Technology

Technology inevitably plays a large part in our work, but we always aim to be utterly pragmatic in our approach.

We don't select technologies for our clients lightly - and we never recommend technology that we wouldn't use ourselves.

For us, technology is a means to an end: a way to transform organisations and empower customers and communities.

So as well as being innovative, the software we suggest must be fast, robust and very easy to use.

Using a CMS is bound to raise operational and ‘people’ issues.

But our extensive experience of deploying content-managed websites ensures we are able to support our clients as they adapt to a new way of working.

As well as providing off-the-shelf software, we have vast experience of developing bespoke web tools that use sophisticated workflow to manage business processes.

We use techniques like user-centred design to ensure that our bespoke software development is always usable, accessible, secure and robust.

Our partnerships with Microsoft, Oracle and Ektron mean that our clients have both access to 'best of breed' technologies and the expertise to ensure that their software projects deliver.

And our work with open source software (based around PHP and Java) ensures that clients who prefer non-proprietary solutions are equally well served.
