Who
are we?
Commercial
and General Systems
are the world's leading specialists in dealing with computer
and technology problems that simply terrify
other businesses.
What
kind of problems do we tackle?
Strange,
unusual and seemingly impossible problems.
Problems
related to anything non-standard, from ancient, obsolete,
'legacy' systems to the very latest 'state of the art', highly
specialised technologies.
Why
are we interested in solving them?
Not
because we think that the more standard, familiar solutions
are necessarily boring (we have to be able to offer help with
them as well).
But
working with these 'oddball' problems, we meet challenges
that make every job we take on extremely fulfilling: over
many years and thousands of jobs, we have never found two
requirements which were exactly the same.
Why
are we good at solving these problems?
The
more of them you do, the better you get!
Since
our beginning in 1988, we have built up databases of thousands
of specialists and solutions.
We
have developed long-standing relationships with enormous numbers
of individuals who are each expert in one particular technology.
When
you call us with a problem, our long memories help us to ask
you the right questions in order to 'get a handle on your
problem'.
People
tell us that we seem to know 'more than is humanly possible'
about the most obscure problems, but we don't hide the fact
that our knowledge is constantly augmented by our network
of enthusiastic collaborators.
In
fact, once we have solved your problem with some unusual or
old technology, we might actually have the audacity to ask
you to help us if someone else comes up with a similar problem
in future (which perhaps gives an insight into how we appear
to be so knowledgeable!) and offer to pay for your help!
We
work on the principle that:
'the
more problems we solve, the more problems we CAN solve'.
