Mindfire has an excellent delivery record and primary focus on developing for the Windows platform: desktop, server and new-technology applications.

Our expertise and experience of Windows technologies moves from system-level programming (processes, threads, semaphores) to desktop applications (VC++/VB), and from Office applications (Word/Excel add-ins and macros) to enterprise development (MS-Exchange, .NET).
