3 PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED The successful development of your business software demands both technical skill and a thorough understanding of your needs. We have developed an innovative in-house tool, M#, that enables us to deliver your project to an exceptionally high quality. We also take particular care to understand and fulfil your expectations. more than 100 successful software projects M# The relationships we build, as well as our technical excellence, have enabled us to deliver more than 100 successful software projects, from CMS websites to sophisticated financial reconciliation systems. Mature technical architecture Although programming is important for producing maintainable software, what is more vital to the long term flexibility and sustainability of your software system is the architectural design of the solution. Our technical architects combine the industry s best practices with many years of experience to design each client solution with an architecture that stands the test of time. Top notch coding standards Source code is the lifeblood of every software project. The quality of a solution comes directly from the clarity, robustness and maintainability of the source code. At Geeks, our standards are based on Microsoft s guidelines and also on our own many years of programming experience. In addition, the quality of the code produced by M# is significantly higher than manual coding. Based on industry standards, with robust patterns, it is consistent and complete and comes with full documentation. We use M# for about 90% of the code for our projects. Test driven development Through the Test Driven Development technique a developer writes a separate programme alongside your main application. The role of this programme is to challenge and verify every aspect of your main application in order to ensure that it functions as expected. At Geeks, we use this technique to produce highly maintainable and reliable software. GEEKS LTD 66a London Road, Morden, Greater London, SM4 5BE /

5 COST EFFECTIVENESS M# has enabled us to deliver your projects in considerably less time (read budget). It makes it fast and smart to implement software. By automating 90% of our code it revolutionises the development process and cuts costs without compromising quality. The time spent by professionals accounts for almost all the cost of a software development project. Because we complete projects significantly faster than our competitors, your costs are correspondingly lower. In fact, our technology allows us to work within budgets that are comparable to offshore prices whilst providing our clients with a personalised UK-based service. Low maintenance costs In the life cycle of a software product, maintainability is the most important element that dictates overall cost. At Geeks we have an obsessive focus on the maintainability of the systems that we design and deliver. By producing software code of exceptional quality we minimise your long-term costs. Less business risk The speed advantages of M# and our guaranteed fulfillment can reduce the time it takes you to launch new products and services. Where a project is integral to business continuity, robustness and reliability become even more important. The quality of M# makes a huge difference in reducing risk. Where flexibility is critical then the speed of M# enables fast, easy modifications. Your own intellectual property Some development companies have a framework or library of components that they use to deliver client projects more quickly. The problem with this is that ownership of such components is never assigned to the client, who is then dependent on the developer. With M#, you own the whole solution. There is no dependency on Geeks for maintenance, future development or the potential transfer of application ownership and rights. GEEKS LTD 66a London Road, Morden, Greater London, SM4 5BE /

We can save you from making costly and time-consuming mistakes. Working with accuracy, we focus on getting it right the first time.

This means that we can give you the functionality and features that really matter to you.

Through customised databases and integrated software, we can help you create clear business workflows so that each piece of information is added once and shared by all.
