                  Project Management
                  Ebor’s approach to project management is flexible in 
                    that we adopt whatever methodology our customer requires. 
                    Larger projects that we are managing to defence standards 
                    include: 
                  
                  Sponsored by the DMO, 
                    Ebor Computing underwent CMMI 
                    (Capability Maturity Model Integration) appraisal in December 
                    2002. 
                  We have also used appropriately scaled down processes on 
                    smaller projects such as:

                  Web Applications
                  Our team of software developers is expert in web technologies, 
                    including: 
                  
                    - Java – JSP (Java Server Pages), Servlets, Applets and 
                      RMI (Remote Method Invocation)
 
                    - HTML, XML, XSL and Schemas
 
                    - JavaScript, PHP and Perl
 
                    - Databases, for example, MySQL
 
                    - Authentication, encryption and secure server/client transactions
 
                   
                  Ebor recommends Java for custom software development because 
                    it: 
                  
                    - Allows applications to be distributed over the web
 
                    - Is platform independent
 
                    - Is object oriented
 
                    - Facilitates sound software engineering
 
                   
                  An example of one of our commercial web based applications 
                    is:

                  Hardware Integration 
                  Ebor Computing's head office has a laboratory specifically 
                    engineered for 
                    the integration of software and hardware systems.  
                  Some of our demonstrated capabilities include:  
                  
                    -  Assembly, testing and fault-finding of specialised computer 
                      systems

                    - Secure storage of software and hardware
 
                    - Development of test plans, procedures and reports according 
                      to
 
                      MIL-STD-498 
                    - System maintenance and ongoing support
