Why us? Do we really need another software company?

There were two reasons I started Assurant Software Solutions:
  • The industry was 60% under served.
  • They weren't following any process and most of the projects failed.
  • In an industry that has a failure rate over 50% you can't afford to hire just anybody to do your development! The developers at Assurant Software Solutions are the best in the industry. They've gone to the best schools, worked for the best companies, have the highest IQ scores and have practical knowledge on how to develop complex software. Our architects will define the requirements for the project, walk you through the process and make sure your project succeeds!
