undiluted no-nonsense business software

To build great business software, you need an industrial-strength technology platform, the expertise of skilled developers, a culture of innovation and a dedication to quality.
At Black Coffee Software, our goal is to bring together the best of these ingredients to produce undiluted, no-nonsense business software that delivers proven results for our customers.

IN THE LATE 1990'S THE PRINCIPALS OF BLACK COFFEE SOFTWARE had been working in the NZ software development industry for a combined period of almost 20 years.

The industry had matured a lot during this period and the technologies were improving, yet all around us we saw dissatisfied and unhappy customers and staff of software vendors.

The process of outsourcing software development seemed to be failing customers. It appeared that software vendors were not really looking after their key stakeholders and were not delivering solutions with the primary focus on improving the customers' situation.

We saw an opportunity to provide expert software development services if we focused on real outcomes for clients and maintained a highly skilled and well motivated team.

So we established Black Coffee Software with a commitment to "undiluted no-nonsense business software". We decided on Java as the best technology to provide flexibility to customers and allow them to maintain control of their own technology environments, whilst still benefiting from the latest technologies.

We were quickly rewarded with two very important clients and we have continued to grow from there. We now provide software development services to both the domestic and the UK markets.
