Case Studies

HOW OUR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT TEAM CAN HELP YOU

As leading Microsoft specialists, we’ve got everything necessary to help with the whole range of Microsoft technology for development and implementation – whether that be in the cloud, or on-site at your location in Bristol or in the surrounding Somerset and Gloucestershire areas.

Most future development projects will make use of Azure’s cloud-native features. Simply by employing the ideal Azure capabilities, our experts guarantee that your ideas and developments are cost-efficient, agile, scalable, and more. Also, through Azure Integration Services, Azure offers great integration resources. Our qualified employees can work with you to determine your integration needs.

If .NET is considered the core of the Microsoft Data Platform, SQL should be viewed as its heart. This is the same irrespective of whether it’s used in-house as an SQL server or in any one of its various forms in Azure. Our team has in-depth experience and can utilise SQL to build up programs for business intelligence, or data management. Whatever form it really is in, no one can look after it better than our experts.

Without .NET, Microsoft development technology couldn’t perform. Our team of professional computer programmers can update legacy applications, create in-house software, and develop cloud-based software systems using their extensive knowledge of and experience in the use of .NET. This will ensure you benefit from the most efficient application available.

These days, business applications also need mobile software to complement them. The advanced level of code sharing between mobile, desktop, tablet and cloud apps when utilising .NET MAUI/Xamarin offers a price and time efficient way to deliver a mobile app to your workforce or clients.

Obtaining the most from your data along with intelligent enterprise insights is achieved with a professionally created data warehouse. As Microsoft specialists our tools of preference lie in the Azure Modern Data Warehouse stack.

BizTalk is the standard for on-premises integration, and our company is one of only a few UK-based BizTalk professionals serving Bristol. Our dedicated BizTalk employees can professionally add your systems or modernise all of them to the cloud.

What We Do

As a firm wholly dedicated to custom made software, our specialisations revolve around an organisation’s potential software needs. We have the skills you need, whether you are looking for brand-new app development, software implementation, legacy system updates or mobile software development.

Application development

When a custom app is created with the enterprise in mind by our group of expert developers, we can take your business to the next level and help you earn new clients by gaining competitive advantage. Our team of app developers will take you through the entire process, from concept to completion.

Mobile App Development

Your application may not be reaching its entire potential audience when it can only be used online or in the cloud. In case your customers or employees within the field need access to the application in almost any location, our mobile experts can create an associated mobile enterprise software solution.

Application Modernisation

Legacy tools, although once powerful, can now be a drain on time and budget for development staff tasked with patching and keeping it going. Modernising an app in the cloud, whether rearchitecting or rebuilding, makes certain that you can reap the benefits of cloud capabilities and empowers your workforce with rapid, bug-free application to better carry out work.

Business intelligence

Data is power. It can help you make informed business choices. It is likely however that you may not be making full use of your data. By using effective business intelligence abilities, you can make certain you are taking the most effective strategic decisions for the future health of the enterprise.

Application Integration

Whenever information or messages aren’t distributed amongst applications and teams, different systems can result in time-consuming manual procedures, duplicated data, or errors. Our software integration specialists can merge your apps right into one streamlined and coherent tool.

Data Management

Keeping your data secure, accessible, accurate and managed is a heavy workload for an in-house database supervisor. Regain resources and clean up your computer data with competent data administration. Our data staff can help you enhance efficiency, productivity and trust in your data.

Project Manager – OVO Energy

Moving our Global ERP System from an on-premises solution to a cloud hybrid solution presented some technical challenges during design and implementation phases. Ballard Chalmers consultants provided the skills and expertise needed to successfully complete the project. We are extremely happy with the end result and the service provided by Ballard Chalmers.

Head of IT EMEA and Global Networks – Imagination

Ballard Chalmers consultants are easy to work with, flexible and have been extremely keen on listening to problems and developing fit for purpose solutions. At no point were they overselling.

Head of Infrastructure Strategy & Architecture – BBC Media Action

The new system is so much better than what we were doing in the past. We were sending a large amount of documents through the mail, and now the governors and trustees can access them remotely and securely online.

IT Manager – Children’s non-profit

Ballard Chalmers has consistently provided a service that has matched or exceeded expectations within the agreed budget and timescale. They were receptive to our on-going suggestions and changing requirements and able to act promptly throughout. We look forward to working with them more in the future and would recommend them highly.

Director – Fenix Insight

Perhaps best of all you know you are in good hands when the senior directors know just as much as their consultants and are quite prepared to get ‘their hands dirty’ and solve the technical problems as well as the commercial ones.”

CIO – Oxford Computer Group

The best result of their work recently is the portal itself. Until the recent MVP [minimum viable product] went out, we were unable to make emergency bookings through the system. They’ve really improved the functionality and our ability to work with other installers.

Project Manager – OVO Energy

Thanks for your support – John did an awesome job. We are looking at moving more applications to Microsoft technology and we view you as our Microsoft Partner of choice for future work.

IT Project Manager – Energy Saving Trust

We are very pleased with the work done by Ballard Chalmers. The resulting system was successful in fully automating this particular procurement process, and we would certainly recommend them to others.
