How to get started

We want to hear about your business and what you're hoping to accomplish. If it sounds like a fit, we're happy to prove it out to you before moving forward.

Step 01

Get a Demo

We start by understanding your business and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll give you a demo of our software and answer any questions you might have.

Step 02

We prove it on your data

If it makes sense, we'll put together a proof of concept application working over your data. You see exactly what you'd get, with your own information, before you commit to anything.

Step 03

You choose how to move forward

Once it's proven, you decide. Build it yourself with a training class and our team behind you, or have our consultants build it for you. Either way, you're never on your own.

What you can finally deliver

Do you have projects that keep getting pushed because your team never has time? Here are a few that you'll be able to knock off the list.

Connect disconnected systems

Tie your ERP, databases, and standalone tools together so your team stops manually typing data between systems.

Roll out AI agents, chatbots, and workflows

Deliver AI tools that work over your business data, with IT deciding what it can see, who can use it, and which model runs.

Deliver custom applications

Give the business applications that perfectly fit their needs, faster than it takes to deploy off-the-shelf software.

Replace spreadsheets and aging tools

Turn those old Access databases and spreadsheet processes into secure web applications that can be accessed from anywhere.

Extend your ERP

Build custom features over your ERP database without touching the ERP code, buying expensive modules, or paying per-user fees.

Launch self-service portals

Give customers, employees, and partners their own portal so they can meet their own needs rather than sending tickets to IT.

Deliver an AI strategy that you control

Business leaders are asking for an AI strategy, yet business users are already using unauthorized AI tools. m-Power lets you give them AI tools that run on your existing security model, so IT decides what the AI can see, who can use it, and which model runs.

Control what the AI can see

The AI only reads the tables, rows, and fields you allow, governed by the same security model as the rest of your applications.

Control who can use it

Access runs through your existing authentication and permissions. You control who can use it and what they can do.

Control which model runs

m-Power is model-agnostic. Pick the LLM you trust and swap it whenever you want. No lock-in to one provider.

End the shadow-AI problem

When the approved, governed tool is also the easiest one to use, people stop pasting sensitive data into whatever public tool they found.

Build the AI tools the business is asking for

Assistants, chatbots, workflows, and agents, all built on m-Power and all under the same controls.

AI Assistants

Assistants that understand your data, policies, and processes, so users get answers without leaving your applications.

AI Chatbots

Create and embed chatbots that answer questions and can read/write data (under your control).

AI Workflows

Bring AI to your workflows: Categorize requests, enrich records, draft emails, and trigger approvals.

AI Agents

Create autonomous agents that watch for events, act in your applications, update data, and notify the right people.

Frequently asked questions

Don't see your question? Ask us. You'll talk to a real person who actually cares whether this works for you.

Send us a note

Is mrc a software vendor or a software development firm?

Both, and that's the point. We make m-Power, the platform you build your applications on, and we have a consulting team that can build for you or step in when you need it. You move fast on your own, and when a question comes up, real people pick it up. We work more like an extension of your team.

Yes, though it works differently than most. m-Power generates standard HTML, JavaScript, and Java instead of running your applications inside a proprietary runtime. It installs on your servers or your own cloud account, builds over the databases you already run, and licenses once for unlimited users and applications. If you are comparing low-code platforms and need on-premise deployment, a perpetual license, or generated code your own developers can maintain, m-Power covers all three.

Either, and you can switch anytime. Build it yourself with m-Power and our team behind you, have our consultants deliver a finished project, or start on your own and bring us in when you need extra hands. Most teams use some mix, and you decide how much you want to own day to day.

They build with m-Power, the same platform we sell. It generates most of an application automatically, so our developers spend their time on your business logic instead of writing boilerplate. What they hand you is standard code built on common frameworks. It runs on its own, and any developer can maintain it with or without m-Power.

The same company that built it. Our support team is staffed with m-Power consultants who use the platform every day, so you're not explaining your setup to a script-reader. If a question goes past support, our services team picks up where they left off. There is no handoff to a third party.

You own it. Your applications run in your environment, on your servers, over your data. m-Power is a one-time license with no per-user fees, so adding users or applications never raises the bill. You are not renting access to your own software.

Yes. m-Power generates standard code in the languages and frameworks your developers already use. The applications run on their own, independent of the platform. If you ever moved off m-Power, your team or any developer could keep maintaining what you built. The code is yours.

Yes. m-Power builds over your existing databases, whether that's Db2, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or another JDBC database, and deploys to Windows, Linux, or IBM i. It works with the systems you already run, including your ERP, instead of asking you to move or replace anything.

The AI runs on the same security model as the rest of your applications. IT decides which tables and fields it can read, who is allowed to use it, and which LLM it runs on. m-Power is model-agnostic, so you pick the provider you trust. Your data stays in your environment.

In-house. Every project our consultants deliver is built and supported by our own teams in the US and the UK. When you call support, you reach an m-Power consultant who uses the platform every day, in your time zone. You always know who is working on your software.
