Our founder and company director has been successfully developing software since 1995 during which time has acquired an in-depth knowledge of many technologies some of which are described below.
ASP.Net is our first choice when it comes to creating our Web Apps, Web Api's and Microservices. It has proven to us that it is the right tooling when it comes to creating fast, scalable and secure apps when combined with the MVC pattern.
All of our own solutions are hosted on Microsoft Azure Cloud and this is our cloud platform of choice. Many clients are asking us to migrate their in house applications on to Azure and they are all experiencing substantial cost benefits.
Bootstrap is our goto front-end component library when is comes to quick prototyping of Web Apps. When combined with JQuery we can quickly implement responsive designs for our clients.
We've been developing all kinds of Apps over the past 20 years using the C# programming language since its inception back in 2000. The language has grown in strength over the years and we are still impressed with it today at version 8.0.
HTML has come a long way since the days when it could hardly handle page layouts. We use HTML5 combined with javascript frameworks such as Vue and user interface frameworks such as Quasar to create functionally rich web applications that can meet the requirements of most applications.
jQuery is a popular, fast and lightweight JavaScript library. We have used it extensively combined with jQuery UI for providing feature rich web applications that are css3 and cross browser compliant where high performance is required.
A large number of our clients are using Oracle as their relational database management system. We are not experts in Oracle database development but we have created many applications that use Oracle as the Dbms.
Quasar is an up and coming, high performance, Material Design 2, front-end UI framework. It is our UI framework of choice when developing Vue.js based web applications. This web page was constructed using Quasar and all of the front-ends to our solutions are being re-written using Quasar.
We have used RabbitMQ message broker with a number of implementations when connecting distributed systems. The most recent is an integration for a client with the Intraday trading platforms offered by Epex Spot.
Whenever we build Web APIs we recommend that they are implemented following the RESTful architectural style.
Our relational database management system of choice is Microsoft Sql Server. All of our most recent solutions have used it in conjunction with the Entity Framework with great success and it allows us to create applications very quickly without compromising on performance and scalability.
When we first saw the Javascript Framework Vue.js we were impressed at how intuitive it was and enjoyable to create our web applications. It is our Javascript Framework of choice and we have started re-writing our own solutions using it as its such an improvement of the other frameworks we have used.
Copper CloudTM develops and maintains a range of software solutions that can be purchased and used off the shelf or customised and developed to suit the needs of the client.
With over 25 years of experience working in the Automotive, Banking, Education, Energy Trading, and Tourism industries we have gained an wealth of experience integrating and working with with some of the following systems.
Connectivity Partnering
Using the Booking.com connectivity APIs we have developed solutions that integrate with room availability, reservations and prices.
This has enabled property owners to have their own booking systems and websites stay in synchronisation with this sales platform and avoid double bookings and never miss out on potential sales.
Power Trading Integration
We have worked with our Energy Trading clients to connect their internal trading systems with the Day-Ahead and Intraday trading platforms offered by Epex Spot.
The software provides a transparent, scalable and fully configurable solution that enables both Order and Trading data to be synchronised in a fast, continuous and guaranteed manner.
Aligne Trading System
A popular trading system with our clients and we have provided software and tooling to enable them to seemlessly integrate it with various markets and exchanges in the Energy Industry.
It provides data conformance, mapping and translation tools that can be configured to meet the needs of our client when capturing Trade and Market data.
Third party Api Integrations
Google provides a wealth of APIs for developers to use to help build powerful and advanced solutions. Modern application development doesn't need to start from scratch and these APIs allow us to turn our clients ideas into reality much faster.
We have experience of working with a number of these APIs to develop some amazing bespoke software for our clients. Examples of these include Search, Gmail, Translate or Google Maps.
Power Trading Integration
Our advanced solutions have also helped our Energy Trading clients to connect their internal trading systems with the Day-Ahead, Auction and Intraday trading platforms offered by Nord Pool.
We have been able to prove how easily we can scale and reconfigure our solutions to be able to integrate with additional exchanges but still provide fast, continuous and guaranteed Order and Trading data synchronisation.
Power Trading Integration
We have worked with our Energy Trading clients to connect their internal trading systems with the trading services offered by Nasdaq for European commodity trading.
Using the FIX protocol we were able to connect to the Nasdaq Genium INET APIs and synchronise trade in a fast, continuous and guaranteed manner in the same way as for EPEX and Nord Pool.
Office Integration
Microsoft exposes APIs for deploying, developing, administering and integrating software with Office 365.
We have worked with some of these APIs in helping clients seemlessly integrate their line of business applications with Microsoft Office products such as Outlook and SharePoint.
Payment Processing Integration
Many of our clients ask for the ability for their websites to be able to accept payments online. The PayPal API's offer a whole lot more than just taking payments these days and its a popular choice.
We have integrated a number of applications with PayPal using their RESTful and Classic API's.
Shipping Information Integration
The Royal Mail provides many API's to help with shipping, postage and online tracking.
We have worked with client's to leverage these API's and help them improve their operating processes and streamline their shipping activities.
Power Trading Integration
Trayport provides trading platform connectivity between Traders, Brokers and Exchanges. Our Energy Trading clients want to be able to connect their internal trading systems to this platform to capture deals, manage prices, risk & position.
The API offered by Trayport is called Joule Direct and integrated using COM+. We have provided solutions to connect to these API's and synchronise data.
