Software Development

localLINUX has what it takes to get software development done on your terms. Our experts are ready to tackle software development and integration tasks. Whether you need to cross reference your data with a web service or screen scrape a legacy application for data warehousing and analysis, our developers will hit the ground running.

Integration

Computer software has revolutionized the way that we work. Software evolves quickly and so do the things we ask of it. Every day there are products released that can make our lives easier and more automated, but how do you tie them to your existing data and make sense of it all if the manufacturer hasn't planned for your edge case?

What about when you need to migrate from one system to another, leverage the strengths of multiple systems or automating the distribution of information?

localLINUX has experienced developers who work with you to develop integration "glue" software that does exactly what your business project needs.

Experience

Our developers have professional experience developing software and integrated systems in diverse environments. We have a competitive edge when approaching your projects because of our wide view in the field.

Industries that we have consulted or provided end-to-end software development solutions for include: telecom, insurance, finance, education, retail, manufacturing, oil, and more.
