Software Development
We develop software primarily for the Microsoft Windows environment utilising the .Net framework. This is a rich, fully featured framework and well suited to enterprise applications.
There are now two distinct technologies for developing Windows desktop applications: the traditional Windows Forms applications which have been around for the past two decades. Microsoft has recently introduced a new technology, Windows Presentation Framework. Both of these technologies have their place and we can advise you on which will best suit your business needs.
Web applications are fast becoming very popular and the distinction between desktop and web applications is fast disappearing. We can advise you on the type of application that will best suit your business needs.
Database Design
Choosing the right database for your business application is very important. There are a number of different types of databases, with the relational database being the most popular for enterprise solutions.
But there others. Flat file databases still have a place. Hierarchical databases were once popular in some mainframe systems, and they have undergone a resurgence in recent years for certain types of data. Object databases have been around in one form or another for many years but have never really caught on in mainstream business applications. But nonetheless, for the right application they are a perfect fit.
Once you have decided on the type of database you then need to choose which one you will use. We can offer advice on the most suitable database to meet your needs.
Website Development
Websites have changed dramatically over the past few years. No longer are they pages of HTML served up as static pages. For a number of years now most websites are dynamic, with content held in a database. Web applications are replacing desktop applications for many businesses.
We build static or dynamic websites. We can advise you on content management systems and put together a website that will present your business to the community.
Or we can build you a website application that will enable you to use the software from anywhere in the world.
