About Us
MS Datastep, Inc. was founded over a decade ago in the historical village of Dixboro, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our design and development team has extensive experience in database system engineering, graphic design, web integration, web design, corporate branding and data analysis. Some long-term clients include: Pulte Homes, DTE Energy, AFFINA, Dairy Management, and KALPA Systems. We can work in concert with major corporate IT departments or act as virtual ones for smaller companies. We are builders in the background, knowing clients' reputations are influenced by the systems we implement.

Philosophy
Positive attitudes and a sincere willingness to be helpful have lead to long-term partnerships with many of our clients. When MS Datastep, Inc. takes on a new project, we become an important part of the client's success. Because of this, we work on maintenance tasks as enthusiastically as upgrades and enhancements. We preemptively resolve issues before they turn into problems. It's a simple business practice that has been ingrained into our corporate culture.

Development Approach
We start new projects by letting the client educate us about their business. We set up a meeting to listen to what they want, and ask questions to gather as much information as possible. Some clients have very specific needs and other would like advice on how to accomplish their goals.

We will use the client's information, industry research, and our experience to propose thorough solutions that include detailed specs, timetables and aesthetic considerations. It's our goal to look beyond the immediate needs of the program and provide a solution that is flexible and expandable for the future.

Once the web application has been developed, we test it fully so the only surprise at the go-live date is a pleasant one. We consider all the hard work put into the application an important investment of ours, as well as the client's, and will continue to provide maintenance and implement updates as needed. Because systems evolve over time, long-term partnerships are beneficial to project success.
