Corporate Technical Services from Tender Soft

We are experienced in servicing the needs of the larger corporatate sector, and can undertake on-site contract work (offering the key skills listed below). Or, on a smaller scale, we are also able to make any technical work you require - such as simple scripting tasks for your intranet site - straightforward and painless:

Smaller Projects

We welcome any project of any size from smaller businesses or devolved institutions such as university departments. Need specialist work that your over-stretched central support services cannot prioritize highly enough? Simple stuff like web reply forms, surveys, redirects won't take long or cost much. Server-side data processing and client-side JavaScript all empower your visitors' web experience and add value to your site. We can create/ install your scripts, and customize them to ensure that they are doing exactly what you need.

And don't forget the value of Windows desktop programs - perhaps interacting with a local or central database - in increasing your productivity. Remember, if you commission  a Windows application from us - at a price starting under £100 / $200 - you also get the deployment rights. A thousand - or a million! - copies for your employees, customers, students, etc. No problem, and little (if any) extra cost!

Our limit to build is determined only by your limit to specify your needs. Why not explore this potential, at no risk or obligation? Please feel welcome to contact us for a chat.
