Client Testimonials

SageKey was the first vendor I had the privilege to work with at a professional level and I could not have wished for anything better. SageKey has provided a consistently high standard of project management, design, development and support throughout multiple projects that I have had the opportunity of working together. They constantly impressed me, coming up with solutions for whatever I threw at them. I would highly recommend teaming up with SageKey for any type of project, be it simple or complex, and I look forward to working with them on other projects.

Custom Software Development

Making Great Software Together

We have a reputation for building great software with our customers. We are calm, easy to work with and have a knack for creating solid working relationships. Above all, our goal is to satisfy our customers and exceed expectations.

We have been in business for 15 years and have completed over 600 projects.

Windows Development

SageKey has been designing and developing applications to run on Microsoft Windows since our inception in 1996. Our humble roots are reflected in our developer tools; we originally built our name around our expertise in Microsoft Access installations. However, in the last fifteen years we have broadened our horizons and our core offering is application development.

When looking for the right company to help you create a software application, experience should be a major criterion. SageKey Software has completed over 600 projects for customers all over the world. We have developed a wide range of Windows applications that include, but are not limited to, an electronic medical record system for the dialysis industry, an automated pattern recognition application for the yellow pages industry, two customer relationship management applications for the banking industry and several outcomes research applications for multiple pharmaceutical companies.

Web Development

SageKey has been developing both simple and complex web applications since 2002 and is well versed in the technologies used to build them. Using ASP.Net or the increasingly-popular Ruby on Rails framework, SageKey can build web applications that truly meet your business needs.

One of our specialties, as attested to by the Local Search Association, lies in converting existing Microsoft Access and desktop applications for use on the web.

SageKey is also well versed in building Web Services, which provide a standardized, simplified way for applications to communicate with each other regardless of platform, and has built several applications for clients in various industry sectors.

Database Development

SageKey has been building and maintaining business database applications for the desktop and web for the past 15 years. Our area of focus and expertise is with the Microsoft suite of programming tools, i.e. Visual Studio, SQL Server, Access, Excel, and ASP.Net.

Many developers base their projects on Microsoft Access, understanding the need for a structured way to store data while favouring the simplicity of the Access environment. However, as their projects grow, developers find themselves getting stuck. They need a more powerful solution but are unable or unwilling to move beyond Access.

At SageKey we use Visual Studio, Microsoft's enterprise software development package, and SQL Server, a robust and efficient data server capable of handling complex data queries and high load. With these tools we can help your application reach a wider audience, especially as a web-based application. Plus, with your application backed by SQL Server, you can add Web Services allowing your data to be accessed over the Internet on any platform. Expand your application from the web to mobile devices while keeping your data in a single location.

Medical Industry

We have been building software applications for the medical industry since 2001 and have completed a wide range of projects to high standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

We are not an ordinary company and we do not create ordinary results. Some of the things that set us apart are the quality of our developers, a fully audited manufacturing process and the company infrastructure required to create software for FDA regulated applications such as clinical trials, patient registries and electronic medical records.

Developing custom medical software that complies with FDA standards is a specific, provable, auditable set of skills, procedures and infrastructure that only a few custom software companies possess. We have this capability and we have passed independent audits that prove it. We welcome you to visit us and conduct your own audit of our methodologies, capabilities, standard operating procedures and infrastructure.

Yellow Pages Industry

SageKey has been working with and developing software for the Yellow Pages Industry since 2004. Our close involvement with the industry has allowed us to gain an in-depth understanding of its needs that few can match. SageKey has developed into a leader in this industry thanks to our long term partner, the Local Search Association (formerly the Yellow Pages Association).

SageKey was originally hired to create an installation for LSA’s IRIS Desktop application; however, over the course of time, our vendor – customer relationship has blossomed into a partnership. SageKey has designed and developed outstanding software year after year for the Local Search Association, and we have become an extension of their IT Department.

By supplying resources, generating ideas and assisting with trouble shooting for the Local Search Associations in house tools and external business applications, SageKey is a true partner in LSA’s long term plan.

Banking Industry

SageKey Software has been developing applications of all shapes and size since 1996. We have consistently adapted to the ever changing market in order to keep our skills relevant and provide our customers with the results they deserve. We thrive on a challenge, and we often find ourselves working on projects that many companies simply cannot handle.

Since 1999, we have been working with New Vision Marketing Ltd. in the financial industry. During that time we have assisted in the design, development and support of two successful sales and tracking tools: Biz-Link and SEGManager.

Examples of Our Work

INSTOR

An online stroke patient registry.

INSTOR

SageKey was hired by the Neurovascular Research Foundation to develop a custom patient registry used to monitor and assess the effectiveness of several types of stroke treatments and techniques. They had been using an off-the-shelf registry solution for several years; however, they decided they needed a custom solution after being repeatedly limited by poor data validation and inadequate customization.

The software we developed allows accurate, validated data to be collected without over burdening the end user. The built in benchmarking provides immediate results to the end users and registry administrators. The software was developed to be HIPAA compliant and all patient related data is encrypted to protect the privacy of the patients.

Iris Online

In 2004 the Local Search Association (then called the Yellow Pages Association) asked SageKey to build a complex ASP.Net web-based application with the same functionality as their existing desktop application. Both the timeframe and budget for the project were tight.

SageKey put a three-person team on the project and delivered on time and on budget. The application was presented at a national convention a week later to rave reviews.

