The New Zealand Tui Beer adverts put this into context when it says ‘Yeah right’. No one advertises themselves as just average or ok, so how can we demonstrate our expertise to you?

Well, Elmbrook have had developers working and developing programs in the FoxPro language for 20 years. We have also been able to migrate substantial Foxpro Applictaions to new development platforms.

For over two decades, FoxPro has in our opinion reigned supreme when it comes to creating data-centric applications.

You may have heard on the grapevine that no further releases of Visual FoxPro will be undertaken by Microsoft; however it will continue to be supported by Microsoft until 2015 and that’s a long time in IT years. In reality we believe the ramifications of this is not all bad news, FoxPro is a very stable and robust tool, existing users will be able to confidently continue with their systems supported by Elmbrook Professionals for many years to come. This allows businesses time to plan for new technologies currently being introduced.
