Custom Software That Means Business

How can I be confident that I'll get what I need?
We specialise in delivering measurable, tangible benefit to our customers. Here's how you can be sure you'll get a tailor-made software solution that meets the needs of your business:

• Our benefit driven approach means we focus closely on making sure our software meets your needs.
• A patient, careful analysis of your business and processes enables us to match your software solution to your business.
• Our experience in delivering solutions to a wide variety of industry and voluntary sectors means we can often not just match existing processes, but help you use your bespoke software solution to improve and streamline them.

How long will it take?
An investment in a custom line of business application needs a return fast. We'll help you start realising the benefits in a short amount of time by:

• Taking a modular approach - this means we can prioritise areas of your business that will benefit most first and deliver their solution fast
• Utilising existing platforms - we have developed a number of core business applications in-house and others are available both commercially and as "open source" projects. By using these as a starting point, we can cut the time it takes to get your application of the ground.

How much will it cost?
Cost is often perceived to be a major barrier to the purchase of a bespoke software solution. However there are a number of ways the costs of a bespoke solution can be mitigated:

• Using open-source platforms as the basis for your application - reliable database systems such as MySQL, web servers such as Apache and Content Management Systems such as WordPress and Drupal provide a foundation for a large variety of applications, with no licensing costs.
• Taking a modular approach - as noted above, this will allow you to control costs by targeting the areas of your business that will benefit most
• Minimise infrastructure costs - recent innovations, such as Cloud Computing allows businesses to take advantage of powerful systems without investing in and maintaining complex in-house physical hardware

I already have a business system, can you help me?
Yes, we have extensive experience in adapting and developing existing line of business systems from other vendors to meet current needs.
