Do PACE undertake full development projects?
We have a wealth of experience in providing complete bespoke web and windows solutions for a host of clients. Through from analysis and design, specification, development, testing, to training and implementation.
Do PACE provide support and enhancements for existing legacy systems?
Yes, we have a lot of experience and knowledge of old systems, databases and custom controls, and have taken on dozens of older systems from clients over the years where resource shortages or staffing changes have left them vulnerable. We work to understand these older systems to ensure critical business continuity.
Do PACE undertake software and systems support to specified Service Level Agreements?
We have many clients who have SLA contracts with PACE. They all rely on us to ensure that their systems are operational in line with their business criticality. We provide the necessary resource and contingency to ensure this.
We have an old system on out of date infrastructure and software that we need to upgrade. Is this something PACE can help with?
Absolutely. We've modernised hundreds of old systems and migrated on to newer platforms and environments. From simple, managed migrations to full rewrites. We handle the whole process from scoping, specing, delivery and implementation.
We have a simple requirement for a small database/system, but don't know how to proceed. Can PACE help?
Our vast experience ensures we can bridge the gap between your business needs and your software requirements without the need for you to employ specialist in-house software or IT consultancy resource. We can analyse your operations and requirements and provide you with the right solution for your core business needs, delivered in the most economical way, with least operational impact.
