"As a software developer at Prime ProData, Inc., I have the best of all worlds. Because we develop and support a variety of applications for the meat and food processing industries, I always have a variety of interesting projects to work on, and there’s always something new to learn. I find that very rewarding. Prime ProData is a great place to work and grow as a developer."

"For several years I’ve been involved in the first-line support of one of our major software offerings, so I’ve been able to work closely with many of our clients. Working with them to develop programming solutions and enhancements to make their jobs easier has been both challenging and rewarding. No software product is perfect, and there are always enhancements to be made as business needs change. Being able to work one-on-one with clients to make needed updates helps me to believe that my work is important and will be appreciated by them."

"Prime ProData, Inc. is a growing IT company that wants to make a positive, lasting impact on its market. More importantly, though, it wants to make a positive impact on the people who depend on us for professionally written and user-friendly software. I wholeheartedly agree with that philosophy."

"One of the nicest things about working as a software developer at Prime ProData is the variety of work I’m able to do. I’ve had the opportunity to work and/or have input on just about every project we’ve developed since arriving here, while still maintaining my primary focus on one major project."

"Although my primary duties involve development, I also have input on the designs for applications and databases, release schedules, and release content. I’m also responsible for the development of test plans, technical documentation, application support, and assisting other developers as needed. This allows me to occasionally ‘take a break’ from the concentration of coding."

"A personally satisfying aspect of my job is that I like working for a technology company where the applications I’ve worked on are used by so many different people. It’s a good feeling to know that employees of other companies are using an application that I can point to and say ‘I wrote that!” These are people who choose to use our applications because they are user-friendly and do the job so well."

"Structure is the first word that comes to my mind when I think about the development process at Prime ProData. Our approach is structured and follows well defined standards of design, beginning with program specifications."

"A lot of what happens during specification process involves reaching a shared understanding of what needs to be done. This takes time to do correctly, and can’t be rushed. Developing project specification is followed by reviews and approvals. In fact, the majority of my time is spent developing specifications, designing programs, and writing technical documentation. We don’t rush to release a product that we know will have to be fixed later."

"Another aspect of development at Prime ProData is that we use the best tools and technologies available, which I think give us a competitive edge. For example, after recently researching new programming technologies, we decided to use a product that makes our code faster and more reliable. This meant rewriting several applications, but the effort was worth it. I think our customers will agree."

"Here at Prime ProData, we approach each project with as much professionalism as we can. For example, as a developer, it is hard not to immediately begin coding when a new project is started, but we discipline ourselves not to begin until the functional specifications are well defined and understood. Because the structure and features of the end product are conceived before the coding begins, it insures better software quality once the application is written. Then, after the coding is done, each program is tested and re-tested to insure that it performs to standards."

"For me, there is nothing like the feeling of releasing a well written product and knowing that it will help our customers to meet their goals on a daily basis. This is what we, at Prime ProData, want to do with every product – meet and exceed each customer’s expectations. As a developer, this is my first and foremost goal. I’m glad that I work for a company that has that goal, too."

"Since my first day on the job I’ve been actively involved in many new and exciting projects. I’ve become a member of the best development team around. Working with so many talented colleagues I’m stretched each day to learn new technologies and better practices to develop the best applications I can.

What’s so great at Prime ProData isn’t just the applications and projects you are making contributions to; it’s the company culture that encourages new learning and time to do things right without sacrificing quality. It’s not how fast you can do something but rather, what’s the best way to do it. This component to our development process is the key that makes us proud to fully stand behind what we deliver.

Every day, Prime ProData has something new to offer and that’s exciting. We are performance driven and always challenging ourselves to continually improve our processes and application development standards. I’m proud to be a member of the Prime ProData team!
