Why what we do is interesting! by admin — last modified 2007-02-22 12:39

Our current work is interesting from both a political and technical point of view. Our focus is on Open Source software - software which is free to use - not just in terms of cost but more importantly in terms of freedom. On top of that Open Source software embraces a wide range of different technologies often cutting edge. One day people will say "Nobody ever got fired for freeing their systems".

Originally the company formed in 1990 by Aidan & Sue McGuire specialised in “double byte language systems (Japanese / Chinese). From this niche activity the company expanded and was formally incorporated in 1996. In 1998 we opened our Belgian Subsidiary Blue Fountain Systems SA and in 2002 we moved our main office from London to Liverpool to provide us with the right location to grow further.
