What We Do

We can provide almost any IT service for small to medium sized charities. For some of our customers we provide an occasional troubleshooting service when their main IT contractors let them down. For other customers we provide all the services you would expect from an in-house IT department, everything from purchasing new computers to developing a charity's IT strategy ... but for a fraction of the cost!

Database Services

Broad Experience - Flexible Approach
We have years of experience developing information systems with charities and we have worked with databases on all kinds of platforms over the last 20 years, from the early MicroManager single-user system through to Microsoft's SqlServer, and are happy developing on almost any system which meets the needs of our customers.

When do we get involved?
We have the expertise to take an organisation through the whole database process, from interviewing key staff and writing an information analysis report, right through to long term support.
Sometimes we have been called in right at the end of a database's implementation, when key staff or volunteers have suddenly left. Other times we're called in just to help with the analysis and specification, after which a project is taken in-house.
But mostly we're called in when a charity realises that they have a major information problem, and we can then work with the customer - end users, Senior Managers and Trustees - to provide a comprehensive and appropriate solution to the organisational problems.
