Software development

Running a business can be a challenging task, but effective use of your IT resources can make life a lot easier.

As software developers with over 20 years' experience, we can offer you a custom software solution for less than you think.

We use the very latest technologies, which radically reduces the time required to develop quality custom software applications. From macro-driven Excel spreadsheets to full applications, we can provide the tools to help you manage your business.

Current trends

As the distinction between traditional desktop applications and web applications becomes increasingly blurred, we can offer cutting-edge solutions that will grow with your business. We can develop full applications that run within a browser, eliminating deployment and upgrade issues and greatly simplifying the management of your company's IT infrastructure.

Our philosophy

We work closely with our clients every step of the way in order to meet their precise requirements. We never assume that we know best (it's your busines, after all), but we will offer the benefit of the experience we have accumulated over many years. We won't blind you with jargon, but explain everything clearly in plain English.

Even after delivery of the finished application, we provide our famous after-sales support to quickly identify and resolve any problems, or to adapt the application to meet new requirements.

A bit of jargon

For the technically minded, we work with a wide range of mostly Microsoft technologies:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 is our development environment of choice.
• C# is our preferred programming language, but we are equally experienced in VB.NET, Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic for Applications.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to 2008 as well as MySQL, Access etc.
• Windows Forms (traditional desktop applications).
• ASP.NET (browser-based applications).
• Silverlight 4 and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF - suitable for both desktop and browser applications).
• Microsoft Office-based applications (all versions from XP to 2010).
• PHP, JavaScript, HTML etc. (see our web development page for more details).
