An obsession with precision

Luxury timepieces for royalty.

Nothing says precision like a hand crafted watch, and we were busy making the best for the rich and famous in Europe. With a reputation for excellence we held the Royal Warrant and employed staff dedicated to looking after the timepieces in Buckingham Palace for the British Royal Family.

Today our software echoes that precision, with millions of unseen lines of code working together in perfect synchrony to deliver exacting results every day throughout the world.

An obsession with reliability

Mission-critical equipment.

There are some times when you really don’t want things to go wrong – and in 1919 when Alcock and Brown made their historic non-stop crossing of the Atlantic in a Vickers Vimy biplane, they chose our magnetos to keep their Rolls Royce engines running.

Today we honor that trust in our systems, and implement protocols to trace and eliminate bugs and issues at source. Reliability is an obsession we’re proud of.

As a long-established private firm with a global outlook, we embrace a commitment to quality of service and outcome. Our atmosphere is friendly and supportive, and our people typically stay with us for years, if not decades, providing a stability and a depth of organizational expertise rare in this sector.

In working with our clients we always aim to do whatever it takes, providing solutions and insight wherever we can add value.

This underpins and is integral to our success.

Since the mid 1990s our company has specialized in applied business information technology, creating solutions for global businesses. That IT expertise is distilled into clearString and the neatComponents technology behind it. The great utility of clearString is based on our unique heritage in both innovation and real world business experience.

A unique heritage

We trace our corporate history back to the 1900’s when technological innovation was expressed in very different forms, yet was based around the same principles we embrace today. Over the decades our company has evolved as technologies have been invented. We’ve been at the forefront of many of these changes, inventing and patenting a wide variety of devices.

And while the computing technology at the heart of today’s applications is very different from those of the past, as you’ll see from the examples below there are striking similarities in the approaches across the decades. We call these our obsessions:
