Software Development Services
Whatever IT solution your business needs, Arepo provides a complete range of software development services from initial consultancy and system development through to installation, training and support.
Many of the solutions we deliver combine an online database with back office processes and public-facing web sites.
With a proven track record delivering bespoke database systems and web applications, Arepo’s service is a means of building tailor-made solutions on time and within budget, using tried and tested rapid application development techniques.
So, if your business needs a software application which combines the savings of an off-the-shelf product with the flexibility of a bespoke solution, please get in touch with Arepo or call us on 020 7280 4390.
Online Databases
Online databases can provide many benefits to your business compared to the ongoing use of spreadsheets and local database applications.
Some of these benefits include:
- Easy to access using standard internet browsers on any operating system
- No extra software is required: users simply navigate to the web-site and begin using the system
- Scalability: browser based solutions are multi-user and can be easily aligned to mirror changing business requirements
- Accessibility: you define who has access to different parts of the system
- Security: if required, access to the web-site can be locked down to specific offices or home workers
- Flexible Location: the hosting of the application can be located in any office or data centre, or outsourced to us
- Data centralisation: improves access to your data and disaster recovery processes
Get in touch with Arepo to find out how on-line access to your data could help your business.
Bespoke Software Solutions
Bespoke software and database solutions have often been seen as costly and time consuming to develop. As a result, clients sometimes compromise their requirements with an off-the-shelf software package.
Arepo’s rapid application development platform bridges the gap between bespoke development and off-the-shelf software products, providing supportable and affordable solutions for your business.
Some of the major benefits of these solutions are:
- It is often possible to provide a completed browser-based solution in days or weeks rather than months
- The user interface is much more stable having already been tried and tested
- Greater emphasis can be placed on database design providing a solid foundation for your system
- The interface is more powerful, benefiting from all the existing features of the Arepo Platform
- It is easier to modify the system to keep pace with changes in your business requirements
For an informal discussion about using the Arepo Platform to address your bespoke development needs please get in touch or call 020 7280 4390.
Legacy Systems
Our suite of Rapid Application Development tools and processes allow us to efficiently create web-based user interfaces to improve existing operational or legacy database applications. The resulting integrated system performs as a completely new application at a fraction of the cost of a replacement system whilst retaining, and often improving, business processes.
The type of technical problems people are likely to experience with legacy data and applications are:
- Data quality challenges
- Database design problems
- Data architecture changes
- Process-related issues
- Inability to evolve in line with business needs
Arepo’s expertise can help you to develop a replacement solution incorporating all data from your existing system, whilst minimising operational downtime as our development is completed alongside the current application. Working with you, we can often suggest and deliver improvements and changes that have probably been long overdue in your existing legacy system.
Integrated Content Management
Whilst many of our client’s database applications focus on back office database functionality required by the core business, some of our client’s databases incorporate a separate public website, or public web pages which are delivered by their existing database application. Whichever solution is required, we can build a Content Management module into your application to enable you to create/customise your public website.
In addition, we have often had occasion to include other related CMS functions, such as:
- Providing the ability to publish live content updates (e.g. recent news items)
- Automated e-mailing and postal mail shots
These types of CMS functions can be provided either as a separate module, or fully integrated into the existing application, depending upon who is responsible for the content and/or marketing.
