Franchise IT Consultancy & Development

Creating Simple IT Solutions to Complex Business Problems

Abcom has been developing highly specialised software solutions to the quick service hospitality and retail industry for over 20 years. During that time we have built up a formidable pool of experience in analysing the needs and creating simple IT solutions to complex business problems.

Fee for Service

Since 2001 Abcom has opened up its development department services and expertise to other private business software projects with great success.

We have provided invaluable consultancy to numerous organisations on how to improve their IT processes and achieve greater return on investment.

In the last 5 years Abcom has formalised its development process to the Microsoft Solutions Framework methodology. This is a framework for ensuring software development is managed and assessed according to industry best practices and benchmarks to deliver real business value.

Many of our customers believe the structured approach we have brought to new and existing projects has given them confidence that deliverables will be met and IT investment is a positive one rather than an endless financial black hole.

Our customers have varied from international franchises to small individual businesses. No matter what the scale, no matter what the business case, our objective remains the same - to do all we can to deliver powerful and cost-effective IT solutions.

Franchise Solutions

Abcom specializes in (but is not limited to):

Feasibility Study - Facilitating a business analyst role to customers investigating the feasibility of commencing an IT project. Abcom has assisted many businesses in ensuring IT investment is placed in avenues that will yield positive returns and apply the correct technology where necessary.
Software Development - Developing rich client software using the latest technology to solve business problems. Abcom has experience in developing service-oriented applications that are extensible and customisable. We are constantly pushing the envelope to bring the best IT solutions to the table in every project.
3rd Party Software Components Development - Developing explicit, generic software components to assist in improving or extending the functionality of third party software. Abcom has built up an extensive library of ready-to-go simple software components that have provided fast and simple solutions to common business problems.
Web Development - Developing the full gamut of web solutions: from simple web sites to complex data-centric, user-updatable web portals and web services.
Technical Writing - Providing technical writing, user help documentation and technical design documentation for new and existing IT projects. Abcom has offered documentation services to many clients to provide self-paced user training materials for existing systems that have experienced low user take up. Technical system documentation has often been provided for third party software where such documentation was never created correctly in the first place and has produced a bottleneck scenario regarding updating or replacing that IT solution.
