Vertical Application Development

If you are looking to build a software that functions specifically for your industry, then you are looking for a vertical application, and you have come to the right place. We have over two decades of experience in custom software development and Information Technology. On top of that, we constantly keep abreast of the latest industry and technology trends to ensure our solutions are practical and up-to-date. Together, we have developed a considerable amount of knowledge and research skills in vertical application development. Our philosophy has always been that every business is unique in its own way and there is no one application is developed for every business.

When it comes to application design, simplicity, effectiveness and integrity are among our priorities. We take all business applications very seriously because to us they are mission-critical. That means, your business cannot afford the slightest delay in performance when there is a software hiccup. So, not only we will study the processes in your organization to pinpoint your business needs and risks, we will also analyze your existing software system and redesign it for optimized performance. Of course, we will always make sure your specific requirements are met.

We specialize in development for OSX and iOS platforms. But if you are looking to build a Solaris or Linux application, yes we can do it too. We are also capable to port legacy COBOL code to modern platforms as well as transforming your legacy applications into cloud-based applications.

We focus mainly in healthcare, manufacturing and retail industries, but also keep ourselves open to the opportunities to develop for other industries.

Cloud Application Development

Has IT cost been a burden to your business? Are you looking for ways to cut down the capital and operating costs of your IT infrastructure? Why not consider moving your applications to the cloud? Cloud applications have gained much popularity among businesses in recent years, mainly because of the significant IT costs it helps to save.

Imagine that you can actually run all your business applications without needing a single server at your workplace. All your applications and data are hosted at a remote server across the Internet. You only need to pay for what you use. More, there is no need to install software on every user's PC. You can easily access your application and data via an Internet browser. In other words, you can do your work on any platform (with an Internet browser of course), and access your data from any corner of the world. Once you go cloud, deployment will be just a breeze — you can easily scale your application on demand.

Cloud application development is the area where we combine our knowledge and skills in software development, web development and Information Technology. We are able to provide you a comprehensive solution that includes design, development, deployment, maintenance and hosting. If you prefer to host your own applications for full control of your data security, we can also set up an on-premise private cloud for you.

Web Design & Development

Everyone wants their website to be as impressive as possible, but what makes an impressive website? Many people, including web designers, are obsessed about adding striking visual elements on their website in attempt to capture visitor's attention at first sight. But often, they miss the most important element: the content. Without content, a beautifully designed website is nothing more than a decoration, it defeats the purpose of having an online presence.

Web design and development is relatively new among our services, but that does not mean we are not capable of making a good website. We have more-than-basic skills in HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript, and we are constantly expanding our knowledge of web technologies. When it comes to design, we stick to one solid principle: content is king. We strongly believe that ultimately it is the content that will keep the visitors coming back, so we emphasize on the originality and quality of content very much. Our strengths lie in content creation and our keen attention to detail and accuracy. Do we miss the look-and-feel? No, the fact that we are obsessed with details make us a big fan of clean design. We care about the look and feel so much that we make sure every single element of our design is pixel-perfect.

And the bonuses? We can write copy, in both English and Chinese. We can write full-text articles too, provided that they are not some rocket science topics. And we can draw — we mean 2D illustrations with up to medium complexity. If there is a demand, we can also provide logo design and photography as part of our web package.

IT Infrastructure Convergence

Most small businesses lack a strategic plan for their IT infrastructure, which usually leads to messy, problematic situations as business grows. You probably already know that data explosion is inevitable in a growing business. As the volume of information spikes up, more IT resources such as CPU power, memory and diskspace are consumed. When it eventually comes to the need for system upgrade, most companies would choose to add new server and storage while maintaining their legacy system. The solution seems simple, after all the computing devices and storage have become much affordable nowadays. But what is often overlooked, is that these ad-hoc add-ons will ultimately take up a significant amount of floorspace and power to operate. And because they are typically set up to run on single application, the solution ends up very uneconomic.

Data storage, if abused, can be very counter-productive. For instance, small businesses usually prefer cheap portable storage devices over relatively expensive network-attached storage. Whenever the computers or servers run out of disk space, they will be supplemented by new portable storage device. Soon, data is stored all over the company on different devices handled by different employees. Searching a file is always time-consuming and can involve many parties — a maddening process indeed. Many files are duplicated on different devices because another employee could not find the file and decided to start creating it all over again. All these hiccups, collectively, can hurt the company's performance.

Do the aforementioned issues sound familiar to you? Have you been frustrated with your IT infrastructure? Contact us today for a consultation. We can help you to consolidate your servers, data storage and networking into a single framework, and eliminate redundant, underutilized hardware. We can also integrate automated backup and uninterrupted power management into your system to handle system failure risks. Our approach will ensure scalability for your business's future growth.

Talk & Workshop

Yes, we can speak too! We have experience conducting talks and workshops in both academic and corporate environments. We really love to be able to share our knowledge and experience with people who like to learn.

Our presented topics mainly surround software development process and Ada programming language, which we consider the pillars of our software development work. Our long-standing practice of Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP) in various projects has given us a unique insight into how we can produce quality software with improved productivity. And we always look to share our insights with wider community.

We have been advocating the use of Ada programming language since our inception, but we keep our advocacy neutral. We do not tell people why Ada is better (we are not into language war); we tell people the virtues of Ada, as an experienced Ada programmer. So if you are looking for an in-depth introduction to the programming language, we would love to present.
