Web Application Development

Collaborate With All Stakeholders

With the power of the Internet making it possible for distributed office staff, field-based sales teams, installation engineers, customers and suppliers to all collaborate, the majority of the systems we develop are web applications.

We have considerable experience in each of the scenarios below:

Private Extranets

These are web applications for closed user groups where users have to supply correct unique login details before they can access any part of the system. Once logged in the system will function similar to a Windows application, but they offer significant benefits over Windows applications:

• The system can be accessed by any authorised user worldwide with Internet access.
• Users need only a web-browser to access the application, meaning that there is no software to install on each computer, and no internal servers to be managed.

Software As A Service (SAAS) Applications

These are web applications developed for use by third party organisations. They are very similar to private extranets but instead of your own organisation using the application, your customers would use it, usually for a subscription fee.

In these scenarios we develop the software and take care of all the hosting issues and subscription issues.

Rich Internet Applications

These are websites where significant parts of the website are created programmatically and the website contains small software applications that visitors can use within the website, such as pricing or design calculators etc. The use of the website may be entirely free, it may need the user to create an account to use certain functions, or require paid for subscriptions.

As well as our software development team, we employ highly talented web designers and can handle large website projects in their entirety, as well as helping you drive traffic to the website - see our Internet Marketing Services section for more details.

Hosting & Security

We offer a fully outsourced service where as well as developing the application; we take care of all hosting and security issues.

Your web application will be hosted in a large and secure data centre with the entire server being backed up every night. Because we take data security very seriously we also operate an independent daily back up of the entire web application.
