| Rocky Smolin | Beach Access Software | Advanced | rockysmolin@bchacc.com | To create a successful business application two distinct skills are required: 1) a depth and breadth of experience in programming and in creating applications with intuitive, easy-to-use user interfaces, and, 2) an understanding of business practices, processes and systems. Beach Access Software understands that business needs drive software development, NOT the other way around. Our success is built on standing between the client and the computer, translating the customer's requirements for information into effective business applications. Rocky Smolin (M.B.A., San Diego State, 1974) , founder of Beach Access Software, brings both of those skills to bear on the applications he creates. He began programming computers over 40 years ago as a high school student and sold his first commercial application while still an undergraduate student.
