Behind every door, a new opportunity

The challenge for any good business is to seize upon the best opportunities that present themselves when the proverbial door opens and act upon them in a timely manner.

We’ve had a number of opportunities present themselves to us over the years that have made us what we are today. The challenge for any good business is to seize upon the best of these opportunities when the proverbial door opens and act on them in a timely manner. Our history and our track record have been determined and shaped by the doors that have opened to us along the way.

Starting out, Glazier Systems was founded on the basis that smart business people could use a high productivity tool like Microsoft Access to build clever business systems without having to have a deep technical background. As the business grew, we began to use Microsoft SQL Server to allow us to build larger scale systems and we started to hire more technical staff. When Microsoft entered the web space with ASP we followed and began building browser-based business applications, websites and intranets and established our hosting capability. The business continued to grow, our projects became bigger and more complex and our staff became more technically focused.

In 2001, .NET came along. We embraced that and moved into a new world of enterprise applications. At about the same time, we were introduced to new wave of application environments from Microsoft with likes of SharePoint and Content Management Server. We again stepped up, branched out and broadened the scope of what we did.

More recently, as Microsoft has moved in to the ERP and CRM market, we have followed suit and added those solutions to our offering. Microsoft now affords us the opportunity to provide an extremely wide range of business solutions to our clients.  We have grown business to support the increased breadth of solutions and have supplemented our deep technical teams with a range of business focused people covering area such as CRM and ERP consulting, knowledge strategy, architecture and business process design.  Microsoft has been a great partner for us, opening the door to a wealth of opportunities. And judging by the exciting line-up of announcements at the recent Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles, there are plenty more opportunities on the horizon.

In uncertain economic times, it is important to have a partner that provides you with great opportunity and one that recognises the value you bring to them.

We wish you a happy and safe Christmas and look forward to working with you in 2009.
