'Off-the-shelf'
software rarely
provides for all
the needs of
small
businesses,
which would
often benefit
from the
development
of specialised
software to meet
their
requirements
more exactly.
We have
considerable
experience in
analysing
information
flows within an
organisation and
quickly
developing
prototype
software to
improve
efficiency.
This basic
software can
then be used to
help refine the
specification
for the final
solution. We
usually find
that by
combining
products such as
Microsoft Office
with our custom
software
provides the
best value for
money for our
clients. Most
are already
using this
software, so
there are no
additional costs
involved.
We use the .NET
platform from
Microsoft as the
basis for most
new development,
and use
Access,
SQL Server and PostgreSQL
databases.
Each of
these has benefits
and drawbacks which we would
be happy to
discuss in any
consultation.
We are also
increasingly
developing web
based solutions
for our clients,
using
Django in
conjunction with
open source
databases.
Because we use
code
generation
tools, the
development time
for many
projects can be less than our
competitors.
This also
reduces the
costs involved.
