			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting today I will be offering a new service. I&#8217;m tentatively referring to it as <em>Workflow Consulting</em>.</p>
<h2>Who is this service for?</h2>
<p>This is a service primarily aimed at design studios, animation studios, and creative agencies.</p>
<p>If you work at or manage a design studio/agency, and have a large project coming up, but you don&#8217;t know how you can accomplish it with a limited number of staff, then you may want to keep reading&#8230;</p>
<p>Or maybe you&#8217;d like to be able to take on larger projects, but you can&#8217;t afford the extra staff, then this may be of interest to you.</p>
<h2>Who am I?</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve worked as a designer/developer, in both print and interactive design, on several large projects like the scenarios described above. Over the past 5 years, I&#8217;ve had enormous success putting together workflows that accomplish the seemingly impossible.</p>
<h2>What is this service?</h2>
<p>I will assess your situation and devise a custom solution to get the maximum leverage from existing resources.</p>
<p>I can work within your team, using the team&#8217;s existing strengths, to build custom solutions. By using a solution built from within the team, your staff will have a unique understanding of how the system functions. This reduces the need to purchase an expensive solution that requires constant support because no one knows how it works.</p>
<p>Depending on your team&#8217;s experience, I can create custom tools for your workflow, or I can teach your team how to create the tools themselves, including utilization of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li> XML</li>
<li> Relational Databases</li>
<li> Content Management Systems</li>
<li> Object-Oriented Programming Techniques</li>
<li> Modular Design</li>
<li> Scripting and Automation</li>
</ul>
<p>These solutions, far from hindering creativity, will actually free up talented staff to work on the creative aspects of a project, rather than force them to wrestle with the underlying technology.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in getting more out of your workflow, please <a href="http://ajarproductions.com/blog/contact/">contact me</a> for a consultation.</p>
