The team at Logan IT Services has over seven years experience in customised software development to suit clients’ needs and requirements. This may involve automation, where instead of using spreadsheets and manual data entry in a business process, the process is automated in software written by Logan IT Services and saves both time and money, and reduces the risk of errors in manual data entry at multiple points. In this event the cost of development may be justified about how many resources are saved and reduced risk of error by the automation software.
There has been a number of cases where businesses have used several off-the-shelf products that are clunky to undergo a workflow or business process, and the business has decided to automate the process by developing a tailored software system for their specific needs. Then the business has provided the software to other businesses in their industry, recouping the cost of development.
Logan IT Services has experience in both desktop software that runs on your computer (namely Windows) and web applications that run through your web browser (namely ASP.NET).
