Solutions Center

The Guident Solution Center is designed to bring a superior level of knowledge and support to Guident’s employees and clients. Guident’s Solution Center provides lab environments to support application development, prototyping, and product demonstrations. It allows our employees to ensure we are up-to-date on the latest and greatest technologies.

The Solution Center provides existing and prospective clients with interactive, live demonstrations and facilitates rapid development services. It is equipped with current and newly introduced technologies and allows Guident to jumpstart engagements. With the Solution Center, clients can enjoy the benefits of a sandbox with a heterogeneous layout, and Guident employees' familiarity with the integration of disparate software and operating systems.

Guident often uses its Solution Center to develop solutions for clients that wish to have offsite development. Guident has a flexible in-house infrastructure that can handle diverse client needs. Guident also has VPN access allowing clients visibility into the work that is being developed off-site.
