Contour was developed by business consultants with many years experience of managing software development projects for both small and multi-national companies. They discovered that they needed a way to better manage requirements to reduce risk for their clients, but felt frustrated by the narrow range of cumbersome and complicated enterprise tools available. After searching and not finding the right product to meet their needs, they built their own.

Today, Contour’s developers are the founders and directors of a growing business. Contour is being used successfully on a range of different projects and is ideal for use in industries such as government, healthcare, insurance, finance and consumer electronics.

Our organisation is proud to be open – in more ways than just one. Our customers appreciate the honesty of our communications, the accessibility of our consultants and the lack of secrecy surrounding our product development. We offer a firm commitment to all our customers to provide:

Excellent customer service. As a smaller company, we are able to give our customers personal attention and a quick response to queries. Your business will never be unimportant to us, and we are here to help. We can offer consultants who can customise the solution to meet any specific requirements and will work with you to ensure that you derive maximum value from your use of Contour.

Entirely open standards. Contour has been developed entirely on industry-recognised, open standards. It is therefore easy for companies to integrate the solution with other enterprise or web-based systems and change the look and feel. As new standards and technologies emerge, we will continue to ensure the full interoperability of our solution.

Focused product development. We focus purely on one product: Contour. As a result, our development efforts are not divided between multiple solutions or diverted onto integrating multiple solutions into single solution suites. We are experts in requirements management – and that is what we intend to stay. We welcome user feedback and involve users in decisions about new functionality and features.

Continued technical leadership. Contour was developed on the Ajax platform, at a time when Ajax was only just emerging as the world’s next great technology. It is therefore one of the first enterprise solutions to make the power of Web 2.0 technology available to businesses. Contour will remain at the forefront of technical innovation and it will continue to deploy the latest technologies to deliver truly powerful business solutions.
