Overview

Know-how is the key attribute we bring to our software projects. There is no short cut to achieving a high performance team - only knowledge, experience and talented people. Our people relish the challenge of a new project and the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. Our clients value the software know-how that we bring to every project - and our single-minded focus in delivering business advantage.

Our know-how is centred on the delivery of innovative production software.

We are experts in the two leading online architectures - J2EE and Microsoft .Net - and we are leveraging our Java skills in the growing mobile and wireless applications market. The convergence of Internet and mobile applications is magnifying the complexities of distributed business processes. These developments are exposing the limitations of conventional software techniques and the pressing need for smarter software. Our 8-year strategic commitment to multi-agent systems is paying off and will underpin the next generation of business software.

An effective development environment and methodology can offer significant advantages for any project - but like any tool they only work well in the right hands. We recommend 'agile' development processes and project management, with the exception of the most tightly coupled systems integration projects. We have used several agile methodologies and understand their strengths and weaknesses. We are not evangelists - our approach is to work with our client and choose the most appropriate approach for project success.

Our senior technical team have worked with many of our clients on short and effective technical consulting assignments. We are software development practitioners and not generalist consultants. The know-how we contribute is based on hard-won experience in delivering software innovation and business solutions. Our clients value our insights into the practicalities of implementing online technologies, and the effectiveness of the tools available. Our entire consulting proposition is about delivering working software - cost effectively and quickly.
