Lastic specialise in Caché technology and, in most instances, will use this as the foundation on which to build your software solution. The immense scalability of Caché has enabled us to develop client / server applications with the number of concurrent users ranging from 2 to 100s.

We design and implement the solutions, building the front-end using Windows clients or web technologies (Caché Weblink, CSP, ASP, CGI, ISAPI & XML).

We will work with you to identify any additional technologies or components which may be used within a given solution. These will depend on your budget, required functionality, skills available in your organisation and any corporate IT standards. These decisions are always made jointly. However, we will advise or recommend when needed.
