Bullet And more

In addition to Blue Chip Technology's core software services, we work closely with established partners to provide a bespoke application development service in cases where it suits our client to subcontract the entire hardware/software system design to a single provider.

This approach makes it possible to start with a single, much simpler specification. Furthermore the client has a single point of contact for dealing with all issues (whether hardware, software or "not sure") which may arise during the project life cycle. This relationship offers a high level of integration between the hardware and the software.

Applications Development includeing:

Bullet Man-Machine Interface design
Bullet Internationalisation
Bullet Functional Specification preparation
Bullet O-O design (including UML and use cases)
Bullet Database design
Bullet Object access technology: CORBA, COM, DCE
Bullet RDBMs: Informix, Oracle, SQL Server, Access, MySQL
Bullet Programming languages: C, C++, C#, Java (including Swing),
Bullet (also VB, Perl, Python, Javascript etc)
Bullet Windows: 9X, NT, ME, XP, MFC, .NET
Bullet Unix: Solaris, Linux
Bullet Macintosh: Mac OS
Bullet Web: Servlets, CGi, PHP, XML
Bullet Application test harnesses
