   Project Management
project management Rather than adopting a rigid process driven standard we prefer to tailor the handling of each project to get the greatest benefit for the customer for the least cost. Our approach to project management is driven by the culture of the individual customer, the nature of the project, the key business drivers and constraints, and the team competencies.
  • We expain the nature and purpose of all key phases during the project and provide regular updates and documentation.
  • We work and plan proactively with our customers to define responsibilities, identify risks and avoid overruns.
  • We recognise the need for resource once the system has gone live.
  • Our user acceptance testing procedures are robust and fine tuned ensuring a final product that lives up to expectations.
If you require the solid assurance of professional project management for your IT project please speak to us about our capabilities in this area. Where appropriate we offer Prince2 project planning for your total peace of mind.

   Application Development
application development All application development is currently handled in-house ensuring customer satisfaction and top quality solutions. Our rates for application development compare very well with much larger consultancies offering solutions of a similar calibre.

Being a company reliant on our professional reputation we tend to take on smaller application development projects matching our current technical skills. Our current key competencies are in PHP, mySQL, .NET, SQL Server, Microsoft Office and VBA.

A typical application development project has key phases such as requirements gathering, build, test, deploy and support. During the project we provide documentation including a Functional Specification, Test Script, Technical Specification and User Guide. We work with our customers to define responsibilities, identify risks, avoid overruns by building in contingency and recognise the need for extra resource once the system has gone live. Our user acceptance testing procedures are robust and fine tuned ensuring a final product that lives up to expectations.

We're so confident of the quality of our products we offer a free technical support and incident resolution service for a full 6 months from the system live date. No questions asked.

   Testing Services
testing Let's face facts, to most talented developers and creative designers doing their testing isn't as stimulating or exciting as trying out a new cutting edge technology or adding some cool gadget to their customer's web project. As a result testing tends to be overlooked, under-resourced or badly planned. Unfortunately this approach can undermine crucial end-user confidence in your website from day 1. Even when things are put right the damage done takes a long while to rectify.

Separation of duty is the key to quality. Our approach is to work in partnership with the customer and software supplier to raise the quality threshold before the crucial live date. We love finding bugs and glitches in websites and have rigorous processes in place for recording incidents ensuring clarity for all parties.

We test websites and web applications against all common browsers on the Windows and Mac operating systems. Our virtualisation technology enables us to test against multiple versions of Windows concurrently – even future versions of Windows can be tested!
