Senior Vista expertise stays human
Architecture, SQL schema decisions, Vista-specific edge cases, client discovery, QA, and delivery judgment — all Michael Usov, 25+ years experience. AI doesn't know your Vista. I do.
AI-Powered Vista Automation
Custom Vista by Viewpoint work — Crystal Reports, SQL, portals, integrations — shipped in days instead of weeks. 10x faster delivery at 40-60% lower cost, with the same senior expertise and Vista schema safety.
Traditional Vista consulting vs MRU
Same work. Same senior expertise. Dramatically different timeline.
| Vista Work | Traditional Consultant | MRU (AI-Accelerated) |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Crystal Report (complex WIP with drilldowns) | 4–6 weeks / $10–15K | 2–5 days / $4–6K |
| Vista SQL notifier with email routing | 2–3 weeks / $6–9K | 1–3 days / $2–3K |
| Subcontractor compliance portal (MVP) | 3–5 months / $80–150K | 3–5 weeks / $25–50K |
| Vista ↔ CRM bi-directional integration | 2–4 months / $60–100K | 3–6 weeks / $20–40K |
| AP automation (OCR + 3-way match + write-back) | 4–6 months / $120–200K | 6–10 weeks / $40–70K |
How AI-accelerated delivery works
Human expertise where it matters. AI speed where it doesn’t.
AI accelerates the build, not the thinking
We use Claude, Cursor, and Claude Code for boilerplate generation, refactoring, test scaffolding, and SQL optimization. Every line is reviewed. Nothing ships without human verification against real Vista data.
Vista schema safety is non-negotiable
AI never touches production without my review. We follow Trimble's custom-table conventions, use transactions, validate referential integrity, and include rollback scripts. Speed never trumps safety on Vista.
Frequently asked questions
What does "AI-powered" actually mean for Vista work?+
It means we use modern AI development tools (Claude, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate specific parts of the build — boilerplate, test scaffolding, SQL query drafting, code refactoring. Senior Vista judgment (schema decisions, architecture, QA, client discovery) stays human. The combination ships 10x faster at 40-60% lower cost.
Is AI-generated code safe to run against my Vista database?+
We never run AI-generated SQL against production without senior review. Every stored procedure, trigger, and schema change is read, tested on dev, benchmarked, and rolled out with rollback scripts. AI is a typing accelerator, not a decision-maker.
Why are other Vista consultants so much slower?+
Traditional Vista consultants quote weeks because: (1) they manually hand-code every report/integration, (2) they staff junior developers, (3) they have layered approval processes, (4) they optimize for billable hours, not delivery speed. None of that applies to MRU. Senior-led, AI-accelerated, fixed-price scope.
Do you charge less because AI does the work?+
Yes. We pass the speed savings on as lower fixed-price quotes. A custom report that traditionally costs $10-15K typically ships for $4-6K with MRU. Same quality, same senior expertise, dramatically shorter timeline.
What Vista work is NOT suitable for AI acceleration?+
Anything requiring heavy Vista-specific domain judgment — complex schema extensions that could break upgrades, high-risk data migrations, auth/security work. We still do these, but they take full traditional time because the human thinking is the bottleneck, not the typing.
