datb is a highly successful and growing software company developing web deployed, database driven applications for our blue chip clients. Unlike other software companies who deliver a point in time solution, we develop long term relationships with our clients so that our applications are enhanced and changed over time to reflect changing business requirements. datb was established in 2002 and since then all our clients have remained clients, and all our applications remain in productive use. This is all made possible by our unique development and deployment tool kinodb, which enables us to not only develop cost effective applications, but to quickly and effectively enhance them over time, resulting in a very low total cost of ownership. We develop bespoke, off-the-shelf and customised applications. One of our off-the-shelf applications Investment Manager is delivered with our joint venture partner ICS consulting. This has been highly successful and is now the market leader within the UK water industry for asset capital investment optimisation.
