Software Development

Through developing, installing and maintaining sophisticated messaging systems, Connection Software has emerged as one of the top software houses in the field of Mobile / Cell Phone Messaging and Paging.

Connection Software specializes in moving messages through electronic networks often with protocol conversion. Whilst we provide complete solutions, such as a corporate message switches we also provide systems that enable otherwise incompatible systems to interoperate.

Connection Software provides off-the-shelf and individually tailored solutions to meet clients' specific needs. We have an intimate knowledge of UNIX, Microsoft Windows, data communications, relational databases and the Internet.

Much of our work has been for large multinational corporations including Motorola, Vodafone, Reuters, Hewlett Packard and British Telecom. We also undertake short-term contracts and develop longer term relationships with specialist providers like PageOne Communications. We are a RAM Mobile Data Business Partner. Our work is international with contracts in Africa, Australia, North and South America, the Middle and Far East and Europe.

How we work

We start by either following the clear brief from the client, or we work with the client to develop an agreed brief for the project. The project is then undertaken using a well defined working methodology and always to the requirements of our in-house Quality Management System including: -

Operating to the very highest confidentiality and security standards
Having clear time and cost targets or parameters
Having regular information exchanges and progress meetings.

Our goals are that: -

The product works
It is simple, clear and easily maintained
It is on time and to budget.

We ensure, through regular progress meetings, that the client is kept fully informed and that we are kept fully in touch - the two way process.
And as a customer you will have access to your private section of our Extranet so you can report problems and download the solutions that you need.
