Software Development

Eirtight has developed a quality ten-step project process that offers the following life-cycle points. This process is applied to all projects that involve systems integration software, application development, engineering software and other software projects. Our Software Services team are the first point of contact to start describing a business issue or problem, and consultation with other experts will be provided as needed so that we develop an appropriate solution or software design for your organisation.

Cloud Computing
A particular strength of ours is our knowledge and experience in implementing cloud-based applications. Cloud-based software, also known as Software as a Service (SaaS), has many unique advantages over traditional software, and over the life-cycle of a product or project can save huge amounts of time and money:

Planning, architecture, development, testing and deployment costs are all significantly lower because the software is running on the server, and is accessed via a web-browser, so different operating systems and computer software on the user machine are unlikely to effect the operation of the application.
The cloud platforms, such as Microsoft Azure, provide exceptional security, reliability and performance at a tiny fraction of the cost of building the same systems in-house.
There are no distribution costs with cloud software, as it is accessed and operated over the internet
Maintenance, ongoing development and upgrades can be completed quickly and easily, as they are deployed centrally to the server, and the user has immediate access to the new features or changes.

To discuss the migration of existing software or systems to a cloud-based environment, or the development of a new cloud application or service, please contact us.
