NBS Experience

NBS personnel have extensive computer language and application programming experience. Work is undertaken on projects as a whole or on a "consultative tuition" basis where NBS personnel will work with a client's staff to develop an application while training the staff in the application development methodologies.

Programming commissions have been performed on behalf of both public (government) and private organisations.

In some cases NBS has been retained as the quality control for programming projects and to advise on the quality of supplied software.
