Bespoke Software Development
Buying off the shelf software can only satisfy your business requirements to an extent and can often leave you with a seperate program for each task and duplicate information about customers in different systems. We can provide bespoke solutions to fit your exact business needs. With expertise in many programming languages and systems we can connect disparate systems and provide relational database-backed applications, stand alone applications or modular applications for larger enterprise solutions. We have years of experience in building applications to specification and use cutting edge techniques and technology platforms. If your company needs to re-engineer business processes to remain competitive, needs new technology systems for credibility and success or simply has a novel or unusual requirement and you just can't find a product that does exactly what you want then we would be happy to discuss building an application tailored to meet the unique requirements of your business.

Web Services Integration
If you are looking to integrate between business applications and websites or web services we can develop interfaces based upon SOAP, REST or XML-RPC standards with relevant API documentation. Business applications can also be developed with a web-based user interface rather than a traditional Windows application if required, making them easily accessible across a network or the Internet without the need for end-users to install software.

Service Oriented Architectures
Wherever appropriate and possible when designing server software we follow SOA design principles, breaking the larger product into smaller highly interoperable components which can enable you to more proactively meet your IT business continuity management requirements. Through running multiple instances of each service component across several servers you receive the benefits of realtime load balancing and monitoring, and in larger scale enterprise deployments benefit from cloud computing capabilities - being able to set information assurance risk levels and action thresholds for maintaining service level agreements and service availability despite extreme and rapid changes in service demand (for example in web server infrastructures for a health service, to capably handle and process additional traffic generated from the general public in the event of an epidemic). This may also involve the presense of additional redundant servers being woken up and sent to sleep based upon a capacity planning schedule and in response to action thresholds being reached and triggered.

Grid Computing Systems Development
There are many applications that can benefit from the use of grid computing to enable resource intensive tasks run smoother, significantly faster and make more efficient use of available infrastructure and processing resources. Does your company regularly need to process large quantities of data or run processing intensive tasks which take a significant amount of time to run, even on the latest multi-core multi-processor servers? We can develop bespoke software to enable these tasks to utilize the processing power of all the servers in your server room or even all the computers in your company if appropriate. Processing can be conducted intensively or in the background, we can produce screensavers that continue processing only when a PC has been left idle, and all the processing and clients can be managed centrally whether your network is based on Active Directory Services or simply an out-of-the-box peer to peer network. With the processing time saving a small grid computing solution can provide, producing reports and statistics can become near instantenous instead of taking a few minutes! This can be particularly helpful when the results are being produced for viewing on a website or being updated in realtime on an LED display panel or large LCD wallboard screen.

Software Project Management
Perhaps you already have existing bespoke software in use at your company but would like to see it redesigned, updated, bugs fixed, or have already chosen another software vendor but would like assistance from a nearer local company to capture user requirements from staff and customers, provide documented project specifications including relational database structure designs and manage the overall project to ensure it's delivered on time, to excellent quality standards and with expectations met or exceeded? We can help!
