Wednesday 8th September saw us pay a visit to St Pauls Mercure hotel in Sheffield (next to the equally excellent Winter Gardens). The free lunch (it seems there is such a thing!) was organised by Sheffield Chamber of Commerce as part of their Business Networking month. It was the first Chamber event we had been to, and also the first time we'd been in the hotel. All round excellence! Hotel is great, with a superb hot buffet lunch. The networking itself was very pleasant and didn't feel forced. Didn't quite get to push Quad's Sheffield-based software development services , but we will hopefully help one new client with their website. Well done everyone!

Here at Quad, we have a page on our site which Google will not index. We do well with SEO, but this one is perplexing us! The page relates to our Software Development Services and is more a CV listing what we do. Renaming the page and moving the folder it is based in does not seem to do anything, so Google is almost blinkering the page. Hopefully mentioning it here might trigger something in Google's churning machine, but we will have to wait and see. I have some other plans for the page, so will report back my findings to see if Software Development in Sheffield will become an active, spidered, indexed link....

Every company organises itself differently. At Quad, we see different organisations writing spreadsheets to match the business process. Evolving over time, the person who set them up may move on, or simply does not have time anymore to maintain them. They become a job in themselves and focus is taken from the business. That's where Quad come in. We have built an in-house suit of utilities allowing us to convert spreadsheets into a bespoke application. The finished application performs more quickly, more reliably and more robustly. The application can usually bring added benefits of having multi-user access, being able to track "who did what?" and avoiding the situation we've seen many times where the crucial spreadsheet gets deleted. Find out more details about converting Excel spreadsheets into applications on our website.
