Custom Application Development
After our products, Badger Software's core business has always been the design, development and delivery of custom
applications for a wide range of private and public sector clients. This covers
the full development lifecycle, from initial requirements analysis through
functional specification, architecture and design, application development,
testing and implementation. Our focus is on the solution, and we will always
recommend the technology which best fits the problem and budget. Our consultants
are technically skilled, but also have real-world business experience.
We provide both browser based and “smart client” solutions, typically developed
using Microsoft .NET technologies. See our clients page for information on
some of our previous projects.
Outstanding Support and Customer Care
We believe that even the World's largest enterprises need personalised attention when it comes
to misson critical systems. Central to our approach is the importance of ongoing support.
Most of our clients
take out long term Service Level Agreements with Badger Software because of our dedication to support,
maintain and enhance the software we supply. Our team work with customers on an ongoing basis to
evaluate their changing needs and to make sure their business receives unparalleled support.
Not only is our team there to help with our customers' ongoing needs, but we
also listen to their needs for the future, and try to understand the business
well enough to pro-actively find ways of doing things better. Some of our most
valuable product suggestions come from the daily interaction between our team
and our clients. We always strive to improve and make the best of new
technologies and the ongoing exchange of ideas with our marketplace is what
ensures we remain at the leading edge.

Cloud based or Hosted Solutions - Software as a Service (SAAS)
Cloud computing and hosted services are a huge topic currently. However there are a bewildering amount of services being provided from everyone from Google and Microsoft to new startups. The question everyone wants to know is “Is hosting right for me?” and of course “What is cloud computing and/or hosting exactly?”
Many organisations prefer to have control and maintain their own security around mission critical systems and data access. Others prefer to simply by software as a service and let an expert deal with the detail of how it is delivered. Badger Software believe that the pros and cons should be analysed for each individual client.
We dont profess to run our own hosting and value our independance. We use only the best, market leaders who provide hosting for blue chip companies and governments.
This allows us to give impartial advice and be free from contraints so that we can ensure that we put together the best package for each customer. But dont worry - if you dont want to know the detail, we will make all of the arrangements and you can relax in the knowledge that we have researched thoroughly and will ensure that the service levels you require are fulfulled.
What is right for you requires careful analysis taking into account factors such as your current IT lifecycle, technology requirements, culture, risk and infrastructure, such as communications links.
Because we retain our independance, we can work with your provider or select our own based on the best fit for the customer requirements.
Business Analysis and Database Design
Our main development platform for database development is Microsoft SQL Server.
We have many years of experience with database design, which means that we know
how to fine-tune the design to ensure optimum performance. We can also assist
you with migration of data from other application platforms.
Information Worker Portals
Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Server both provide efficient,
cost-effective ways to share information across both ad-hoc workgroups and the
entire enterprise. Badger Software can help you to make best use of these
products, allowing your employees to work more efficiently on shared documents
and data, and providing a single access point for organisation-wide information.
Providing corporate information and data through a single “portal” view also
lends itself well to reporting and analysis data, as it gives information
workers and executives a single access point for performance data, typically in
“dashboard” format with the option to drill down to detail data. We provide our
own generic portal which can leveredge this information for your entire
organisation in a fast, easy to use and cost effective fashion. Contact us for more information.
Mobile Applications
We have been a member of the Microsoft "Mobile Solutions
Partner" programme since very early on and are using the .NET Compact Framework and Mobile Internet
Toolkit to develop applications which run on PocketPC and Windows CE devices and
communicate with application and database servers over wireless connections.
Badger Software developed Figleaves’ Global Logistics Management software using
Casio IT-500 CE.Net devices for many of the warehouse tasks such as inventory
management and order picking. Click here for more information on this project.
Business Intelligence Solutions
Companies often have access to lots of data generated by their core business
systems, but cannot easily turn this data into information. We can help you
unlock this data using the Analysis Services and Reporting Services of Microsoft
SQL Server.
Many users of every-day tools such as Microsoft Excel are unaware of the
extra analytical power available once they create Pivot Tables and Charts
connected to data stored in SQL Server Analysis Services cubes. Badger Software
can provide consultancy and implementation services for your reporting analysis
needs, including extracting and transforming data from other systems,
development of client solutions, and best-practice advice on deploying the
application.
Developer Resources and Mentoring
If your organisation is experiencing a developer resource bottleneck, we can
provide skilled Microsoft .Net or SQL Server developers to get your project back
on track. Alternatively, you make be using these technologies in your
organisation for the first time, and could benefit from our experience to
provide your development team with “best practice” advice. Get in touch and we
can tell you how we can help you deliver your project on time and on budget.
