Langham Associates provide custom/bespoke software to small and medium-sized companies

We follow the accepted steps:

  • We discuss requirements;
  • Propose alternatives;
  • Design examples of what can be achieved;
  • Agree a solution with the client;
  • Design, test and implement that solution.

The solution would probably have involved:

  • installing a server on the client's premises running the database;
  • expecting the client to back up their data regularly;
  • installing software on the client's PCs;
  • training the client's staff in the use of the software.

Now, by using the internet:

  • We set up the database on the server managed by our Service Provider;
  • We organise the regular backing up of the data;
  • We make sure the client's PCs have a browser;
  • We make sure that the staff are familiar with the internet.

There are other benefits too:

  • the application can be accessed from anywhere in the world;
  • the application can be enhanced and updated without disturbing the users;
  • emailing features can be easily included.
