FAQ

What is STG?

STG is "Software Technology Group." We are software and technology consultants. That means we solve your engineering problems. We provide software and technology solutions to fit your needs. Need a geek? You tell us what you want to accomplish, and we deliver the software, service, expertise, or other technology solution to get your job done.

Where do STG engineers work?

It's up to you. Our engineers can work at your site or at our Beaverton, Oregon headquarters. Either way, we work with you to ensure that your solution will satisfy your individual requirements.

Who can use STG's services?

We understand software and we understand engineering. We are technical and we are approachable. When Dunn & Bradstreet ranked us at the 92nd Percentile for client satisfaction, it was a testament of our ability to work equally with the national Fortune 500s companies and local small business organizations

If your business is non-technical in nature, but you need technical expertise to make it perform better for you, we can help. We take the time to understand your business activities and your computing and technology needs.

If you are a large company wishing to supplement your in-house talent for special or ongoing projects, we can help with that too.

What if you are a government agency, a school, a university, a research institute, or a health-care facility? We can help you identify, build and implement technology solutions that will help your unit produce more at higher efficiency.

Are you an inventor or entrepreneur with a great idea but not enough time or knowledge to turn it into a reality? We can help.

STG employs full-time, experienced engineers in a broad array of technical disciplines. Chances are we have the expertise you need to make your project happen, on schedule and to your specification.

How does STG do its job?

Our engineers work with you to understand your needs, write a specification, and build an implementation plan. STG then follows rigorous process standards to make sure the product we deliver is what you ordered.

Is STG a small business or a big corporation?

STG is a small business with big britches.

STG qualifies as a small business as defined by the Small Business Administration and by federal, state and local governments. We qualify for set-asides and special programs not available to large businesses. This can be an advantage when you choose STG as your sub-contractor in your government-funded business endeavor.

More importantly, our status as a small business translates into a closer relationship with our clients. This facilitates delivering the right solution, at the right time, and for the right price.

At the same time, we are large enough to maintain a remarkable range of expertise. Our dedicated employee-engineers offer services and solutions in software development (PC, mainframe, and handheld devices); network construction, hosting, and administration; telecommunications; wireless and world-wide-web technologies; database design and implementation; and embedded systems (integrated controller software for devices). We also do digital video and audio; biomedical engineering and research process automation; user interface development, including software localization (conversion for use in other languages and countries); and much more.

What is the advantage of having so much expertise?

The power of STG's unusual breadth is only fully realized when your project demands the integration of multiple technology areas. We can do that. We love to do that. Companies that specialize in just one technical area can't, and don't.

What's it like doing business with STG?

When you do business, you want it to be a pleasant as well as productive experience. You want to work with knowledgeable, experienced, and courteous people. The owner/operators of STG founded the company on the principles of honesty, integrity, communication, and customer value. Ten years later, those principles are still the driving force behind STG's internal operations and, most importantly, our relationships with our clients.
