Question 1

What does Parka Software do?

Accepted Answer

Parka Software is a software project rescue company and boutique .NET consultancy at 10 S 5th St in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It takes over software projects that have stalled or lost the developer who understood them, migrates legacy .NET systems, builds new custom applications and supports them on a monthly retainer. Clients include healthcare organizations, law firms and Minnesota government and associations.

Question 2

Who actually does the work on an engagement?

Accepted Answer

The engineer who scopes the project is the engineer who builds it. The same engineer stays on the project from the first conversation through delivery. Where a project needs additional capacity, it comes from a known network of engineers and the client is told who is on the project and what they are responsible for.

Question 3

How does an engagement start?

Accepted Answer

Engagements start with a no-cost conversation about the system and the problem, followed where appropriate by a fixed-fee assessment of the code, data, integrations and deployment. The assessment produces a written account of what exists, the real risks and what the options cost, and it stands on its own. Clients can take it to their internal team.

Question 4

Does AI replace the need for a .NET consultant?

Accepted Answer

AI has made generating code substantially cheaper, and AI tooling is used heavily in the work, which compresses timelines and lowers cost. It has not replaced domain judgment: knowing the regulatory display rules for clinical outcome data, knowing which integrations a document management upgrade will break, and knowing what a specific client environment will support. A growing category of work is rescuing systems that were built quickly with AI assistance and are now in production and hard to change safely.

Question 5

What industries does Parka Software specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Healthcare organizations running data registries and regulatory reporting platforms, and law firms running document management, billing and research systems. Past platforms include work for the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, HRSA, the United States Renal Data System at NIH/NIDDK, the Minnesota Secretary of State and AmLaw 200 firms.
