Bellow we try to list some of the many technologies Zonewide has had practical experience with, first in generic terms then naming specific brands and standards. This list is by no means complete as we specialises in new and emerging technologies, and can usually achieve a result using any systems. We don't claim to know everything about any of these products or standards, we have used them all and gained a level of familiarity and also know how to research what we don't know.
Fields of experience
Zonewide has had exposure to many common Internet and intranet protocols, standards and languages. Web servers and browsers, file transfer and sharing software, text, audio and video chat systems. We have worked with various streaming media types and servers as well as programing the client software for these. We have used many different operating systems and data storage and retrieval systems including relational and hierarchical databases. We have used various scripting languages and automation systems a lot. We have developed bespoke custom software, sometimes for enterprise scale systems. We have built content management systems from scratch and used or modified existing commercial products. We have converted legacy client based applications into web based applications and developed many new web applications based on business requirements. Zonewide has often had to integrate legacy or existing software and systems with the new systems being developed. Our experience also includes using good communication skills to establish a business requirement, develop this into a functional specification and deliver concise and useful documentation. Nearly all the projects worked on have required security planning and has ranged from file permissions and user profiles to encryption and secure certificates.
