About Our Company
 
BabelFix creates powerful bespoke solutions - one off's to the highest standards.
Each is individually designed and crafted to match exactly our client's business and personality, made
to meet their needs with specialist tools as well as more conventional functionality. In many cases our
solutions can replace several other software packages, providing a single integrated environment that
users rarely need to leave.

We're passionate about empowering people by creating software that can at the same time be the
worker's friend and co-worker, management's insight and the director's delight. Much of our work is
desktop based, though of course we can also design for web deployment and it's all cross platform.
Naturally, we can also provide support and training.

No two businesses are ever quite the same and nor are our solutions. We never
start from a bunch of 'standard' templates to do this and we don't have ready-made or shrink wrapped
products for sale. Sorry, but we believe that for our software to offer real value it needs to do the right
things in the right order, the right way. And that takes time as well as skill.

Sensitive pre-planning comes first. We start every project by doing a lot of
listening and watching. We ask a lot of questions. After that we work very closely with our clients and
their actual users to make detailed plans for a scaleable solution that will deliver exactly what they
really need. With solid foundations for now and the future. We won't take on a project without this and
only after it will we begin to make solid recommendations and commence design. But it's invariably
worth it. Let us show you some of our work.

We've worked with a remarkably wide range of businesses.
Our team's work spans a lot - charity, photography, insurance, film production, business intelligence,
fleet management's, PR, rock band tour shipping, patient management, advertising and music. (And our
team's experience goes further still)*

Our Worldwide clients have included FileMaker themselves, as well as Rough Trade
Records, Global Motion, The RaceWay and Survival International. And we're about to help a leading
psychologist's practice. Primary projects, large and small, have taken us anything from a day to a year's
work. And as our clients' businesses evolve - so of course do their needs, so we always anticipate
seeing old friends again and again.

Within the FileMaker community we're pretty well known for our interface design and provide
metaconsulting to other developers. It is also true that we have a lot of respect for a number of other
developers and have no hesitation at all in calling them in to help whenever their specialist skills exceed
our own. It makes for an incredibly flexible but powerful workforce.

*BabelFix principal, Chris Manton has been developing FileMaker solutions for 12
years and leads development. He's twice been an invited speaker at FileMaker developer conferences,
as well as leading master classes for FileMaker International, lecturing and giving talks at MacWorld and
FSA meetings. He's an advisor to Excelisys in the US. Before founding BabelFix over 4 years ago, he ran
its forerunner, e-Headroom, and also worked for Advanced Database Systems. Before this Manton was
a senior producer in advertising, working with many blue chip companies, including P&G, SmithKline,
BP, Scottish & Newcastle, Nestle, Mars, Rover, besides countless others large and very small, managing
not only budgets from thousands to millions, but also handling complex creative and logistical
challenges. He still finds all this experience very handy today.

Come and see us. We don't bite, even if our work does. BabelFix has its offices on
the upper floor of a charming mews, overlooking a private courtyard and the Espresso machine's on
24/7. We like to have fun at work and always welcome good company.
