Successful software design depends more on the ability of the
software architect to understand business and user needs than on
computing skill.
An important advantage of an experienced consultant is substantially less
time required from the customer to educate the consultant.
 Wedelich Consulting has significant experience with technical engineering
applications in the oil industry, especially well engineering.
Wedelich Consulting also has
significant
experience with business systems that use information for decision
support. This combination of business experience (past president of
a software company) and technical experience provides the understanding
necessary to support the strategy -
Put Business Value First.
Expertise in multiple areas indicates the ability to learn
new domain areas. It also helps reduce the learning curve for a new domain, as
business problems are often similar between areas. The wider the
experience - the greater the success.
- Well Engineering
Engineering applications require a user interface to collect
key input data in a form known to the end user, then transform the input
as required by the calculation program, and finally to extract the
results and present them - usually in graphic form. Wedelich
Consulting has over 20 years of experience with well engineering
applications.
Application areas include tubing and casing design, drill string
design, torque and drag analysis, hole cleaning and cuttings transport,
coiled tubing design, directional planning, and wellbore simulation for
temperature and pressure. Our most recent work is an
application
framework that provides a consistent user interface for several
different drilling technical applications.
- Decision Support
Most companies have large databases that track key cost,
revenue, and performance measures, yet most of this data is not easily
accessible by those who need the information to improve business
decisions. Wedelich Consulting has developed a
graphic based tool that provides quick and easy access to business
information in charts and tables. The tool can be easily extended
to add additional information sources and presentation views.
- Office Applications
The Microsoft Office suite integrated with Visual
Basic for Applications provides a powerful development tool for
specialty database and spreadsheet applications. Wedelich
Consulting has developed and improved several MS Access
applications for an oil field services company. Some of these
applications are integrated with MS Excel spreadsheets.
