Technologies, Methods and Partners
We are pragmatists and we are realists. We believe in method, but we are not ruled by it. We also believe in discipline, standards and continuity. What matters to us is the user’s requirement and the resources that are available. We believe
in taking a professional and effective approach to building solutions using
sound judgement and a great deal of experience. We consider our most important “method” is listening; we use it a lot.

When it comes down to the selection and application of technologies we think it is all about getting the approach right and the techniques correct. This means thinking first and doing second. Our work not simply a science, its an art too. The following three points are what matters:
We use: RAD; PRINCE; UML; Java, Javascript, COM; .Net; Html5; VB; C#; Sql; XML; Silverlight; TCP/IP; Web Services; and SOAP. All are important to us, but what matters is not just the toolsets we use, but the way we use them. |
