Based in the hustle and bustle of the capital's West End.
Rapid Application Development of a complex database to gather information on C&W ISP’s and competitors. In a short time an application of 72 tables, 143 forms and 113 reports was built in Access. Some of my own code was used to speed development and lower the cost of the project, together with my third-party tools.

The database was accessed by C&W ISP’s around the world, using a variety of platforms and communications.  This was delivered as a runtime system, and later put on an intranet.
