Over the years that I have worked with Richard he has always been the consummate professional and has a wonderful knack of creating solutions that are clear, simple and easy to understand and use, no matter how complex they may appear. Richard always does an excellent job and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Technologies

Not for the faint hearted......

Languages

The choice of platform to use for our developed solutions always depends on the business needs, requirements, and technical factors. Our products are designed and developed for the Microsoft .NET 3.5, 2.0 and even the 1.1 Framework. However, this does not deter us from developing solutions on any other platforms, as frequently we have done. We have developed solutions that work on the Linux/PHP open source platform and also solutions that work on the Macromedia ColdFusion Application Server.

Database

We have a vast experience in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and 2000 and we have also developed smaller solutions using open source software such as MYSQL. By using these proven technologies we will optimize your business processes to streamline your business needs.
