Here are a few of our recent projects. See Rob Kent's CV for more details.

Lloyds TSB
|
We designed and developed a new web framework for the Credit and Collections team
which acts as the backbone for all their new web applications. The framework we
delivered encompasses security, data persistence, logging, auditing, and MVC UI
utilities. We then wrote four web applications based on the framework, working with
Lloyds in-house developers. As part of the handover, we wrote and delivered a training
course for their developers, explaining the theory and usage of TDD, ORM, IOC,
and MVC.

Reed Business Information
|
Reed were integrating their Request For Quotation web site, KellySearch, with their
back-office CRM software, SalesForce. We wrote them a messaging hub (using .NET
3.5 and WCF) that allowed two-way communication between the two systems. They did
not want to use an Enterprise Service Bus so we wrote an asynchronous, multi-threaded
WCF service with custom mappers between the three domains.

QSoft Consulting
|
QSoft Consulting run the globally successful media brand Gaydar. They wanted a single
pricing and payments system for all of their web sites and radio station. We wrote
them a sophisticated pricing engine and a plug-and-play payment provider that allows
them to create country- and currency-specific pricing for different regions while
taking payments through various payment gateways according to an admin-specified
schedule.

BidRoute
|
In 2007 we developed the BidRoute web application, a high-performance price-discovery
auction site for portfolio trades. This was a joint project with Rapid Addition, who developed the database and business
layer. (Note that although successfully launched and well-received by the financial
industry, it appears that BidRoute were a victim of the 'credit crunch'.)

FDM Group
|
In 2006 we helped FDM develop BrandIQ,
a web-based media intelligence system.
|
|
Cofunds
|
In 2006 we worked with Cofunds' in-house developers, migrating their online pension
selling to the web.

Kroll
|
In 2005 we developed the Business Intelligence reporting system for Kroll's background
screening product EVS.
