We’re building an Excel Add-in (XLL) for Lloyds TSB which allows further add-in functionality to be written as managed code (e.g. in C#).
This project is being run on a “time and materials” basis from our Guildford office and we’ve negotiated to keep the IP rights of the underlying managed XLL shell for possible later resale or use in a product.

Len is working with CSFB’s HYDRA team to design and develop a trade events server for them in C++ on Windows.

We have secured a contract with HSBC to work with their Global Markets IT development team on their Summit installation. We’re helping them to restructure their source tree, move to a new and more structured version control system and helping them with CORBA servers to make their Summit data available to their e-commerce and “dot com” teams.
