THE SERVICE
Softscan Corporation was founded in 1982 to provide consultancy and software development services.

Through the years, Softscan has expanded its activities to include consultancy in software education, software management, systems integration, quality management and documentation.

THE PHILOSOPHY
The abiding concern of Softscan is to provide implementable solutions of high integrity and innovation to demanding customers. Softscan Corporation has built up an enviable reputation for superlative customer service.

Softscan works along with its customers to evolve solutions that best fit into their working environment, thus enabling them to implement realistic solutions with minimal interference into their organisations. Softscan considers high ethical principles to be the foundation of confidence in business interaction. Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of its commitment to its customers.

Softscan also recognises that its solutions must span the radical advances that characterise the field of computer technology. Softscan has seen and survived multiple generations of change in hardware and software, and systems implemented have served some customers for over a decade.

With its extreme focus on real customer needs, Softscan remains independent of hardware and software vendors, thus enabling the selection of the most appropriate technological platforms.

Softscan deliberately maintains itself as a small core of expert professionals concerned with direct interaction with its customers. Softscan maintains a bank of organisations that it can call upon for specific development services, keeping for itself the key segments of documentation, project management and quality control.

As a result, Softscan is able to ensure that its customers are not overwhelmed by the bewildering proliferation of technology and its associated vocabulary, instead enabling them to focus on their own business and activity.
