IT that’s simple
The Bright Side of Software
When it comes to building and linking databases, designing a responsive web application, or developing a mobile app, our in-house designers and developers are here to help. We deliver fast, secure, and cost-effective software development solutions. Count on us to deliver on time and within budget.
Local company, local developers
We’re a local, Netherlands software company, helping companies with their software developments for more than 30 years. Our developers design, develop and support custom software for International and MKB clients, delivering web applications and mobile apps for iOS/Android.
Business startup
You’ve seen an opportunity and can’t wait to get your business up and running. You’re ready to invest in your website, webshop, or app and want to know the development costs. And maybe the longer-term running costs? We can answer your questions. And if you like our answers, we can design, develop, and help launch your software using our servers or the Cloud.
To get to market fast, you’ll need an Agile, flexible, and (above all) experienced partner. We can help you quickly make the most of your business idea, as we’ve done with several other startups. So why not get in touch, and see what we can do for you?
Web applications
Perhaps you’re looking for a custom web application to replace your in-house software. Or a new, responsive online web service for your clients. A skilled development partner will guide you through the many options, designing and delivering a modern, flexible web solution. And, if needed, connect your legacy databases and in-house systems.
We’ve successfully delivered many web applications and web services for International and local Dutch companies. So why not contact us today to see what’s possible? We’ll discuss your needs and provide a cost estimate or a fixed-cost development proposal. All you need to do is get in touch.
Websites
Does your company need a fresh new look for your website? Or a new website for your brand? Our design team will create great-looking websites for you using Drupal or WordPress. As a result, you save money, the site will be up and running fast, and it will be easy to update your product information.
We’ve delivered websites for several corporate brands and non-profits. We can also integrate Cloud services like AFAS and Workable and link websites to existing in-house systems using custom plugins. So why not contact us today? Let us show you what we can do. Our designers can create a Google-friendly, responsive business website and have it online in days.
Software advice
When you decide you need new software, the questions start coming. What is available off-the-shelf? How long will the development take, and how much will it cost? What do you need at launch? Can you easily extend the software later or meet increased future demands?
We can answer all these questions and, if needed, deliver development plans and cost estimates. We’ve helped many other companies, so why not get in touch today and talk to our specialists?
New app for iOS/Android
If you don’t have access to experienced in-house app developers, you’ll need help. Designing and developing an app is only a start. To get an app approved, iOS / Android developers need to be aware of the ever-changing guidelines from Apple and Google and be up-to-date with the latest development tools.
We’ve been developing apps for over 7 years using Swift, Kotlin, Java, and React. So why not get in touch and ask us for a quote?
Migrate to the Cloud
Migrating to services and servers in the Cloud means you don’t need to invest in hardware. Instead, begin with a virtual server, and scale up as your business grows.
We can help you to select and configure Cloud services from Microsoft (Azure), Amazon, and Google. After all, we’ve helped two multinationals migrate their services to the Cloud, so we’re confident we can help you too. So, why not get in touch with our experts, and find out more?
