The Company

Harts Systems Ltd has been designing, implementing, marketing and supporting advanced computer systems for over twenty-five years. HSL was incorporated in 1982 for the sole purpose of developing computer systems on the newly invented microcomputers.

The first system undertaken was a secondary school administration, with an emphasis on the scheduling requirement. The key thought at that time was,

We did it. And produced the first, maybe the only, complete large system to work in hundreds of distant locations on such a tiny machine. In the process we developed our own operating system, our own programming and development techniques. We learned efficiency, speed, reliability, and service. But above all, we learned how to design a system that could be managed by people unskilled in computers, and who are too busy to learn.

These lessons were learned in a laboratory that cannot be reproduced today. But these lessons are embedded in every application that we undertake in this world of Windows, web, telecommunications, graphics, and terabytes.

Today we measure our success by the satisfaction of our thousands of users.

The People

The staff of HSL has an average of twenty one years experience in systems design and customer service. Excepting the CFO, everybody in the company from the most recent employee down to the president is a professional systems developer. All of us are involved in customer service on a daily basis.

No employee is directly involved with our customers until they have two years experience with our products. On the other hand, if you have an unusual problem with a system you might be passed to the original author of that system for resolution.

We developed our systems, we support our systems, and we market our systems.
