Our History In Details

2001

Founded by Len Ford

  • Len-1-small

  • The Software Development Company, Audlem Software Ltd, was founded in 2001 by Len Ford with the intention of providing high-quality software applications on time and to budget.

As he had 15 years experience of using Microsoft Technologies, the company initially concentrated on projects using these technologies. However, over the succeeding years many more skills have been learned by the employees.

2001

Developing Modules for Facilita

  • One of the first projects undertaken was to develop the HTML parsing engine for Facilita’s testing application Forecast. This project required learning new skills, QT, Perl and Python and was used to test Vizzavi’s new Alerts offering.

2002

3D Visualisation for Electrikimage

  • EI4-audi

  • EI4-housegrow

  • A Windows application for presentations in 3D was developed for Electrikimage. This required Len to remember all his 3D transforms used when doing his D.Phil in Molecular Biophysics.

2005

Developing a Human Resource Web Application

  • In 2005 we started developing HR-People for HR Solutions Limited. This was to become a comprehensive HR web-delivered application with modules for:

    • Employee records – with user customisable forms
    • Policy Management – with checking that the employees had agreed to the policy
    • Absence management – with the employees able to book holidays and record sicknesses
    • Employee contract management
    • A full sets of reports with an end-user report designer

2007

School Rapport

  • In 2007 we took the framework from HR-People and developed a web application, School Rapport, for generating school reports from templates.

2009

SABRe

  • In 2009 we developed a module for HR-People, SABRe (Salaries And Bonuses Review) for Hendersons Global Investors. This module allows Henderson’s to:

    • Allocate salary, bonus and share pots down from board level down to individual managers.
    • Determine the salary increase for the year within their portion of the pot
    • Determine the bonus for the year
    • Determine the number of shares to allocate
    • The current allocations can be reviewed by higher level managers and rejected


2009

Pipeliner -> ConversationalCRM

  • In 2009 we also started developing a web-delivered CRM called Pipeliner in association with Adara Associates Ltd. This was to develop into the fully featured, enterprise class CRM called ConversationalCRM.
