Custom Software Development

 In many cases, custom software development is a faster, more conscious choice than buying off-the-shelf products and in the long term it is even less costly. In addition to these advantages there are neither functional limitations nor subsequent licence fees.

The most important step when developing suitable custom software is the perfect understanding of business needs and finding the best technologies. Quick advances in technology can be helpful; adequate experience and planning can lead to a solution that perfectly meets business needs. Our company and our team knowing the specifics of several industries are able to meet the challenges, thus ensuring business success.

During software development we apply internationally recognized methodologies, increasingly agile methodologies that are characterized by flexibility (e.g. Scrum). Our development team has outstanding experience in complex projects where Java and .Net technologies have been applied. Click here for the detailed list of technologies we are proficient in.

Data Quality and Data Cleansing

 With the emergence of analytical solutions, more and more companies are becoming aware of the importance of managing their data as an asset. At the same time they are faced with the problem of having insufficient or inaccurate data. This hinders both the optimal exploitation of the data asset and the implementation of analytical solutions that support the business. Another issue can be the significant latent cost of activities incurred by inaccurate data - even if it does not show up in the budget reports. Such activities include the acquisition of missing information or the correction of inaccurate or insufficient data, dealing with consequences of business decisions made based on incorrect data and activities that are focusing on problems related to customer satisfaction.

Our company was the first to detect this issue in 1999 and to invest in a thorough and complex solution that contains the following:

• The detection and assessment of data quality issues
• Shaping up data handling strategies, regulations
• The automatic correction of existing data and the automatic supplement for missing data
• Real-time data cleansing during data recording or modification, thus solving data quality problems for a long term

The outstanding advantage of our solution is that it contains a proprietary data cleansing tool and algorithms developed with an experience of more than 20 years as well as innovative, unique data validation solutions. We focus on real customer value during our projects, so our goal is not only to achieve adequate data quality but also to support our customers in finding quantifiable benefits.

• Performing manual and automated tests

We express our guarantee by keeping to and performing the above written tasks in order to ensure that the software has been tested adequately and this can lead to successful projects and customer satisfaction.

Data Warehouse and BI Solutions

 Our company is the pioneer in business data mining projects in Hungary. We were the first to recognize the importance of the business use of data mining methods and have implemented successful projects in the telecommunications, banking and insurance sectors, the pharmaceutical market, healthcare, logistics and commerce.

With the help of our business data mining and data analytics solutions, you can turn your current untapped data assets into real business value, giving you answers to questions such as:

• Who are your customers, what are their characteristics and can they be segmented?
  Which customers will leave you in the near future and why?
  Which products can be offered in a package?
  Are there any signs of abuse in your database?
  How do you decide if a signer will put their own signature on a document?

 The principles of gradual approach and agile development also apply to our data warehousing, business intelligence and analytical projects. The phased planning and implementation will bring real business results a few months after the start of the project, providing a good basis for implementing the next phases. In many cases, the distance between IT and business can be reduced by developing self-service BI solutions that can flexibly serve the rapidly changing needs of business.
