Online Applications
Adopting the latest in tech to grow your business?
What is an online application?
Essentially is it an application that is hosted in the cloud and can therefore be accessed from anywhere at any time. This is really important in today's business environment where people are often working remotely. An online application can act as your "Central Point of Truth", enabling you to leave behind the nightmare of emailing spreadsheets, diary information or updates behind. Now you can know that everyone has the latest information and they can stop phoning you to ask you what you have already sent in an email.
Key Considerations
- Are you storing your data securely?
- Are you compliant with privacy laws, e.g. GDPR?
- Is the application using a robust framework to manage access to the data?
- How responsive are the software developers to your requirements?
- Can you trust the developers to deliver the best advice?
Blockchain
What is Blockchain?
It is a decentralised system where data is shared accross thousands of nodes (you can think of these as computers). The blocks of data are connected together in an encrypted chain with a system of verfication known as "Proof of Work", "Proof of Stake" or "Proof of History" to prevent hackers changing the data.
Bitcoin is the Cryptocurrency and the first blockchain. Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym of the unknown person or group of people that created Bitcoin. Since then many blockchains have been created. We specialise in development on Ethereum and layer 2 blockchains to harness the functionality of Smart Contracts.

Bespoke Development
There are many off the peg solutions available for various tasks but "one size fits all" may not be the answer for applications that are specific to your business.
Your business is unique, you have your own processes and you demand delivery of a certain quality in your products or services; this is hard to do if the software wasn't built specifically for your requirements.
Businesses need to flex and move with the times and there is no time like the present to automate some of those time consuming processes and free up some time for your staff to do more.

SaaS
What is Software as a Service?
This replaces the old model of developing an app which sold as a physical copy that can be installed directly onto a server or workstation. The software is designed to have multiple clients and to provide functionality to the client anytime anywhere. The great thing about SaaS is
- Updates and bug fixes can be rolled out to everyone or sections of your customers in one deployment
- Payment is subscription based so you don't need to convince clients to buy the latest version
- Increased scalability
- Increased reach
APIs
What are Application Programming Interfaces?
An API is how you allow other programmes to interact with your software. The API can be for your internal applications to talk to each other or you can create a public API accessible via the internet or you can create any level of privacy in between. An API is an excellent way to make applications in different programming languages to talk to each other. APIs allow you to:
- Remove repetitive importing and exporting tasks
- Remove manual data entry
- Allow customers or partners to interact with your business
