Consulting
The key to any successful project is to correctly define the objectives to be met and the benefits to be achieved. We are able to work with end users, from board level to shop floor, to draw up a specification of requirements and to present the business case. Our background, as a supplier of a wide range of solutions, enables us to work with you to draw up a rigorous invitation to tender.
Technical Evaluation
Few businesses have the time to make an effective evaluation of the computer products that they purchase. We have the experience to evaluate the functional and technical qualities of software and hardware solutions. By being independent, we can ensure that our customers get the best value for their money and that solutions are based on sound technology that will stand the test of time.
Project Management
The true cost of a computer project also includes the time spent dealing with suppliers, organising communications, converting existing data, training staff and the many other related tasks that can be time consuming and frustrating. We can help with all of these.
Bespoke Programming
We work mainly with Access (2000, XP, 2003) and Visual Basic.Net. We write solutions that range from complete Order Processing systems to interfaces that take data from spreadsheets and accounts packages and turn it into Excel Pivot Tables. We write programs for stand alone PCs, Networks and for mobile devices based on Pocket PC (eg PDA's like the HP Ipaq and mobile phones). Please see the Client Projects page for examples of our work.

Office Productivity
Make your data work harder! We can improve productivity by writing -
- Macros for Word and Excel
- Populate Word templates with external data (ie customer name & address) by using Custom Properties
- Creating Office Smart Tags
- Custom Outlook forms and automatically populating Exchange public folders from application data - ie Contact lists
- Access data bases that integrate to Act and Sage - for example display all Sage open Sales and Purchase orders for an item in a time phased plan so that you can see future availability at a glance.
- Use calls to Microsoft Mappoint to automatically calculate drive time and distance.
- Bespoke reports from data held in other applications - we can often extend your investment in application software by linking it to additional data and functions.
