compliance. Our professional staff averages over 15 years experiences and focuses on maintaining and improving existing systems. Where your own people resources may not be available or their long-term availability is questionable, we offer a virtually unlimited supply of people dedicated to making your systems century compliant.

Tools
SPR recognizes the benefits of using tools whenever possible to help automate the century compliance process. Our technical staff is trained on the commercially available tools required in all phases of the project. SPR remains "tool independent" allowing our technicians to use the century compliance tools of your choice --- or we can recommend the best tools available which are proven to work and are fully supported by dedicated software vendors.

Methodology
To SPR, the critical success factor of a century-compliance project is an effective, repeatable, predictable, and structured process. Renovation2000™, based on our successful Renovation™ methodology, has been developed specifically to address twenty-first century date solutions.
