HMW Provides...

a wide range of  consultancy services and software products.

Consultancy

Our clients have ranged from small new business start-ups, to schools and established large multi-national corporations. Our team can supply expertise in a range of fields related to all phases of Systems Design, Development and Implementation.

• project management
• workshop facilitation
• systems design and development
• change control
• system testers

We specialise in Agile Development, but we are equally at ease either where solutions must be developed through user participation or by traditional pre-specification methods.

Support

We provide a 24 hour, 7 days a week support service, initially established for our own product support on demanding trading floor environments, this  is now available to our clients for third party products.  Each client is provided with a hotline number to their support team. Access to incident reports and download facilities is provided through our business Wiki.

Training

We can provide tailored training courses in a number of fields, designed to suit the specific needs of a client, such as:

• Programming Language courses
• An Introduction to TCP/IP
• Software conversion courses for an NHS trust
• and of course, training in our own products.

Agile Methods

We use our own development methodology based on the DSDM approach, with some elements of extreme programming and other agile methods. Soon we hope to have ISO 9000 certification of these services via the PCGQS.

APL Development Tools

HMW supplies a suite of tools and utilities designed to provide a framework for agile projects. These enable the developers to concentrate on delivering a solution to the client’s problems, not re-establishing basic facilities with every system. They can be used independently, but together build into a powerful and flexible development environment.
