who we are

bitart is a small Minnesota-based consulting firm headed by Gerd Knops. Maria Knops is in charge of finances and day to day operations. A small group of highly trained and experienced individuals supports us as needed.

 

what we do

bitart specializes in the design, implementation and maintenance of complex software systems and hybrid applications. Hybrid applications are applications that make use of various hardware components and programming languages in order to yield the most efficient solution to a given problem. Efficiency is defined as a project demands. Some projects may define efficiency in terms of time to market. Others may define it in cost, scalability or any number of other objectives.

bitart is specialized in prepress, publishing, communication and manufacturing systems.

 

what we have done

bitart has been involved in many projects. Some examples are described on our solutions page.

 

platforms

bitart prefers Apple OS X, Linux and other Unix-type server and client platforms.

bitart uses a variety of programming languages such as Objective-C and C, Perl, Postscript, Java, scripting languages and others. We are familiar with a wide variety of protocols and technologies commonly used on the internet.

 

how we work

bitart employs tele-commuting rather than ongoing on-site consulting. Our experience allows us to convert your ideas into efficient solutions in a very short time. All our projects are billed on an hourly basis. We do not consider fixed price bids.
