Objectivity has moved from a software house that focused mainly on proprietary technologies to one that has embraced industry-wide technologies such as Microsoft and Java, with 'proper' tools, techniques and procedures to ensure our software development adheres to well-accepted practice.
The key to out continued success over the next few years will come from adopting strategic business solutions in each of the three development teams, whilst investing in offshore relationships to lower the cost of bespoke developments.
