We have been using object oriented, industry proven software development methods since the early 90s. As the technology matures our engineers keep up to date so that we can provide the developer productivity and robust, quality end results that our savvy customers demand.
We live, eat and breath object oriented development since the early C++ days right up to today with Java and .Net - we don't only develop object oriented software we also have created productivity tools and provided mentoring and training in this area. We know our stuff.
Recent developments in web development frameworks and technologies mean that the improvement in quality, robustness, development efficiency and cost savings that object oriented technology brought to the software world can now be applied to the web development world. We make sure we keep up to speed with only the most efficient tools and technologies to make sure our clients get the best quality result at a price that is usually less than what our competitors charge for lower quality, expensive to maintain, solutions.
Object oriented technology enables clever software engineers and web developers to create code that is more modular, smaller and less complex than traditional methods. Less complex software means less bugs and code that is less likely to break when changes or enhancements are made. Well designed object oriented software will facilitate easy expansion to add new features and enhancements and makes it significantly easier to 'reuse' existing code rather than duplicate or write from scratch. All these benefits result in a higher quality, more robust end result for our clients and a significantly reduced total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the project.
We can draw on our library of reusable enterprise functionality modules that we have developed in house over the years which makes it possible for us to build applications for clients within a shorter time frame and at a very competitive price. Canon awarded us a contract over another company because of one of our reusable components cut the development time by about 50%. Some of the reusable components that we use to provide fast turn around on new projects are:
We can provide fixed price development for well specified applications or we can work with you to produce a detailed specification or we can work on a time and materials basis. In any case, if you choose to engage our services you will discover our attitude, professionalism and friendliness will make for an excellent working relationship into the future.
Smart, successful companies in these rapidly progressing times see software as an investment in the future of their company. They don't see software or their website as just 'something they buy'. They see it as something that helps define who they are. The quality and appearance of a website is the modern day equivalent of a big city office with shiny glass windows and your name over the entrance.
Step Ahead Software is based in Sydney, NSW, Australia and provides software and web development services to both local and international companies.
