Differentiate your business by developing software systems designed specifically for your scenarios. You can highlight these advances to your Clients as a differentiating factor. It shows that you're ahead of the pack and have well performing internal systems to meet your Client's needs. We achieved this very thing with Insight Mercantile in the Debt Collection Industry.
Insight were using a Microsoft Access based debt collection based management system. It was based on older technology and was having database integrity issues. This severely limited Insight's ability to expand at the time. Together we worked on developing the Iris Debt Collection Management System which resolved many operational issues but also showed Insight's major Clients that they are different to their competitors and are willing to build advanced internal systems to meet their Client's needs.

Large Software projects have a long dismal history of failures and many developers have experienced a "death march" project or two during their careers. We have had experience pulling software projects out of the fire and getting them back on track. Its a very difficult proposition and can be politically tough to achieve, but it can be done. We can bring a fresh perspective to your problem project tinged with an understanding that expectations of what developers can practically achieve can easily become unrealistic.

We are all about developing and maintaining software products at Torq Software. This means we plan and work for the long term and don't act like a body shop that disappear as soon as the initial development work has been completed. We take this same approach when working on any software development project. Our design and thought processes include allowances for both short term goals and the reality of maintaining software for the long term. So if you have a need to augment your software development resources for your own projects give us a call.
