Quality – Performance – Cost

Burr IST produces high-quality, cost-effective, Data-Driven Web Applications. We define these as being web sites which provide a service to the user; they have a function as opposed to just conveying information;  typically retrieving, analysing, storing and managing information for organisations or groups of organisations. We have a wealth of experience and many successful long standing relationships in a broad range of these applications.
