Using technology provided by our partners, we are able
to design, develop and implement custom application software solutions that meet
and often exceed the requirements of our customers.
Our principle area of expertise
is the development of web applications using the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft
SQL Server.
Microsoft describes these technologies as follows:
Microsoft .NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems,
and devices through software. Integrated across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage,
and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems more
rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise of information anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Microsoft SQL Server is a comprehensive, integrated data management
and analysis software that enables organizations to reliably manage mission-critical information and confidently run today’s increasingly complex
business applications. SQL Server allows companies to gain greater insight from their business information and achieve faster results for a competitive advantage.
Application Development Activities
Our application development service provides leadership through the full life cycle of your software development programme. A typical project would
encompass the following activities:
- Business Requirements Analysis
- Technical Specification
- Functional Specification
- Design and Architecture
- Usability study
- Prototyping
- Programming
- Testing Management
- Application Implementation
- Handover and Training
- Documentation
- Support
- Project Management
Business Application Experience
Those activities and technologies are prevalent in many of the projects that we have developed
for our customers. We have produced what we would call "line of business" applications in the
following areas:
- Web Content Management
- Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting
- Management Information Systems
- Gap Analysis, Process Control and Communication
- Production Planning and Control
- Lessons Learned and Knowledge Sharing
- Incident Reporting and Management
- Health and Safety Compliance
- Occupational Health Interactive Assessements
- Offline Collaboration Tools
Application Support
All applications require support. Our standard approach is to analyse the requirements
for an individual application and to recommend the level of support required, crystallising
the agreement in a formal Service Level Agreement (SLA).
In addition to providing a helpdesk,
our flexible SLA's can be used to provide advice and consultation to users and application
owners and to discuss performance and potential ehancements to the applications we support.
