Bio

Technical Director at Manifest Software Solutions Manifest Software Solutions are the leading supplier of integration solutions in social housing. Our technical team has extensive experience working with all the major housing software providers and a proven ability to integrate with any system. Our technology and skills would allow us to work in any sector, but we do our best work in Housing; it's what we know best and where our experience does the most good. We don't just install software; we build a relationship, continuing to support the integration we supply so that our customers never need to think about who to contact. I take a lot of pride in what we achieve for our customers. We try to ensure we provide a friendly service and that we are always available whenever our customers need us. I am also the Technical Director and owner of Blaze Information Systems that develops the Universal Adapter integration toolkit. We develop all our own software which allows us to guarantee that we can integrate anything with everything. We aren't constrained by any of the technical limitations commonly found in large integration platforms and we avoid the commercial partnerships and alliances that cloud company's loyalties. We work for our customer, nobody else. I have worked in Local Authority IT and Housing IT for over 30 years: I have been the head of a Local Authority IT software development team, worked as the Head of IT in a large Housing Association and run my own Mobile Working company writing software for social Housing. I have a wide range of technical and managerial skills that I like to use to benefit our customers in any way I can.
