For over twenty-five years, systems developed by Headfast have been providing solutions to a wide range of requirements in electronic publishing, content management knowledge management, libraries and information services. Fast, friendly and flexible access to large amounts of information has been a common component in all these systems. We have also developed a broad range of specialised facilities for many of these applications - for example, library loans management, online ordering, electronic document delivery, catalogue and directory printing, integrated photographs and videos. Our clients include industrial and commercial companies, professional practices, local and central government, healthcare and hospitals, research bodies, charities, trade and professional associations, universities and colleges.

We have built up in-depth knowledge and practical experience of these key application areas. Combined with our technical expertise, these skills enable us to offer our clients a full range of services including consultancy, packaged application solutions, bespoke systems development, intranet development, CD-ROM design and production, and Internet application development and hosting. We also offer a complete publishing service through our Oxmill Publishing division for organisations with suitable data for publication.

We always work closely with our clients who value our ability to respond rapidly to their requirements. We believe this partnership approach enables us to ensure that the installed system meets your expectations and is one that everyone can be proud of. In this way, we combine our experience and technical expertise with your knowledge of the data and your specific requirements to provide a cost-effective solution with the functionality that you need. This collaborative approach is an iterative process of consultation, development, prototype and review that results in a finished system to match your requirements.

Of course, our partnership with you doesn't end when we have delivered the finished system and trained you to use it. We will provide you with ongoing support when you need it to help you use your system to its full potential. As your requirements evolve and you need enhancements made to the system, we are always available to advise you and to continue developing the system for you.

We have a reputation for delivering innovative solutions that are practical and professional. However, we also believe that the most cost-effective and reliable solutions are those that are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The underlying architecture of Headfast - our software technology - provides us with the flexibility to produce a system that is specifically designed to meet your requirements without having to develop it from scratch. Once your system is operational, this same adaptability enables us to continue evolving your system as your requirements develop and in response to advances in technology.
