Enhancing Productivity with Training, Consulting and Software

Media Automation, Inc. has been providing clients with custom applications, system configuration, and microcomputer-based services since its incorporation in 1992. We have extensive experience with the IBM PC compatible lines of computers and servers as well as AS/400 midrange systems. With a cumulative experience base of nearly 70 years, our recommendations are based on experience using products in a variety of multi-vendor environments. Whether you are looking for preconfigured systems meeting your requirements, or a niche market solution customized to your environment, we have the experience to help you make the right choices.

In a field marked by rapid technological advances, you need a company who can keep up with the latest developments. Media Automation has the resources to stay in the forefront. If you are short on resources, we have the systems support to develop and test off-site. These include Windows 7, Windows 95/98/NT/XP-, OS/2-, and AS/400-based networks and an extensive software library. Or, we can work on-site to meet security or other concerns unique to your enterprise. If you require custom applications, our programming skills include Java, C, C++, Assembler, RPG/400, Pascal, PAL, Perl, xBASE, Rexx and Visual Basic.

We choose the languages which will generate the most efficient results for your job. Or, if you need to maintain the code, we can tailor the languages used to your specifications. Of course, when working with AS/400 and microcomputers, database development becomes a primary issue. In addition to the database features of the AS/400, we develop applications in Access, Paradox, xBASE, and SQL. When you need to push your microcomputer applications to the limits, we have the expertise to help you find and learn the software you need. Whether you need to bring text and images together for desktop publishing applications, or integrate your work under the latest spreadsheets, we have the experience to lead you through a sometimes confusing market. We've worked with applications as diverse as financial modeling, real-time process control and data analysis, custom TCP/IP data exchange applications, and mailing list management. We have experience with many of the most popular PC products from AutoCAD to Microsoft Word. And, we've worked with hardware from custom data acquisition and analysis equipment to standard peripherals such as scanners and optical storage systems.

A successful consulting relationship relies on good communication skills. From our Minneapolis, Minnesota headquarters we routinely assist clients in Minnesota; Ohio; Tennessee; Pennsylvania; New York; Washington, DC; and California. When working with remote locations, we are accustomed to using internet access as well as more traditional fax and direct-dial modems. Our communications skills are not limited to off-site work.
