The Personnel

Although Omniphi Systems itself was only incorporated in 2006, the business has been providing computer systems to service based businesses since 1996.

The company is owned by Adam Dewbery and Nick Perris who are both actively involved in analysing clients' needs, producing required software and providing support to users.

Adam Dewbery graduated from Cambridge University in 2006 with a degree in Computer Science and has been actively involved in developing software for several years.

Nick Perris has a degree in Mathematics from Bristol University and became a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries in 1988. Nick also runs a financial services company employing 12 staff and hence is able to look at a client's problems from a perspective similar to their own.

The Omniphi Philosophy

Software development involves getting to know the business involved, understanding why a computer system is needed and what it would be used for in practice.

Computer systems written by a programmer who does not understand the underlying business requirement will often not meet the client's actual needs. Similarly, a specification requested by a client is unlikely to be tailored toward a simple IT solution. As a direct result of this we do not regard the development process as 'you tell us what to do and we will program it'.

Computer analysis often strays into management or administration consultancy. If we ask "Why have you proposed to do it that way?" or "Have you considered this?", we are not being awkward but are trying to streamline the overall process so that the best solution may be obtained for both the client and the eventual programmer.

Once we fully understand the business, we may then also be able to suggest additional features for the proposed system that may not have previously been considered.
