Collaborative software to help you see opportunity in your business data.

Delivering empowering systems for business is far greater than a copy and paste job. Developing software to make sense of your business-critical data, means getting to know you and your business. A custom system to meet your requirements means hundreds of decisions – workflow, technical, design, etc.

We are experts at product development and masters at creating visibility to help you make the right choices for your users and your bottom line.

Entirely capable and completely tailored for business.

The Joint United Kingdom Blood Transfusion and Tissue Transplantation Services Professional Advisory Committee (JPAC) was created in 1987; Each of the fou UK Blood Services have their own individual needs and different IT systems. The organisation needed a new website to simplify internal processes and allow all the blood services access to update the site.

Re-launched in April 2104 using technology, consultancy, support and content management with Target, the site is now servicing around 10,000 users per month who are requesting over half a million pages per year.
