Engineering Solutions -- It's all in the Process
FSI uses an interactive process with the client to lead toward the best solution. There is no particular formula, only a personal approach with years of experience. Every project requires a variety of skills, that no one person has. For each project, a team is built from FSI's partners. The consortium of partners is extremely skilled at each of their fields. This flexible approach leads to a high quality and low cost solution for the client.
Technology is only a tool, but FSI has experience in various advanced technologies to help develop the best solution for the client. Some of these tools include:
- Database-Driven Web Sites -- FSI specializes
in developing database-driven web sites that are easy to maintain. You
or your staff will not need to learn HTML to become webmasters. Our web
sites all come equipped with password-protected Administration Areas that
you or your staff can use to update the web site. Database connections
are amazingly helpful in managing the content of things like calendars,
guest books or recent news articles. Platforms included ColdFusion, PHP
and ASP programming. Examples include:
- Nutrition Street -- www.nutritionstreetonline.com

tools such as Visual Basic (for applications) to automate repetitive processes.
