Experience matters...

Many companies that offer bespoke web development are graphic design companies who have employed a database programmer or are just out of college. This is all very well if all you want is a web site, but if you want something more complicated then come to someone with the experience that matters.

We are experienced in:

• E-business solutions
• Web application servers
• Mobile devices
• Java
• Open Source
• XML, XSLT
• SOAP
• J2EE
• JSP, Servlets
• Enterprise Java Beans
• CORBA
• Web frameworks

The list of technical items can go on and on because our experience gives us is the ability to learn quickly as we can compare and contrast new techniques to established ones.

We have:

• Created a system to manage the creation and maintenance of data warehouses.
• Built data visualisation tools for use in the oil industry.
• Created a web portal to foster communication between a multinational and a large customer.
• Designed and built a B2B marketplace.
• Created a fully configerable system to pull GIS MapInfo data sources together to produce OpenOffice.org (Microsoft Word compatible) consumer reports.

"Utilising Open Office software (OpenOffice.org), XML and XSL transformations as the basis for our reporting provides us with flexibility to respond to a variety of market needs whilst keeping licence costs low" - Tim Ulph, Operations Director, Groundsure.
