Projects
 
Some of our recent projects:
Here are some examples of projects we have undertaken. This just an illustration of the range of our work. We are always ready for new challenges.
Development of XML-based tools for website development. This project, for a big multinational corporation, was for the development of high-productivity tools that can generate pages to conform to the corporate style standards. The tools are now used for several of their sites and are being evaluated for use worldwide. We managed the development, provided technical leadership and contributed to the development work.
Project management for the development of extranet sites. The sites were B2B e-commerce sites for use by partners of our hightech client. The sites used sophisticated personalisation techniques to tailor the content to the profile of each visitor to the site. We managed the whole project, contributed to the technical development work and developed much of the site content.
Rollout of software infrastucture components. Our client was standardising on new software for business intelligence and information management in all its European operations. We were responsible for setting up distribution, training, and support functions and for managing the changeover. It was achieved without any disruptions to normal working.
Consultancy on datamart strategy and implementation. We were asked to provide stategic guidance on the partitioning of business intelligence information between a central data warehouse and autonomous datamarts across Europe. We also defined the hardware and software platforms to be used by the datamarts and set up processes for the co-ordination of developments and expertise between the datamart development departments.
Virtual reality software development. The project was for the development of tools for virtual reality applications on PCs, using virtual worlds to represent information in the computer. We set up the project and managed it right the way through.
Consultancy on software infrastructure. Several large corporate clients have asked for advice on hardware and software infrastucture. We can analyse requirements, evaluate alternative approaches, make recommendations and negotiate purchases and license terms.
Software distribution. Our client was a large PC software vendor who asked us for help in setting up distribution arrangements in Japan. We identified possible partners, negotiated terms and arranged for the localisation of products.
Database marketing. The UK operation of one of the biggest RDBMS vendors asked us for help setting up and running marketing programs. We acted as their marketing department, contributing to a period of spectacular growth.
Defence project management. We were responsible for the project management and technical design of a realtime system for the capture and validation of satellite imaging information.
