While we do specialise in providing solutions for Adobe® products and technologies, the above list shows our experience goes further afield. Our software development teams in the UK, Germany and Moldova have the expertise to provide you with a solution, however we do not claim to be experts in everything and in those cases we have a number of partners that we can bring on board. Our Technical Director, Michael Peters is also a Fellow of the Institution of Analysts and Programmers (FIAP) in the UK and has access to a wealth of technical expertise if the need arises

Our process

If our clients don't have their own standards to follow we then default to following a five step process on our approach when developing software. However it may be that you have your own standards in place such as Agile management techniques and we are happy to work alongside you in those cases.

Where now?

If you are interested in having a particular product developed then please contact us for an informal no-obligation discussion or fill in our enquiry form or send an email to our Technical director Michael Peters (mpeters@mapsoft.com). We will be happy to provide a free quotation for the development of a software solution to meet your needs.

We usually price our solutions on a fixed price basis, so making your budgeting a little easier to control. All our customised solutions come with a year's free technical support as standard. However we are willing to work on a time and materials basis if required or if a project has not been defined in the early stages enough to provide an accurate fixed price.
