PACE Software Development Ltd

Bespoke Software and Database Solutions Since 1993

About PACE Software Development

PACE are providers of Bespoke Software Development, Custom Database Design and Development, Software Support Services and IT Consultancy.

At PACE we have been delivering quality bespoke data driven software solutions and professional IT services from our Sheffield offices since 1993.

Initially we worked in Finance and Local Government primarily on strictly controlled projects following very stringent design principles. In subsequent years we have operated in many business sectors for hundreds of clients, and have gained significant experience and knowledge in every aspect of delivery of business software solutions.

This experience has ensured we recognise that the actual software is only part of the solution, and as such we strive to understand your entire business to ensure you get the right solution.

We specialise in the delivery of quality bespoke web, windows and database solutions, built on Microsoft technologies. We are a Microsoft Certified Partner (Silver Application Developer) and we have ISO:9001 quality accreditation.

For many of our clients we provide an on-going engagement to deliver piecemeal developments, system management and support of both their legacy systems and new systems, and we do this with a flexible, rolling contract arrangement. Many of our clients simply see us either as their IT department or an extension to their own IT department.

Whatever our clients require from us, we have the knowledge and experience to understand their business needs and to develop the high quality software solutions that transform their business operations, and the flexibility to deliver this in a way that suits them.

Our expertise centres on Microsoft technologies, specifically Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access.

We provide the following services:

Understanding You, Applying Technology

Too often projects are scoped and managed by analysts and project managers who don't understand software development processes or technologies. Too often software is delivered by developers who don't understand business process.

We do understand. Our experience over many years in many sectors has gained us a wealth of business operation and process knowledge, vital for the provision of successful solutions.

Your Trusted Expert Partner

Our clients trust us to deliver solutions that we have identified as being right for them. Our experience enables us to identify the key factors that will ensure successful project delivery, and just as importantly, identify potential problems that may affect the success of the project. We then offer solutions that are right for the client and their circumstances.

We don't enforce specific software models, methods or solutions on clients simply because we believe it is the right way to develop software. We adapt an approach that takes into account the clients business needs and plans, their operational processes, their financial position, current and planned infrastructure, staff IT knowledge and experience, staff workloads, and other on-going projects, IT interfaces and systems.

At PACE we work with many different sized clients across many sectors. What connects them all is how we have improved the accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of their business processes, and increased their profitability.
