Our aim is to understand your users' requirements and ensure that the solution provided will grow and develop with your business. To do this it is important that there is a clear and detailed project specification. This document may be provided by you, or we can work together to develop it - in either case, it is important that the final project specification is agreeable to all parties involved.

The majority of our software development is for the Microsoft Windows range of operating systems (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP). In the past we have also developed software for DOS, Unix, Windows v3.1, and OS/2. We have now extended our target platforms to include the popular Linux operating system. Our goal is to be able to develop applications that are as platform-independent as possible. Our team of software developers has experience in a wide range of languages and applications for all your software development needs. Below is a list of some of the more common languages that we use.

• C/C++
• Delphi
• Visual Basic
• Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
• IVR Scripting Languages

We also have a number of databases that we can use. Below is a list of some of the more common ones. In addition to this list, we can also work with any database for which there is an ODBC driver available.

• MS SQL Server
• Interbase
• Informix
• Paradox
• Microsoft Access
• DBase
