Software Development

We have been successfully developing enterprise software to UK and global customers for over 10 years. Our dedicated UK based team of software engineers have vast experience in a broad range of technical skills. We specialise in providing bespoke customer centric software solutions on time and in budget.

System Integration

Through our enterprise roots we have come across a multitude of backend architectures, legacy applications and technology stacks spanning the last 20 years. Any business of even moderate size will almost certainly have numerous core systems and various department grown line of business applications.

Managing these increasingly complex IT estates is a formidable challenge for any organisation. i-Associates have the experience and skill to help streamline, integrate and modernise your IT estate.

• Legacy System Modernisation – do you have applications that are no longer fit for purpose, expensive to maintain, scarce skilled support staff, difficult to update? At i-Associates we can help you build the business case for system change. Following a controlled phased approach, we can help with the design, implementation and switchover to new systems.
• API Standardisation – convincing the board to modernise working legacy systems is often difficult and seen as a risky and costly exercise. Another option to help maximise the value of legacy systems is the creation of communication adapters and authoring standardised APIs. This allows other systems, customers and partners to access legacy systems in beneficial ways to the business.
• Third Party Integration – sometimes you just want to integrate into a supplier or partner system and don’t have the technical resource available. We have many years’ experience integrating a wide variety of third party APIs. We can deal with the technical implementation allowing you to focus on the business benefit.
• Out of control business applications and processes – Microsoft Access databases falling over, Excel spreadsheets too big to email, business processes not being managed, no auditing and security controls? We have seen plenty of homegrown line of business applications get to a certain size that they are no longer sustainable. We can help systemise these applications professionally and cost effectively so that you can regain business control.

Mobile Apps

i-Associates take a holistic view to application development - this includes providing a mobile strategy behind every development.

Increasingly, businesses provide a mobile based experience not only for their web content but also for their line of business and core applications. I-Associates can help provide the direction and skills to mobile-enable your current and future application infrastructure.

Data Services

Data is at the heart of most businesses, but it is often not used effectively. We understand the challenges of distilling business insights from disparate data. We have significant experience working with the major databases, manipulating and migrating data and working with large datasets.

i-Associates can provide help and resource in the following areas:

Support and Maintenance

All our software solutions are backed up by managed service contracts that provide business defined levels of system support. Flexible deployment models and cost-effective price points ensure that customers have the flexibility to select support options optimal to their business needs.

i-Associates are focused on protecting your business-critical systems.

Professional Services

i-Associates provide a range of professional services designed to complement our software services. Our focus is to provide maximum business value - we are not in the game of selling endless hours of consultancy.

We are technologists at heart and are always happy to talk about the latest enabling technologies, industry best practice and how disruptive IT trends can be harnessed to benefit your business.