The web application was built using asp.Net with a SQL Server backend and gives users access to terabytes worth of current and historical Yellow Pages data and files.

Over the years the application has had a lot more functionality added and has gone through several revisions and versions. It now far surpasses the original application in every way.

IRIS ONLINE is a paid subscription service provided by the Local Search Association and access to most of the site requires a password. The entry to the site can be viewed at irisonline.localsearchassociation.org

Share of Voice

SageKey was hired in 2010 by the Local search Association (formerly Yellow Pages Association) to expand the existing Yellow Pages Indexing system into a more robust system that could handle an increased workload, higher throughput and expanded reporting.

Over the course of the next year, the project’s scope continued to expand right up to the release. In the end, SageKey delivered a multifaceted product consisting of two websites, four windows applications and a dozen windows services.

All of these applications work together to provide a straight forward and easy to use reporting website that allows the end user to make sense of extremely complex data.

Breeze

Breeze Software has an application for managing custodial services. They wanted to bring it to the web and make it mobile. We developed a website for them that provides similar functionality to its desktop counterpart. We developed an application to allow their customers to synchronize their local data with the website, plus an iPhone-optimized mobile site that their customers can use in the field.

Inspections performed on-site are automatically kept in sync and their clients can sync that data back to their desktops when ready. The website also recreates a number of the reports and graphs from the desktop software, making it easier for distributed teams to view and work with their data.

Web service providing access to indexed Yellow Pages advertisement data.

Web Services

In 2007 the Local Search Association (then called the Yellow Pages Association) again teamed with SageKey to bring its vision of giving its member clients and CMRs the ability to design their own in-house tools around IRIS ONLINE headings data.

SageKey desgined a multi-level web service that interfaces not only with LSA subscribers but a cerntal repository of Yellow Pages directories. This allows clients to request any one of over fifteen million headings, which can then be show to their clients. This system replaces an old and very time and resouce intensive practice of an employee phsically tearing a page from a Yellow Pages directory so it could then be sent to a client. This is why LSA Web Services are commonly refered to as "The Tear Pages Service".

LSA Web Services are a paid subscription service provided by the Local Search Association and access to the site requires a password. The entry to the page can be viewed at wservices.localsearchassociation.org

DIRECTORY CODE REQUEST

Online service simplifying the process of managing thousands of advertisement directories.

Read More
Directory Code Request

The Local Search Association is the central distrubutor of directory information for its members. In order to facilitate this across more than 8,500 published directories, each directory must have its own unique directory code. In the past, this would involve either calling the association directly, or filling out a paper form and faxing it to them for processing.

When the LSA approached SageKey about automating the process, we were more than happy to help!

Working with LSA programmers and staff SageKey developed a helpful and easy to use online form, simplifying the process for everyone involved. The website then emailed the standardized, completed form to LSA staff where it could be verified and entered into the LSA IRIS system. Codes were also embedded into the emailed form that would allow either LSA staff, or the company that created the request, to return to the site and make any changes or continue filling out missing information.

DIALYSIS DATA MANAGER

Electronic Medical Records system to manage data from kidney dialysis machines.

Read More
Dialysis Data Manager

Amgen Pharmaceutical hired SageKey to develop a full Electronic Medical Records system to manage patient data within Dialysis Clinics. This software system contains all of the patient records and replaces the traditional patient chart. As dialysis patients need to come in to the clinic 3 times a week for a 4 hour appointment, paper records often grow to a file many feet thick.

The software we developed collects data directly from the dialysis machine and downloads patient laboratory results electronically. A rich set of graphing and reporting tools were added for physicians to view their patients' health over time. The software was developed to FDA medical device standards and passed an independant audit for the applicable FDA standards for patient privacy, medical devices and electronic signatures.

Co-op Online

In 2006 the Local Search Association (then called the Yellow Pages Association) asked SageKey for help in designing a web based application that would merge three separate desktop applications.

Working closely with LSA developers and staff, SageKey Software and the Local Search Association came up with CO-OP ONLINE. The completed project accomplished several objectives.

  • A centralized location where CMRs could search for and find information on co-op programs available to their clients.
  • A central and easy to maintain place where LSA staff could add and edit co-op program information.
  • A repository for authorized images that can be used in Yellow Pages co-op advertising.
  • The ability to generate the bi-annual co-op advertisers handbook from the live data.

CO-OP ONLINE is a paid subscription service provided by the Local Search Association and access to most of the site requires a password. The entry to the site can be viewed at cooponline.localsearchassociation.org

YELLOW PAGES INDEXING

Automated indexing of Yellow Pages directories.

Yellow Pages Indexing

SageKey was hired in 2006 by the Local search Association (formerly Yellow Pages Association) to develop a system that could rapidly index Yellow Pages directories. The requirements were steep as accuracy and performance were extremely important in determining the products eventual feasibility.

With each publisher, and in many cases each directory within a publisher, having different colors, layouts and quirks, the system had to be very powerful, yet flexible enough to handle the nuances of font, color and layout changing from directory to directory. There was little tolerance for error and the system had to handle up to four thousand Yellow Pages directories per year.

Sagekey delivered a set of applications that automates over 95% of the process, provides real time monitoring and reporting and completely integrates with several of LSA’s existing applications. The system was a major success and has been expanded several times since the initial release in order to incorporate new types of directories.

The applications are still in use today and provide data to several of the Local Search Associations key business areas.
