    - Peter F Cooper, Director, Xebec Information Systems Ltd.

Peter Cooper specialises in creating business solutions based largely on InterSystems technology. Since 2007 his major work has been with SmartWater Technology re-engineering their legacy systems to create a bespoke solution that meets their unique business needs. This Caché based solution provides end to end support of Smartwater’s business needs, from production to shipment to customer support.

After working in IT for 15 years Peter set up his own consultancy in 1999 providing complete solutions to a range of clients ranging from pedigree animal breed societies, retail chains , medical and banking. These solutions are based largely on Intersystems technology (both Caché and Ensemble) but also use Delphi and .Net where appropriate. Currently work uses a ZEN user interface that integrates with other systems and platforms via Soap Web Services and ODBC.
