Why use Red River Software?

Here are five things you need for a software development project

You need expertise

We boast Microsoft’s highest accreditation, as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. But more than this, we employ the bright sparks at the cutting-edge of software’s relentless development. With award-winning expertise, we find the solutions that others cannot see.

We use our knowledge, talent and commercial awareness to make these products work hard for our clients.

about us

You need the software to fit the people, not the people to fit the software

We never lose sight of the fact that our software must make life easier for people; must improve your business. Throwing technology blindly at a situation will never improve it.

Learning about your business is our business. With you, we can identify your priorities and challenges. We can employ our experience, skills and commitment to help you implement technology solutions that match your exact business needs.

Bespoke software solutions that work as you need them to, when you need them to, at a cost that makes compelling business sense.

You need a solution to push your business to the next level

Most clients need us to save them time or money, and preferably both. Others strive to break new boundaries and pioneer new, innovative ways to move their industry forward. We’re interested in doing it all.

You need trust

IT projects traditionally suffer from increasing timescales, lost specifications and mushrooming costs. We keep our projects on track by understanding the value of client interaction. We build long-term strategic partnerships by working transparently with honesty and integrity. Clients trust us to deliver; because, we do.

We will guide you through the complete software lifecycle from business requirements analysis, through feasibility study, specification, analysis, design, prototyping, programming, testing and deployment to ongoing support and enhancement.

Red River Software has a collaborative, agile and friendly approach. But don’t take our word for it – see what Red River Software clients have to say.

What out customers say

"Red River Software has developed a framework of systems that underpin the operation our business and our interaction with our clients. They have produced visually striking, robust systems and go beyond what is expected to support our business both strategically and operationally.
Red River team go above and beyond the spec which is given to then and always look to add forward thinking and dynamic solutions to the task."

-Jason G, SCM

"I was introduced to Red River Software team in 2008 when trying to unravel and streamline a conceptually complex part of our business process. From the first informal meeting I realised these are very sharp people. Not only do they write amazing code but they know how to pick your business apart and really identify the underlying processes that drive a given piece of work. Their rapid grasp of the issues and forthright comprehension of the process needs made Red River Software a key part in successfully creating a software product that has solved some age old data management issues in our industry. In fact we often said in the office that if they were to have a strap line it should be "we make your company look good!" "
