Business Details
We founded Cicada Consulting Group in 1995 as a sole proprietorship and formally incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina in 1996. For nearly three decades, we have specialized in building and maintaining highly customized, database-driven web applications tailored to unique business requirements. Our team has deep expertise in deploying both hosted and stand-alone web application solutions to match diverse client infrastructure and security needs. We prioritize transparent, client-centered communication, sharing technical insights at the exact level of detail each stakeholder requests without unnecessary jargon. Our rapid development feedback loop lets clients review the latest build of their application as frequently as updates are released, ensuring alignment with expectations early in the process.
We are committed to long-term client partnerships, with most of our customers working with our team for 10 years or longer. When urgent time-sensitive issues arise for our clients, we mobilize immediately to address problems no matter the time of day. We provide full ongoing support and enhancement services for all web applications we build, rather than handing off projects after launch. We adhere to strict project fit standards, only accepting work where our custom development capabilities deliver clear value that commercial off-the-shelf or commoditized solutions cannot provide. Our operational model is built around client satisfaction, and we work to ensure every delivered application meets the exact business needs of the organizations we serve.

Services
Custom Web Application Development
We build highly customized, database-driven web applications tailored to each client's unique business requirements. Our target audience includes businesses whose needs cannot be fully met by commercial off-the-shelf or commoditized web services. Clients receive fully functional, scalable applications that align exactly with their operational goals, reducing workflow inefficiencies.
Hosted Web Applications
We offer fully hosted custom web applications, so clients do not need to manage on-premise server infrastructure or maintenance tasks. This service is ideal for businesses that want to reduce IT overhead and access their applications from any location with internet connectivity. Clients benefit from automatic updates, built-in security patches, and reliable uptime managed by our team.
Stand-Alone Web Applications
We build stand-alone custom web applications that clients can host on their own on-premise or third-party cloud infrastructure as needed. This service is designed for businesses with specific data security, compliance, or infrastructure requirements that preclude hosted solutions. Clients get full control over their application environment while still receiving our expert development and customization services.
Application Support and Enhancement
We provide ongoing support and enhancement services for all custom web applications we build, regardless of when they were launched. This service is for existing clients who need bug fixes, feature updates, or performance optimizations for their deployed applications. Clients avoid the cost and disruption of migrating to a new system by working with the team that built their original application.
