Since last fortnight's post, most development activity has been on the following projects:
- Website development - development work on our Hilltops IT website for re-branding. This has been the main focus for us - bringing together the design work with the "nuts and bolts" of the mechanics of the site. there are still a couple of tweaks to make, but the site is looking really good. Everyone internally is really excited about being able to announce the launch.
- Business Intelligence reporting - continued work on a bespoke project reporting on 3,000,000+ rows of data from disparate data sources using SQL Server Reporting Services.
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM - minor tweaks to an existing customer's MSCRM system for additional summary information in their Accounts screen.
Plus! We've been looking at the feasibility of a new product in the ConnectIT range. More on that soon.

BUSINESS TIPS: Financing purchases with a government grant
Are you aware of all the government schemes available to help small businesses fund projects?
And the project funding can include software purchases and training!!!?
The IoD (Institute of Directors) has published a very comprehensive guide to approaching the appropriate organisations which is available for download here.
Alternatively, give Hilltops IT a call on 0844 3577360 or 01782 564252. We have worked with several clients that have received part-funding for their Sage ACT! and QuoteWerks-based software solutions that we have delivered to them. We can offer some practical advice based on our experiences as to how to best present the software project.
