About Us

We've been around longer than most

Since 1997, we have been doing high-end Lotus Notes/Domino application development and admin support. In the 2000's we have put a lot of focus on web applications and web sites using the latest web technology like using web standards.

We are small - isn't that a relief?

Small companies answer their phones with a HUMAN BEING. Remember the last time you called your phone company or cable company? Enjoy listening to music and being told how important you are to them? Makes you realize dealing with a small company can be a real blessing.

User Interface is IMPORTANT!

We have heard it said that "the interface is the application" as far as the user is concerned. We believe this wholeheartedly. While user interface isn't the only thing, it's critically important to make an application easy to use. Applications that are nice looking are frankly more fun to use than an ugly application with a bunch of complex screens.

Lotus Notes has a bad reputation in the market (in our humble opinion) for 2 reasons: (1) The mail interface was lackluster until version 8 and (2) The applications that developers have created and even the templates that IBM has included with the Notes install are ugly and hard to use.

Our approach is to make applications that are beautiful, both inside and out. The programming code that we write is well commented and well written. We make use of Object Oriented programming where it makes sense which makes the code modular and re-usable. The interfaces are simple and understandable and beautiful (using a small number of colors and easy on the eyes).
