PBMS Consultants - a rare combination of business and software development experience

PBMS Consultants are professional software developers with over twenty years experience in desktop and network solutions.  Our reputation is built on a combination of business experience and exploitation of the most popular and familiar applications software.  Peter Barton, our founder and principal consultant is an accountant with wide ranging experience of financial management and business consultancy.

We work with directors, managers and professional advisors to create efficient and practical software solutions to business problems.

Our business experience allows us to play a pro-active part in the design process, which not only relieves you of the much of detailed specification task but also adds fresh and innovative thinking to the solution.  We can best illustrate this by referring you to some of our client's comments below.

Exceptional value for money without compromise on quality

Quality professional services cannot be bought cheaply.  However, with our extensive library of custom templates for Microsoft Excel & Word and modular database system for Microsoft Access, we already have in place the building blocks for a great many custom applications.  You can enjoy the benefits both in cost and reduction of development timescales.

"This seems a good opportunity to write and thank you for all the outstanding work you did over the years.  Your standards of work are outstanding and your accounting background gives a degree of attention to detail and, especially, to balancing figures which is an enormous benefit as compared with the usual computer consultant.  I thought the [handover] meeting went very well.  They are in good hands with PBMS.  Should you ever need a reference for a new client, do not hesitate to ask."

Senior Partner and ex UK Director of Finance, Deloitte & Touche (on his retirement)

"I wanted to have the opportunity to let you know how impressed I am by your commitment and the professionalism of your whole approach to identifying and implementing business solutions.  It was my experience of the same qualities when I was at Forte that led me to seek you out again when I joined Compass.  It is truly gratifying to work with someone who strives, often beyond the remit of the original commission, to add value to everything you deliver.  Your quickness to grasp the business requirement (and often to remind us of things we have overlooked) is of great value, and is one of the reasons I am always pleased to recommend you to others within and outside Compass"

Former Technical Development Manager, Compass Group UK (and still a client in his new role)

"I have used Peter Barton and PBMS Consultants on several occasions to design and implement complex spreadsheet manipulations for CRM, and would highly recommend him to anyone.  I want 'simple in, simple out' which is where Peter excels: I leave the complex stuff in the middle to him!"
