What is Different about Accelerate4?

Accelerate4 is neither a consultancy nor a technology provider in the traditional sense.

We are treasure hunters.

We have a passion for spotting potential and finding the problems that inhibit your company. There are large cost savings and productivity increases possible in your business. We know where to find them and how to make the change happen.

Comprehensive partnership

But we go further than that. Once an area for change has been identified we will work in partnership with you to complete the improvements, advising and assisting in the process of change, and providing and supporting the technology that will drive the change.

Rapid development by small teams

We use small teams that are capable of rapid development using all appropriate technologies. Small, focused teams ensure that everyone working in partnership with you has a comprehensive grasp of the entire problem and the solution. This allows a cross-fertilisation of ideas between team members, improving the result and speeding the process along. Clients can therefore talk through the solution with a number of people rather than a single individual.

We hate waste...

That’s one of the reasons that we keep our development teams small. We have a passion for providing our clients with what they need, without excessive ‘functionality’ that would go unused. We will use our time effectively to get the best result for you. One of our two main aims is to save you money, and that saving must begin with the cost of our service to you.

...so we like open architectures…

We will always endeavour to make or use solutions that can be easily extended to grow and change with your business. We utilise and contribute to a number of open source projects: this is an excellent way for us to provide rapid solutions for our clients’ needs whilst controlling their costs.

…and recycle where we can!

Not just paper, although our hatred of waste extends to keeping Accelerate4 as paperless as possible. Why not re-use our creations? If we create a tool for you that can be re-used by another of our clients, we will ask for your permission to use it with them, too. That way you get a discount or money back, the other client gets a speedier solution, and we don’t waste time writing two identical systems.

We’re more than just a technology provider

Technology isn’t an end in itself. It is an enabler: a means of saving you cash, a way of increasing your output and your profits, and ultimately a way of freeing up your most valuable asset – your staff. At Accelerate4 we will never suggest a technological solution unless, after a comprehensive study of the problem, we know that technology will make things better.
