Welcome

We specialise in solving our Clients' problems with easy to use and cost effective systems answers. Based on the edge of the New Forest on the  Hampshire / Dorset border in England, we offer Consultancy, bespoke software development, Web development and training services.  We can back this up by supplying hardware and office software where necessary.

Company Profile

KDW Management Services was formed in 1987 to provide solutions to the business needs of small to medium sized organizations.  We pride ourselves in getting to understand our Clients' business needs, and then delivering answers which are easy for them to use, hiding the complicated parts out of sight.  We are also proud of the fact that we have very long term relationships with our Clients, most of our new Clients come from existing Clients' recommendations.

The majority of our business is consultancy, training, and bespoke computer systems development.  However, we do provide hardware, networking and of the shelf software where appropriate as part of the overall package.

Our Clients appreciate the fact that we deal with them in easy to understand business language, and get to know their business in order to make sure that the solution fits in with the overall business needs.  One Client nearly doubled their turnover based on the facilities in a new system which we provided for them.  Clients comprise both end users and Software Houses, around the UK and Eire.

Our Principal Consultant, Kevin Wright, has a wealth of business and systems knowledge.  He has been involved in developing systems since 1980, prior to which he was involved in materials and manufacturing management.  He has used the FoxPro database management tools since the original FoxBase Plus, and in recent years almost exclusively uses Visual FoxPro, finding its flexibility and power ideal for most needs.

More recently, development has also been done using Microsoft .NET and WinDev, both against SQL Server databases.
