Software engineering

We have our own team of software developers who are experienced in a wide range of software programming languages.

We use technology which is already well established in the IT industry. The software team relies on both their own IT skills and a highly developed knowledge of the scientific data and the instruments used to collect them. This combination of skills brings a pioneering approach to the development of marine data management tools.

For our own internal use we develop in

For web applications we use ArcIMS, JSP, Perl, JavaScript, HTML and XHTML.
