Software Systems Design and Development
Software development, apart from Web based software, is incidental
to our main activities. A look, however, at experience in this field
should satisfy the viewer that we have expertise in software ranging
from use of high level languages to machine oriented programs such as
computer emulation.
Systems developed over many years' experience
include:
Many of these systems have been written using Microsoft
Access and Visual Basic, are fully compatible with other office applications
(such as Excel or Word) and can Include web pages.
Your organisation:
You may be part of a small to medium sized organisation and
have become accustomed to word processing and the use of spreadsheets
to create lists, sort information and do simple calculations. Your organisation
may have reached a point where it would make sense to integrate some
of the processes so that data is not duplicated. You may be unaware
of the extent to which a system created or adapted for your organisation
can save time, reduce errors, provide better and more timely information
and thus save you money.
How to make your work simpler
:Access with Visual Basic provides a means to quickly build
systems for small organisations and can be developed in conjunction
with users as their needs change. This approach can keep down the initial
cost and enable users who are not familiar with off the shelf solutions
to progress to automated secured and regulated systems for dealing with
most of their day to day requirements. The Access solutions can also
be dovetailed into other packages such as those for nominal ledger and
payroll so that the duplication of data can be minimised and overall
control maintained throughout the system. Systems which I have developed
normally have most of the documentation contained within them in the
form mainly of help and description pages, and the Visual Basic code
is structured and described in such a way as to make it maintainable
by any experienced programmer.
