ESP staff have successfully delivered a wide range of ICT services, including:

ESP will create a website that is professional, stylish, unique. If you require a web presence, we will provide one of which you can be justifiably proud.

We take the time to get to know you, your business and users. We discover what your current and target users want and need. We analyse your current business and industry, including your audience, marketing plans, partnership agreements and growth opportunities. We will involve you in this process to ensure that a full appreciation of the current business activity and processes have been gained by the analysts involved.

We use our wealth of technical and creative experience to design and produce a look and feel that meets the needs of you and your users. We will take your corporate identity and transfer it online, ensuring that what your customers see online not just reinforces but enhances their relationship with your organisation.

We appreciate that websites are not intended to be static. You need to maintain a site to keep the content up-to-date, accurate and stimulating. You will inevitably want to revise text, add pages or change logos and presentation. Our design approach will simplify the task of maintaining the site - making it possible for you or your staff to take control.

Our Content Management System (CMS) approach will empower you to add, delete or edit any area of your site.

We understand that you may wish to change content quickly and easily and keep control of your site. To support this, we can provide a solution that allows you to update the site and add new content as your audience or business requirements demand.

We appreciate that your business activities may not warrant the significant financial investment that commercial CMS implementations often demand. To this end, we are experienced in the use and implementation of open source solutions provided by organisations such as Apache.

We won't expect you to come back to us every time you need to update something on your web site, although we will happily do so when requested. We will not demand that you enter into long-term, expensive support contracts. You will not need to pay us to complete work that could and often should be handled by you and your staff.

ESP recognises and appreciates that not all businesses can satisfy their requirements through procurement of packaged software solutions.

Where your business and core activities are not supported by existing software and/or packages, we will design and develop all the software needed to deliver your requirements. Our ESP team has a substantial and highly successful track record in bespoke systems design and development for the government and commercial sectors.

Our core experience is founded in n-tier Internet front (interface) and back end (database) development. We do not lock you into specific vendors. We focus on delivering solutions that are both operating system and database independent.

Our team provides Object Oriented Internet front and back end solutions to our clients. The solutions delivered are 'open' in that they are not reliant on a particular Operating System, Database or Hardware vendor. We provide single implementation software that provides our client with the flexibility to decide and, as required, change their deployment model.

We recognise that giving our clients future flexibility and growth options are essential - and necessary. As your business evolves and expands, your systems should be capable of reflecting that reality.

We have the technical experience to fit in with any technology or platform choices your organisation may already have invested in. We have provided custom solutions using toolsets based on: Java, EJB (J2EE), JDBC, Java Servlet/Applet, Microsoft .Net PHP, Delphi, XML, XSLT and HTML4 technologies.

ESP staff have designed databases (and enhanced existing ones) for government, retailers, financial institutions and other Information Technology companies. We design and build highly robust databases. Whether they are for a transaction processing (OLTP), decision support or a corporate Data Warehouse requirement, we have proven expertise in providing the solution.

Growth and scalability will be incorporated. All ESP delivered database solutions will always be accompanied with the necessary documentation, such as an Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) and a comprehensive Data Dictionary.

We know the common pitfalls and problems with many database designs. We have years of experience in helping organisations troubleshoot and rectify performance and integrity problems - which makes us experts in building databases the RIGHT way. With ESP, you will leverage our experience and avoid repeating expensive mistakes.

Whether you have a platform based on Microsoft SQL Server, Ingres or Oracle, or have selected open source platforms such as MySQL or PostgreSQL - we have the skills to implement your design effectively.

Are you reaching all the customers you need to? Ever wish you could sell your products while you sleep?

With an eCommerce solution you can reach millions of people everyday, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and in every part of the world. Your customers can view, buy and pay for any number of products online, day or night. Orders, payments, tax and shipping can be easily managed.

Reaching potential customers is step 1 but enticing them is step 2. We will work with you to develop a solution that delivers what you want and need to sell effectively online.

If you already own an eCommerce solution, our expertise in systems integration will help you to communicate valuable transaction information between your existing or legacy applications regardless of the platforms you are using.

ESP can advise you in the measures to take to ensure that you and your business are protected from malicious hackers, viruses and breaches of security within your organisation.

We can help advise and protect you against these and many more security risks and threats.

Many people think it will never happen to them....until it does and then it is too late. Some companies also forget about the duty they owe to their customers and do not properly protect their confidential details from unauthorised access and misuse.

ESP have performed security audits and implemented solutions for a number of organisations. Indeed, staff members have been interviewed on this topic for news organisations such as the BBC. If this area is a concern for your organisation, please contact us. If you are under risk, we will identify the risks and action a solution.

We provide services from the setting up of your office network to development and support of your critical business systems.

We provide instructor training to individuals and groups; small and large businesses; the private and public sectors. We can provide training in a vast range of ICT areas. For example, we can prepare you for creating reports to run against an existing system or teach you how to use new technologies such as XML or Java. For management, we have provided full technology awareness briefings - customised to the needs of the organisation.

In short, if ESP has skills that are of value to your enterprise, we will happily accommodate skills transfer to the appropriate members of your organisation.

We provide consultancy services in areas such as requirements analysis, web design, web accessibility, systems development, project management, communications, quality assurance, eLearning and security.

Through our own experience and that of major consultancy partners such as ASTEC Global Consultancy, Van Kempen Engineering & Consultancy (KEC) and Systemics Network International (SNI), we can advise every facet of the modern ICT arena.

Our consultants and those of our chosen partners are all highly skilled and qualified. We will be able to provide comprehensive references for any work we are contracted to undertake. We will assist and advise you on any ICT issues you have and guarantee your confidentiality.
