      Business Applications Development Consultant

      Although the basic function of apps is to add, change and delete records the challenge at enterprise level is one of scale, resilience, performance and above all confidence in the data accuracy.In the course of a decade at Desynit I’ve worked on a vast array of applications, systems and technologies. The common thread is the importance of each system to the clients I’ve worked with.Project examples:- Supplier Portal - expose information from legacy systems to web browsers using web services and then create a portal for both internal and external users using salesforce.com.- Online Price Calculator – designing an online price calculator to provide high volumes of quotes in real-time, integrated into the salesforce.com platform.- Configuring Salesforce.com to tailor this enterprise CRM system to the processes and objectives of the client- Application Support especially through key change-over periods to provide a seamless cut-over from one release to the next.

      Director

      I was a founder Director of Desynit when a group of us decided to form the company in 2000. We felt that by pooling our skills and experience and working with multiple clients through a separate company we could meet our personal and career goals better. Together we have built an enterprise application development team with a strong project and client portfolio and a great culture, based in Bristol.In the early days the common skill we shared was CA PLEX, a market-leading application design and development framework at that time. As technology has moved on so Desynit has identified emerging opportunities, in conjunction with new projects. One major growth area we identified was Salesforce.com. It's been a privilege to help to win new projects on the Salesforce.com and Force.com platform and then play a lead role in delivering them, alongside projects utilising other technologies.
