We use a state-of-the-art integration platform to build your new application so that it can connect right in with your existing systems. Don’t settle for something made by stitching together a suite of separate parts. These days most businesses have multiple data sources that can be accessed to provide an enterprise-wide view of business processes or clients. By using this technology we can offer you valuable features such as adaptable workflow, dashboards, browser-based user interfaces and rules-based business processes that can be updated without rewriting the programs.

More and more business owners are realising that they need to address integration issues with new applications in order to extract maximum value from their existing IT assets. Our goal is to create a ‘team’ from your separate systems, rather than have them operate as a collection of individuals.

When investing in a custom IT solution you expect it to be able to cope with your business growth. The systems we design and build are guaranteed to be highly scalable without being re-designed. All too often businesses get caught when they find their IT solutions can’t cope with the rapid grown and need to start again from scratch.

The technology we use is deployed on more than 100,000 systems worldwide in systems ranging from 2 to 50,000 users. If you already have an application based on a common database (MS Access, Universe/Multivalue or MySQL) then we can offer you a superior redevelopment path that will allow your application to grow to levels of performance and functionality your business needs.

There is nothing more predictable than change. We acknowledge that it can sometimes be impossible to get everything right if your environment is constantly changing. Tax rates, prices and marketing can all work together to create a constantly changing situation. You might not specify absolutely everything at the beginning and developers will occasionally interpret your specification in a way you didn’t intend. And… simple mistakes can be made by anyone involved in a complex project. So we believe that on-going comprehensive support is just as important as high quality development.

We can provide a support service to suit your needs and budget that will continue to guarantee that your system meets your needs – up to 24x7x365 if needed. We grew up building software solutions in the healthcare industry (for 27 years) so we know what its like to rely on systems that must be constantly available.

Software as a Service (SAAS) has become widely available for many off-the-shelf products but not custom software development. We can now offer this flexible approach to qualified development projects. Typically you would have to finance the entire software development project up-front. We, however, have the capacity to develop your custom software project and then provide it back to you on a affordable rental basis. Rental fees are fully inclusive of on-going support and updates and can also be tailored to include additional services your might require.

Call us now to discuss your project and see if it qualifies.

We have earned our stripes building complex software systems in the healthcare industry where downtime is not allowed and mistakes simply cannot be tolerated. Whatever the challenges are in your project you can be assured that we have already dealt with, and solved similar or worse problems elsewhere.

When you are seeking a partner to develop a complex software system that your business is going to depend on we believe you should seriously consider an experienced, local team rather than the cheaper off-shore alternative. If you need a heart surgeon are you going to pick the cheapest or the best? If this software is going to be the heart of your business then the answer is obvious.

Our standard deployment practice is to provide our clients with separate servers for Production, Backup Mirror and Development. These solutions so not require the typically substantial capital investment of other technologies like clustering. The mirroring technology we use is designed to provide an economical solution for rapid, reliable, robust, automatic failover should the worst happen.

Mirroring can often be installed for half the cost of a cluster. In addition to providing a solution to unscheduled downtime, our mirroring can provide you with the opportunity to schedule planned downtime without disrupting your business. While traditional solutions might rely on a shared resource (like a shared disk) that provides a single point of failure, we provide a backup mirror of the primary system by way of logical data replication. This is an extremely flexible technology which can even include an ansync member that receives updates from multiple mirrors across the enterprise.

There is no value in an undelivered project. We have blended the best of Agile Software Development and Project Management to formulate our System Delivery Methodology.

The product development method we use is:

• Initial meetings to see if we are a good fit to work together and if we like your project.
• We will study your requirements and specifications and offer our advice and estimates.
• We prefer to break large projects down into 3 month chunks so that you get a valuable return sooner.
• Negotiate a formal agreement so we both have a clear understanding of each others roles and responsibilities.
• Establish the appropriate level of Project Management; steering committee and reporting.
• Build a Proof of Concept to demonstrate our technology as a functioning solution to your problem.
• Development the final solution with a team headed by a project manager, developers and a quality tester.
• Provide the finished solution to you for acceptance testing.
• Support and assist you commissioning the system and provide ongoing support assuring complete success.

In many cases there are good off-the-shelf software products that suit the needs of businesses. The problem is that not all businesses are the same, and business owners are now searching for new, innovative solutions to give them the edge over their competitors. Some businesses operate in a way that there is simply no generic software that suits their needs and they have to build something unique. This is where we can help you.

Drawing from our experience and our library of existing modules we can create the ideal custom solution that meets your precise needs. As specialists in custom software development projects we have built up our library of common modules with all the tweaks and options so that they can be customised to suit the widest range of situations. And don’t forget that our solutions come with the ability to connect into your other systems to operate together as an enterprise-wide system using and sharing data as needed.

While Windows Server platforms are fully supported, we don’t limit your choice. There are often specific needs that can only be met by other operating systems and hardware platforms so we offer you a wider choice:

• Apple Mac OS X for PowerPC and x86
• HP HP-UX for Itanium, PA-RISC-32, PA-RISC-64
• HP OpenVMS for Alpha, Itanium
• HP Tru64 UNIX for Alpha
• IBM AIX for System p-64, p-32
• Microsoft Windows 2000, XP Pro, Server 2003-2008
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Vista for x86-64
• RedHat Enterprise Linux AS for Itanium, x86-32, x86-64
• Sun Solaris for SPARC-64, x86-64
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Itanium, x86-32, x86-64
