By offering simple yet effective advice we can guide you through the various stages of a technology-related project in easy to understand terms.

Introducing technology for the first time

Introducing technology into your company for the first time can be a daunting task.

In addition there are many options when it comes to choosing which hardware and software is best suited to your requirements. We can help, by offering an objective independent assessment of your ideas and requirements, building on them and guiding you.

Updating and improving technology

If you already have technology within your organisation you have no doubt seen and experienced the advantages that properly designed and installed systems can provide. As a result you will want to continue to reap the rewards by remaining up to date and adapting your systems to accommodate both the evolution of your company and advances in technology. We can help by providing practical assessments of your current technology, identifying opportunities for improvement and helping you to achieve more with technology.

Creating a new system

Application Specification and Development

Before commencing the procurement of a new application or website it is important to develop a specification that is agreed and supported by all areas of the organization. Our consultants have extensive business experience and can work with you and your stakeholders to identify and document requirements and help you to evaluate and prioritize conflicting needs.

We have considerable experience of specifying and designing websites and on-line applications and we use a number of techniques, from user-profiling to accessibility audits, to ensure that all requirements are gathered and evaluated. Our approach will normally consider the ethnicity, literacy and special needs of the intended users to ensure that the website design is as inclusive as possible.

Having helped a number of organisations select a content management system or utilise our methodologies for CMS selection, we are well-placed to provide guidance and advice in this area.
