While Adjutant Software began by developing desktop applications, we are now moving into web-based applications focused on fund-raising for political campaigns and other organizations. Another area of focus is building e-commerce solutions based on open-source software.
Currently, we are in the design phase of building a virtual office system for a nation-wide fraternal organization, established in 1938, that has moved out of their brick-and-mortar offices. Their officers are located throughout the country and they conduct all business either digitally or by mail. The objective of this project is to build an integrated system that results in a smoothly operating system at an affordable cost.
Our primary design objective will continue to be as it always has been – simplicity and ease of use. There will always be others who build applications with more features and more flexibility, and we will gladly steer potential customers to what best meets their needs. Our focus continues to be on simplicity and ease of use. We try to include those features that will meet the needs of most – but not all. We try to include sufficient flexibility for most – but not all.
We recognize that software is a tool, and tools are used by people – not the other way around. Tools do not win campaigns – people do. We encourage those in the business of politics to not place their faith in software to win an election. Politics is, as it always has been, a matter of people dealing with people. Good, simple, easy-to-use tools just make it easier.
“Anything that is complex is not useful and anything that is useful is simple. This has been my whole life’s motto.”
