General Project and Consulting Services

In combination with our specific areas of expertise we can offer our clients the full suite of project services, including analysis and design, implementation, support, documentation and training services to realize software projects in a quick and efficient manner.

Additionally we are able to provide additional support services, some of which are detailed below, to allow comprehensive solutions to be delivered from one hand. We work with a trusted network of suppliers to ensure that solutions which cannot be provided in-house are provided as part of the larger package.

System Analysis and Design

Analysis of the problem space, identification of core problems, identification and design of possible solutions, using our iterative processes.

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping of identified solutions, using appropriate RAD languages and tools, as well as an array of our custom libraries and ready-made components.

Both proof-of-concept as well as executable specification types of prototypes can be developed with very fast turn-around times, thereby improving the quality of the specifications prior to large investments being made.

For embedded solutions we also provide prototyping of hardware and firmware, and platform selection support.

System Development and Support

Development, maintenance and on-going support of software systems. Implementation languages include Ada, Assembly, C, C++, C#, Common Lisp and Java, as well as the usual assortment of scripting languages. Support of other languages can also be arranged for. Advice on the appropriate selection of implementation languages is available.

Performance Tuning and Refactoring

Identification of problem zones for either performance or maintainability in existing systems, generation of proposals for improvements, and implementation of said proposals.

Through our in-depth knowledge of low-level software and compilers we can provide crucial insights into performance or stability issues.

Training and Documentation

Training of programmers in Common Lisp, and advanced programming techniques, as well as initial user training for software systems developed by us.

In co-operation with our documentation specialists, we are able to deliver high-quality, user-centric documentation for processes, methods and tools in a variety of languages.

Standards Development

Support or participation in standards setting bodies, preparation and editing of standards documents, provision of reference implementations and test suites.

Secure Source and Data Repositories

We can host on our servers client-specific data repositories, accessible through HTTP and WebDAV over SSL/TLS, for secure exchange of project data between collaborators. Similarly we can host source-code repositories for all modern version control systems.

Secure Software Update Facility

We can offer a secure software update facility, that allows client initiated software updates at the touch of a button, or at regular intervals. The system is a purely client initiated and controlled, and works correctly across corporate firewalls and proxies.
