About Us
Linker Systems is a full-service computer software and firmware research, design, and development company. We are not a temporary employment agency, "head hunter," or job shop.
Our people are highly experienced, and have been in the computer industry for many years. Linker Systems has successfully completed many projects for our customers. Our areas of
expertise include business applications, multimedia, graphics, robotics, scientific applications, factory control systems, and the Internet, just to name a few.
We are designers, systems analysts, researchers, developers, programmers, and integrators. Linker Systems is the company to choose when you've been told the job is "impossible,"
when the scope of the actual project has your current consultant groping for solutions, when the project has already sent your consultant running, or when you simply want the job done
right the first time.
At Linker Systems, our services and our entire attitude are different. Our main goal is to successfully complete your project on-time and on-budget. We are your advocate, and will
always work in your best interest. We will always give you a down-to-earth, honest assessment and present you with all of your options in a clear and understandable format.
Linker Systems is flexible. We can work in a variety of ways to meet your requirements. For most jobs, we can work either at an hourly rate or at a fixed price. We can either work
on your project at your location or, as we have our own fully equipped R&D facility, we can work on your project at our office without the need to tie up your computer resources.
Give us a call or send us an eMail. We'll be happy to discuss what you need to make your project a success.

Call for details
On/Off-Site
Linker Systems can do the job at your location, or take the job to our office and perform our work without using your valuable office space or resources. We have our own
facilities, with a great variety of platforms and operating systems.
We can also remotely monitor the health and status of the development project, through various secure means. That means we're always there when you need us and we won't get in your way.
We at Linker Systems do all of our work in the United States. "Offsite" doesn't need to mean "offshore".
Compare Our Service
At Linker Systems, our services and our attitude are different.
Perhaps your company has a computer-related problem or opportunity. Perhaps you just need to get a presence on the Internet. Perhaps what you need has not been done before. That's where
we come in.
| Who we are — What we do |
Who we aren't — Why we are different |
- Linker Systems is a research, development, and consulting company
|
- Consultant employment agencies are just that — they want to place as many people as possible
|
- At Linker Systems, our main goal is to do what you need done, to make your project a success, and do it on-time and on-budget.
|
- Consultant employment agencies goals are to place as many full-timers in a facility as possible.
|
- The people who work for Linker Systems work for Linker Systems as regular employees, or as very longstanding contract arrangements. If we do a job for you, the people who
did the job will still be with Linker Systems the week after the job. And for years after.
|
- The people placed by the consultant employment agencies are temporary employees. As soon as your job is finished, they'll be out looking for the next consulting job; perhaps
with a different agency; perhaps in another city.
|
- We know our people are good. That's why we keep them or continue to work with them.
|
- They believe their people are Ok. After all, their resumes look good.
|
- We're flexible. If you want 80 hours of work per week, fine; you get two people. Just need 15 hours a week? Not a problem.
|
- Temporary agencies, being "body" oriented, want to place as many bodies as they can on the job, at 40 hours each.
|
- We have our own facilities, with a great variety in computer platforms. That means that we can do the job at your location, or take the job to our office and perform our work
without using your valuable office space and resources.
|
- Their facilities are sales offices.
|
- Our people have a wide variety of skills, from business programming, to scientific, to factory control, to custom work, to the Internet... you name it. We have the experience
and expertise to make your project a success.
|
- Tell them what you need; they'll then look, through their resumes, for someone who seems to have the buzzwords you are looking for.
|
- Got something unique or unheard of? We'll learn what we need to learn (new or arcane languages, for instance) at no charge!
|
- What? Are you kidding? Of course you're going to pay for every hour spent on anything.
|
- We have a 4-hour minimum, and bill on a 15 minute increment (except on fixed-price projects). You pay only for the time you need.
|
- No job under 2 to 4 weeks is worth considering. You'll generally pay for whole days or weeks.
|
- On most types of projects, we can quote an hourly rate, or do work at a fixed price. This means that you know what you'll get (with an actual guarantee) and what you'll pay,
before we even start.
|
- No way are they going to guarantee a fixed price on any job./li>
|
- There's no way to do this one with humility: We're good.
|
- "We checked their resumes. Everything should be fine."
|
- The bottom line: We'll do what you need. We'll do it fast. We'll do it right, the first time.

Now you know who we are and what we do. If we can help you out, give us a call or eMail.
