Our business

Computer Systems and Software Designing

Our business is the design of computer systems and software. In practice that means:

  • Analysing what our users need, and designing the systems and software that meet those needs.
  • Developing software applications and testing every release.
  • Delivering them over the internet, and operating, maintaining and improving them.
  • Training and supporting the companies and individuals who use them.
  • Selling access to them by subscription or one-time purchase, online.

Our applications are software and information services. We do not provide banking, payment, money transfer, lending or investment services, and we never hold or move customer funds.
