📅 Where PCG comes from
Allison Woolbert started programming in 1983 as a statistical data analyst for the U.S. Air Force, building applications that tracked statistics and managed a fleet of 28 highly sophisticated aircraft. That was not a casual introduction to the field. It was mission-critical work where data errors had real consequences, and it shaped how she has approached every project since.
1983
Allison begins programming for the U.S. Air Force as a statistical data analyst. Builds applications managing a fleet of 28 aircraft. First exposure to software where failure is not an option.
Early 1980s - 1994
Develops hundreds of applications across small businesses, nonprofit organizations, Fortune 500 corporations, law enforcement agencies, and military operations. Builds expertise across industries most software firms never touch.
1995
Founds Phoenix Consultants Group with a single focus: custom software for businesses whose problems no existing product solves. The name reflects the approach. Build something new from what others could not or would not attempt.

🔧 What PCG actually does and does not do
PCG builds custom software for private-sector businesses that have operations no off-the-shelf product handles correctly. The work spans legacy system rescue, new application development, data migration, compliance platform deployment, and AI-integrated reporting. Everything runs on .NET Core 8, Razor Pages, and SQL Server. PCG hosts what it builds and provides direct support after deployment.
Who PCG works with in 2026
PCG's clients in 2026 are environmental consulting firms, industrial operators with EHS teams, specialty inspection and certification businesses, and any private-sector operation running on software that was built more than ten years ago and has started to fail. The common thread is a specific operational problem that existing products do not solve.
PCG does not work with government agencies, nonprofits, legal practices, or accounting firms. Those sectors fall outside PCG's documented expertise and the procurement cycles do not match how PCG operates. The right client is a private-sector decision-maker with a real problem and the authority to move on it.
📋 How PCG works with clients
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. Two to three hours. Allison maps the current system, identifies what is breaking and why, documents the process logic that needs to be preserved, and scopes what a replacement would require. That diagnostic costs $2,500 and produces a written proposal with a fixed price before any development begins.
You own the source code
Full ownership transfers at project completion with documentation. No vendor lock-in.
Fixed-price proposals
No surprises after work begins. Scope and price are agreed in writing before development starts.
Direct access to Allison
No account managers. No support ticket queues. Allison takes every call personally.
Issues resolved within hours
Most problems on PCG-built systems are resolved the same day they are reported.
PCG hosts what it builds
Hosting, maintenance, and support are available on monthly retainer after deployment.
Progress shared throughout
Samples, designs, and workflows shared at every stage. The client has final say on functionality and appearance.
Working on a problem that does not fit any product you have found?
The diagnostic engagement takes 2 to 3 hours and produces a written scope and fixed-price proposal. No development begins until both are agreed.
