About Us
We offer over 3 decades of experience working with a wide range of software and hardware. From the early days of computing with Fortran and punch cards to today's latest web technology we've seen and done it all. We've led the implementation and support of systems at the national level, designed and developed enterprise class applications, and for many years provided technical leadership in database administration at the University of Victoria and also for the government of British Columbia. We have extensive experience with all aspects of the system development life-cycle.
And a proven track record.
More important than the technologies we understand, however, is the experience we have gained working in different capacities to solve different kinds of problems. We have seen what works well and what doesn't work well. Our experience means we can help you be successful and avoid expensive mistakes.
Some of our Technologies
Over the years, we have used a mind-numbing array of different technologies on numerous platforms including: zOS/MVS, zVM/CMS, AIX, Solaris, Linux, and various flavours of Windows. Database technologies include both relational and non-relational ones ranging from Oracle to more exotic and lesser known ones such as Adabas and System 2000. System architectures that we've designed, developed and maintained include mainframe-centric, classic client/server, and 3-tiered/web based ones. User interfaces we've worked with include graphical ones (the web of course!), mainframe 3270 terminal services, and voice-response. A summary of some of the languages, products etc. that we've worked with is at our "technologies" menu link.
Some of our Work
Examples of some large enterprise class projects we've worked on include: registration system design and development, mainframe to unix migration, operating system upgrades, Year 2000 readiness, database conversion, and integration of web services with legacy applications. While we have extensive experience with large projects and technologies, we are equally comfortable with and enjoy working on small projects. Programming and problem solving - big or small - are our specialities. Web sites and services are constantly evolving, and as our name suggests, we offer expertise in all aspects of web site deployment including design, development and hosting.
