We develop, upgrade, maintain and support web-based applications and database-driven websites.

We can help you to:

• Build new systems from scratch.
• Maintain, extend and improve existing databases, software or web applications.
• Rebuild existing software systems using modern technologies to create more reliable and flexible solutions.
• Migrate existing processes, handled on paper or by disjointed software packages, into one integrated web-based application.

• Business automation systems - improving the efficiency of your operation.

Your existing business processess may be run on a legacy system or by a combination of applications, e.g. MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access or other specific desktop packages - they may even be handled on paper.

Business automation systems can handle different aspects of your business and more often than not they will convert existing, disconnected processes into one, integrated, web-based application.  

The resulting solution can bring significant cost savings and efficiencies.

• Unique web-based products and services

Deliver your expertise, know-how, products or services online, create new revenue streams and business opportunities and improve relationships with your customers.

The viability of conducting business online is borne out by the fact that some of our clients have web-only business models.

• Information Web Sites, Portals and online communities.

What sort of features do those web sites and applications have?

It is difficult to put a particular application into one category, but the applications contain the following features:

• Resource Management: Time/expense tracking by user/activity/project.
• Time management and planning: e.g. appointment booking, staff availability roster.
• Document/Digital Assets Management: Business documents and other files used in marketing or operations need to be stored, easily accessed/searched and cross linked. Access can be organised according to client/project and staff roles. Also allows for document versioning, so that changes can be tracked and previous versions restored.
• Financial: Generating invoices and purchasing orders, tracking expenses. Calculating profit and loss for a particular project, job or client.
• Data Processing: That's what computers were designed for: to generate a desired output based on particular input data. For some applications the core functionality is delivering processed data using a proprietary process or formula.  Examples from our projects would include calculation of risk values based on questions and answers (online medical screening application or calculating parameters for web-based colour correction service for commercial printers).
• Knowledge Management and Collaboration Facilities. Allows information to be stored in a more accessible way (improved search and browsing facilities, document versioning); team work is facilitated (access rights/versioning)
• Web content management: often distinguished in its own right as a commonly used application. Whether it is just a small information site or a portal with thousands of pages and user-generated content (user accounts), a usable browser-based tool for maintaining the site by content authors can be indispensable.
• Reporting: Complex filters, saved searches, tabular and graphical output. Can be exported to popular formats such as .csv, Excel, MS Word, PDF, with special formatting for printing.
