Fulbright IT - Project Management, QA/Testing, Training

Welcome to FULBRIGHT IT!
Our partner company is still 2100 Solutions - a Technology Development company.
Fulbright IT specializes in Project Success, proven through our many years of technology consultants, and satisfied customers.
We have the global experience to drive a project from Charter, Define, Measure (Business Requirements), Analyze, Improve to Control/Implementation. These are the major components of Project Management that ensure project success.
Six Sigma approaches such as these provide the structure to implement good quality process such as Standard Software Process which employs the documentation standards for the project.
We have implemented Credit Card Systems from all countries in Latin America to Singapore, throughout the USA, and Europe. Our understanding of End to End Integration in an application or an Enterprise is unsurpassed.
Further, we interface with the Client or Business on a Daily basis to facilitate rapport based communication that imparts the status of a project on a high level, but with enough technical depth to speak to the deepest issues, if necesary.
If you need a website with dynamic/database type functionality, we can do that as well. One of our recent projects was for g.Neil (formerly HROne) in Sunrise, FL. This site delivers over 35 HR tests to clients that purchase tests and userids for the candidates. These are tests with 4 layers of hidden scoring, and the results are displayed in a graphic format for the buyer. There is also an Admin Interface module developed for the client so they can build their own tests and scoring with no coding.... just the interface.
